I've just gone back to the pedal phase after many years of not having one. Best I learn how to play now I suppose

I love it when bands jump down on their hands and knees and start playing their pedals. It's cooooooool. Get yo' oscillation on. I can understand how having a chorus, flanger, phaser and wah would be lame though. Especially chorus.

I think having a bad chorus is lame...that's why a lot of people think chorus is not useable - most do sound very average. Anyone got any totally great sounding chorus recommendations? I have a CE-3 and it is average to say the least...

Ibanez 10/Power Series SC10 Super Stereo Chorus

[Edit: In fact, so good and versatile, I bought a second one.]

i've used the same Boss ch-1 super chorus for over 10 years, and have no complaints... I am awaiting the release of Diamond's Halo Chorus though

I've got a boss CE-2, the wowrarecollectable mij one. Got 3 pedals for $120 and it came with them so Im happy, it sounds good in moderation, I dont often go over half way with either knobs unless Im pretentding to be a submarine.

CH-1 owner here. It's cool.

and another vote for the CH-1, it can be pretty subtle - and its even better in stereo

I think the reason that some people don't appreciate chorus is simply that it doesn't suit some musical styles. For the oldies music I play, it works well.

For my music, so does tremelo. Flanger not so much. Delay and reverb - totally.

I've got an Ibanez CS-9. Subtle when needs. Great all round really.

I have a CH1 and a CE2. The CH1 is a great pedal, really versitile. It can do from subtle thickening of the sound all the way to small clone sounding come as you are chorus.

The CE2 is more of a one trick pony doing the subtle thickening the sound type of chorus, but it does it really well.

I do like using a few effects, but unless you're trying to wash your sound out I reckon modulation effects sound best blended about 50% through an effects loop, so you're still getting your dry guitar sound in the mix as well.

CE2 here. I think I got it of Philipnz once he got the keely man to look at it. Can't remember the last time I used it?
