My favourite effect, though i still don't have one. There are so many to chose from, for example:

Boss CE5
Digitech multi chorus
Marshall Regenerator
MXR Stereo Chorus

But i don't know which way to go. My guitar teacher said get the Boss CE5, but his musical taste varies a lot from myn.
I want a vintage sounding chorus, the 80's kind of one. Ozzy and Metallica, think of the song Welcome Home (Sanitarium) by Metallica.

Any suggestions?

The only ones I've tried on that list are the Boss and Marshall.
Of the two I prefered the Boss, but I found that the BF-3 sounded even better, and has the bonus of being able to go into more extreme flanging sounds (which is pretty obivous I guess).

Try and test a few out side by side and see which you prefer, but also bear the BF-3 in mind.

Not played any of those mentioned, but the EH Small Clone is a great little chorus, for a very reasonable price...It's not quite as 'tweakable' as some of the other chorus pedals i've seen, but it's definitely the best sounding to my ears...

Their a bit pricier, but the Maxon CS-9 pro and the vintage one sound fantastic

I would have to say Boss Super Chorus. It's a classic effect, not very expensive, and you can't beat it's reliability. I like it alot. Great for that classicFrusciante clean sound...

I like the MXR M-134 Stereo Chorus. I had a CE-5 as well, but IMO the MXR sounds much nicer & is more versatile.

Of course, it's >double the price of the CE5, but IMO it's money well spent :)

It has more controls too, and from the clips it sounds pretty vintage.

EHX Small Clone everytime...

do not...repeat..do NOT go with a digitech multichorus...it sounds very very digital and sucks your tone badly, it also eats a new battery within hours then acts as though all the knobs are cranked and you cant change it (unless you put in a fresh battery or use an adapter) I also found that it is a pretty noisy pedal. the mxr stereo chorus sounds like it would be a nice choice, but..stay..away from the digitech chorus *shudders* btw..I have a digitech multichorus for sale..anyone interested? :P
