Chorus Pedals

I've always been happy with a Boss CE2 or CE3.  My ancient Electro-Harmoix Clone Theory continues to serve me well, also; never tried one of the Small Clones but I'd imagine they're similar.  If you happen to hit the lottery, though, my vote would be to try a Fulltone Choralflange --- shweet!

P.S.:  BTW if you do hit the lottery and decide you don't like the Choralflange, just send it along to me......

I now use the chorus in my Vox Tonelab, but before that I used a boss Dimension C pedal, the one with the four preset buttons along the top.

Simple to use analog pedal and it sounded great! which is why I still have it (for a rainy day)

This is not a very useful suggestion as they seem to be as rare as rocking horse poo now!

I tried a Digitech Mutli-Chorus and liked it better than either of the two Boss pedals and much better than the Small Clone because it has a effect level control on it and the Small Clone does not. It is not too pricey either.

I own the CE-5, and you really can't beat it for price, durability, and tone. Yeah there are better, but they cost more too. Out of the ones you listed I'd go with the Boss CE-5.

+1 to this :)

I've had 1 for years and it suits me just fine. It's more on the mellow side compared to something like a Small Clone etc, which I didn't like. Far too extreme for the chorus tones I wanted :)

I have an old Ibanez CS-9. They're currently being reissued. Excellent 80's sounding chorus that's great for Ozzy, Metallica, The Cult etc.

I want a vintage sounding chorus, the 80's kind of one


So now I'm vintage eh..... 8)  My resale price just went up.

Should I ever decide to sell myself that is.

Anyway I use a CE-5 and its good if not altogerther overly complicated. I'm a bells and whistles kind of guy so it suits me.

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


Must confess that may be the worst sales pitch to sell a pedal I have heard

I have a Jacques Meistersinger and it's a great sounding chorus.

I heard a guy playing a stereo Boogie combo rig with a Fulltone ChoralFlange and that was very nice!

can't go wrong with an EH Small Clone - they have real character and are available on ebay for £45...
