JuliusGroove Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 What are the best bet for a bass chorus pedal? Never owned one.. Cheers! Quote
RichF Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 hello, I use chorus frequently and the two best I have used are analogman [url="http://www.analogman.com/clone.htm"]http://www.analogman.com/clone.htm[/url] and Tech21 Bass Boost Chorus [url="http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/effects/boostchorusbass.html"]http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/effects/boostchorusbass.html[/url] - these are £120+ pedals. I moved to a nano board for most gigs and I sacrificed quite a bit of tone for a mooer ensemble king [url="http://www.mooeraudio.com/en/ProductInfo.asp?id=27"]http://www.mooeraudio.com/en/ProductInfo.asp?id=27[/url] which was OK, esp in the sort of rough and ready pub gigs I was playing, and was perfect in the micro casing.

0175westwood29 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I use a cloned of the old brown boss chorus with a few tweaks, But the Tc chorus is also nice Andy Quote

Mr Anthony Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I've seen a few people using the EHX Small Clone, and it sounds pretty good actually. Doesn't have a great deal of tweakability from what I've gathered though. Quote
paul_5 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 The small clone is a lovely, warm analogue chorus, but it loses too much bottom end for my liking. Great chorus for guitar though, I suppose if you had a blender then you'd be OK. Quote
hrry Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 For the money, the Palmer Herrenchor is pretty tastey! Thomann have it at a good price too. Quote
thisnameistaken Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 The Boss CEB-3 is pretty good. It has a real freezing '80s quality to it, and you can bypass your lower notes if you want to. Quote
SmallDawg Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 I have owned several chorus pedals and have found the Boss CEB-3 to be the best and most versatile one on bass. I'm currently using the MXR Black Label Zakk Wylde chorus pedal and it rules but the CEB-3 has a real edge over it. -edit- using the MXR because i don't have a rack chorus for my bass rig yet and the MXR is on my guitar pedal board Quote
BigBassBob Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 It depends on what chorus sound you'd want. If you want something more subtle you could go for a Neunaber Chorus, Iron Ether Polytope or the detune setting on a Digitech Whammy. These pedals produce a more subtle "shimmer" rather than a "warble" which can be overpowering in some circumstances. That said, the IE Polytope can go into the realms of absurd and "when am I ever going to use this?" I really fell in love with the Analogman Clone Chorus for its thick, rich swells and organic nature. Bear in mind that a lot of chorus effects can add some faint high-end noise. If you use tweeters or have a very treble heavy rig then some pedals are going to produce more hiss than others. Quote
inthedoghouse Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) For the few times I use it, my Analogman chorus gives me no cause for complaint :-) Edited October 16, 2014 by inthedoghouse Quote

ezbass Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I've been using the EBS Unichorus for years, also has a flange and pitch modulation setting; a quality piece of kit. However, your own ears will be the best judge. Quote

Higgie Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I love my Analogman - But very tempted by the Aguilar as it looks a bit more versatile! How much are they Molan? Quote
