fretmeister Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 £150 or under ideally. What should I try? Looking for lush and subtle, not stupid wobbly! ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'm using a Boss CE-2 that I borrowed off a mate & does a nice job. Probably @ £50 s/h but I'll sell you it for £150 posted if you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Analogman Chorus with deep mod, or EBS Unichorus would be my two recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I've got an oldish DOD Icebox that is pretty nice. I paid about £30 for it secondhand years ago. With a £150 budget, you can try most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 They're not quite as common, but I recommend the EHX Neo Clone. Mine cost me about £50 brand new, nice and simple to use (just a knob to adjust the rate, and a switch to make the effect more obvious). Very nice sound, small so perfect for pedalboards, and true bypass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 This is a great one: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=134212"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=134212[/url] No, I'm not just saying that because I'm selling it. Ok, I am. But it's trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I've tried a few in my time, Boss CE3B, CE2B, Digitech bass chorus, EHX small clone and an EBS unichorus. The Boss CE2 and the EBS were my favourite two, the winner (for me) is the EBS - it's just lovely (and has a small footprint, too) and choc-full of analogue goodness.

dudewheresmybass Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 CE5, MXR Black Label Chorus/ Analogue chorus (same thing!), MXR micro Chorus all sound great with bass, and all a load of cash away from budget! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Analogman might be worth a look, they seem to specialise in chorusses somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyKnees Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I had a Boss bass chorus pedal back in the 80's that was very nice (until some tosser nicked it off me at a charity gig) - I think the one they do now is basically the same spec. I also used an electro harmonix electric mistress (more of a flanger/filter type effect really) for a while...not bass specific, but I used to get some interesting sounds from it. It's not an effect I use these days tbh, but i'm sure there are tons out there to choose from... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the Mini Chorus with Deep mod, wasn't using it so I sold it. Then regretted it and waited ages for another one. I kept missing them, so finally settled on the normal size Chorus with the 3 way switch. Then another Mini came up so I sold the normal sized one to buy the Mini Chorus with Deep Mod again! Nothing wrong with the big box one, just needed more pedalboard space at the time! Seriously, go AnalogMan. Best Chorus pedal for Bass that I've found.

drewk_ie Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 If you can get your hands on one of the old late 80's early 90's Boss chorus pedals, you won't go far wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBassBob Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Another vote for the Analogman here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I managed to find a Boss CE1B that is grand. Not too overdone and came with an authentic 'road-worn' look! My advice would be buy 2nd hand from other bass-chatters and then continue the circle of GAS if it is not what you want - like all these things it is a matter of taste.

dumelow Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I just purchased a DOD stereo bass chorus off a fellow basschatter and im very happy with what it can do, old DODs are quality IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
