JPJ Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Whats the consensus these days for the best chorus and octave pedals? Are the Boss CEB & OC still the market leaders or has something else usurped them? Also any good options in the small form factor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulo m Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) The pedal I use & I've had plenty of people ask.... "Just what make of chorus pedal are you using to get that sound..????" The answer is T. C. Electronic John Pettrucci Dreamscape.... It has 2 types of Chorus' Vibrato' & Flanging plus the Tone print Feature... it also can emulate a Phaser very well indeed... Its an extremely versatile' subtle' pedal.... the more I've worked with it the more I appreciate its adaptability' better than Pedals three times the price. As for an Octaver... I had for twenty odd years the first generation & much coverted..Bronze' OC2 I enjoyed it' with all its warbleness & glitches... But I sold it & now I use a First Generation COG T16... which to my ears sounds just like the old OC2 but with extra functionality smaller footprint & brilliant tracking... the Boss OC 5...is definitely worth checking out.... Happy hunting.. Kev. 😉 Edited May 14, 2022 by paulo m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boodang Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I'm a fan of analogue octave pedals, my fav at the moment is the Aguilar Octamizer. Octave filter control (smooth to edgy), clean and octave mix, plus a tilt eq. Everything you need in a octaver, does subtle to full on but with a very organic sound.

Bagman Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 OC-2 if if you can’t find one maybe Ashdown Sub Harmonic I don’t know anything regarding digital octaves Chorus I quite like Tech21 Bass Boost Chorus versatility /options aplenty there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boodang Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 MXR's vintage bass octave is based on an original Boss OC2 pedal from Janek Gwizdala's collection which he lent them. He does a comparison between the two in one of his YouTube pedal episodes. The MXR comes out quite well and a cheaper and easier option than trying to track down an original.

pete.young Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Lots of love for the OC-5 , if you can find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Do you want to borrow my Boss units and see if they suit? My old brown chorus died and I got the new (blue) chorus but the Octave is original. I may even have the chorus back up and running soon as I established it is the switch which is an easy replaceable part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
