radiophonic Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Anyone got or tried one of these? I have double GAS for a decent chorus and a Pork Loin, but assuming my EHX Crayon doesn't sell on here, the overdrive can stay on hold for a while. The MXR Chorus claims to be a dual chorus / flanger, but none of the youtube demos go very far with the flanger options. Usually a flanger would have a feedback or resonance control, so do the main knobs on the MXR adjust any of the flanger parameters? Also, it has a crossover to take out the fundamentals. I can see how this would be useful, but AFAIK, this isn't adjustable right? Just on/off. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I like mine, from the manual INTENSITY knob controls the overall amount of modulation in CHORUS mode and regeneration in FLANGER mode. link to the manual https://www.jimdunlop.com/text/content/pdp/manuals/M83.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBobTTD Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I like mine. It really adds warmth to my signal. I bought it for a little chorus on the higher registers (I'm not a massive fan of chorus, truth be told) and to warm up my signal and it does that job very well indeed. I highly recommend it. Built like a tank, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiophonic Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm actually wondering if I might need something a bit more aggressive- like the MXR analog chorus. It's a tonne cheaper too. Seems to work well on bass without the crossover- plus 2/3 the price. At least they are easy to try in a shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I have, and love, the MXR analog chorus. Hi and Low cuts do a very similar job to the crossover... great pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that the chorus circuit passes everything below 70Hz dry anyway, I wonder? I notice the AC is buffered too, rather than true bypass (although I'm not sure what this amounts to, these days. Buffering is generally pretty transparent compared to 80s pedals). I'll try and A/B them in PMT (kids notwithstanding). They'll have the Boss bass chorus too and probably an EHX one. Definitely not the TC Corona though, which is the other obvious one to compare.

Cuzzie Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Sorry, the bass chorus deluxe as per OP. Thickens beautifully and leaves the bottom end alone, love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Sorry buddy, but you would absolutely not regret it. Think of it as 1 less pint and a packet of pork scratchings a month Edited May 5, 2017 by Cuzzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBerriff Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I don't have mine on the pedalboard at the moment but manual says: Intensity knob controls the overall ... modulation in Chorus mode and regeneration in Flanger mode. The chorus sounds excellent and the X-over really works. I have not used the flanger much but it does sound like a flanger to me. I must dig out the Banshees and Cure songbooks.
