Linus27 Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I'm thinking of getting a chorus pedal and just wondering whats the best or more favoured one? Years ago, I used to use the old blue Boss one but I'm sure things have moved on since then. Thanks for any help. Quote
Al Heeley Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I have the classic old Boss CEB-1, for me it's the benchmark chorus pedal. I'm sure there are marvellous exotic and boutique ones available now but this is still a classic workhorse for me. Quote
WarPig Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Ive used the CEB-3, but to be honest i cant remember if it was any good. Now ive got an original EHX small clone, which is a supurb pedal, so simple and sounds great. Quote
ezbass Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I've got an EBS Unichorus, it does the classic chorus sound really well plus it has pitch modulation and flanger too. This pedal has never been off my pedal board since I got it. Quote
thisnameistaken Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 I only ever used chorus when I wanted to sound deliberately '80s, but I don't think anyone else got the joke so I stopped. But yeah, the Boss CEB-3 is pretty good, if you like that sort of thing. It has a crossover on it so you can limit the chorus to upper-register stuff, which is handy. Quote
pantherairsoft Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I use something which I doubt many others do. You would have to fish around eBay to find one though but I doubt it would cost you much! DOD Ice Box Stereo Chorus (FX64). It was made for guitar but worked a million times better on the bass. Cost me £40 new about 6 years ago. Still works perfect and sounds stunning!!!! Quote

Well worth the money and you can definitely pick them up for cheaps! Quote
bassace Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I've got a CEB-3 in the Effects For Sale section right now! Quote
JHBASS Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I really recomend the Digitech Bass Multi chorus, but like a brick and great sounds.....deserves the name 'Sir Flangeolot' Cheers, Josh Quote

tischbein Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 +1 on the EBS Uni Chorus... best value for the money, imho Quote

Obviously, that would be the cheap option. If you've got alot to spend, check out the Analogman chorus, the Red Witch Empress and the Diamond Halo. Quote
