Chorus Bass Pedal with plenty of bottom end/punch. Suggestions?

[coffee_king]

Hey All
I'm after a chorus bass pedal.
Ive got a Zoom B2.1u but I dont like the chorus on that, Ive also got chorus built into a little Roland Micro Cube Bass RX (That I wouldnt ever use live on stage), yet on both of them the volume dips quiet dramatically when they are turned on and I also loose a lot of the actual bass punch. You could put it down to output levels but adjusting them seems to not make any real difference.
So does anyone have any suggestions on a bass chorus pedal?
Something thats still got loads of bottom end punch when turned on.
I only use it in one song, so I'd rather not spend big money.

Cheers

i picked up an old BOSS CE-5 for £40 on e-bay recently, one of the older analog ones. sounds great to me, plus has the high and low filters, so you can keep the lower frequencies uneffected. I'm really quite liking it.

for new pedals, the MXR micro chorus is simple and pretty cheap - bit of a volume boost but that may be appealing?

Boss CEB3

it's got a blend pot and cutoff threshold pot as well so it can target treble strings or the full range.

Great chorus pedal. Does exactly what a bass chorus is supposed to do. And it does it well.

TC Electronic Corona...v cool pedal!

Boss ceb 3
Boss ce 5 (analog if poss)
But the newer mxr black label chorus and the analog chorus are exactly the same just with a different paint job and modelled on the older analog ce5.
I have one and it is one of the few pedals that haven't been changed or upgraded in a few years- quite unusually for me

Analog man mini chorus - with an added deep setting and mix control knob its amazing.

+1, love mine!

Before I upgraded to it I used a Boss CEB-3 for years, also a great pedal and can be had for cheaps. Well worth the £40 you can get em for second hand.

[burno70]

After using a Boss CEB-3, Analogman chorus and the chorus effects on the Line 6 M9 I've settled on an EBS Unichorus. I much prefer it to the others and you can nab them for between £60-£80 second hand these days.

+1. Loving mine. You get 2 chorus modes + toneprint. There are great bass player toneprints that really make this pedal shine on bass, plus TC have released the editor so you can design your own and even make it a flanger or vibrato instead of a chorus. The blend knob makes it brilliantly usable after distortion and helps retain low end clarity over clean tone.

I have a Harley Benton bass chorus and I'm liking a lot and for £20 you cant really go wrong.

Behringer bass chorus isn't bad at all

Personally I think the EBS UniChorus is fantastic, you can blend the dry and effected signal but adjusting the bypass switch (which I havent done), its featured in this video:

Another chorus pedal that I really like (which needs mods for 9v power supply and new switch) is the DOD fx65, a strange one really as Im not into hassle, but really thick and deals well with the bottom end. I moved a CH-1 & CEB-3 on because whilst Boss pedals are reliable and great for the board, theres something exciting missing from the sound, dont get me wrong, they do exactly what you would want a pedal to do but no magic... just an opinion.
I also have Sea Machine, which is just wonderfully weird tremolo/chorus verb thing, not made for bass mind so only really used when picking shoegazer stuff.

Is there any difference between guitar and bass effect pedals?

[AKAK]

MXR M234 Analog chorus, lots of tuning options for both the high and low with a superb warm chorus. Plus you can adjust the level so you do not have a high volume jump on activation. I like it and just bought one off the forum.

Happy hunting!

Ive always wondered this too. Does anyone know?
All those Boss Chorus pedals are classed as "Guitar" pedals. There is a bass bass chorus pedal though called a CE-2B.
