New chorus day!

[metropolis_4]

For $80 brand new how could I not pick this up!

I’ve always wanted to try one (I know, I know, Behringer, not exactly the same, blah blah). Especially after hearing the Fulltone Choralflange is based on it since that was my favorite chorus back in the day.

Claims about the buffer quality and low noise level also appealed to me.

It’s a very cool pedal! The chorus is on the bright side and sits nicely. It can be very subtle. Dead silent. Lots of different sounds between the controls and the 3 modes.

Definitely a keeper and well worth twice what I paid for it!

This is chorus #3. I put all three on the board tonight to compare and they’re all very different. The MXR is dark, super fat, and sort of bulks up everything. The Waterfall sort of sits between the two. Very Boss-ish to my ears. The SCF is more versatile than the other two and is more subtle. I have to crank intensity and depth to get into the realm of the other two.

Now I need a Small Clone…

Nice! I have the MXR Stereo one coming tomorrow! I'd definitely like to check out the SCF

I would definitely have a MXR Stereo if I had a power supply that could handle it. I really like the MXR chorus “flavor”.

The SCF is awesome and very different from the MXR. The MXR fattens everything up while the SCF is more neutral and can be more subtle. It’s maybe a little brighter. It sounds like the ‘80s to me.

Chorus is my favorite modulation effect, it's subtle enough to not change the sound and at high-ish depth setting it has enough wobble to almost sound like a Leslie.

Very Nice Board Met

It took over from flanger as my fav after I got my Julia chorus.

This chorus is going up front. The rest when I want will e from the FM3 in the loop. Board is just for my jam room so power supply isn't an issue. Sounding 80's is a good thing in my book

I think the MXR chorus are great at going up front. If you find yourself thinking the MXR is too full/fat then maybe the SCF is worth a try

Chorus is my favorite modulation and I’d rather have chorus than delay or reverb if I had to pick ONE post effect

I just accidentally bought one of these

Wow!

I think I sold my OG SCF for $200+ about 12 years ago (post Fractal).

When I still had an analog board, I was using a Jacques Meistersinger. I think it was mono but I was running it in the amp's loop so stereo didn't matter anyway.

I might make the same choice. With what I play these days I think chorus is my most-used post effect, more than even reverb or delay

I quite like running chorus in front of my drives tbh. I'll often put it after my fuzz but before any drive pedals on the board.

I tested some chorus pedals for use with gain. The blue MXR Analog Chorus won by a mile. Love it.

Got my yellow MXR stereo today and was able to fire it up with the Boogii. It is an absolute KEEPER. Best for Zakk up front vs. the CE clone and the CH1. Little more obvious than the CH and nowhere near as phasy as the CE clone. CH1 was great but the CE clone was not good to my ears at all. MXR going on the board

SCF won the shootout and went on the board. I love how it can be a more subtle “enhancer” when I want, and not always an obvious effect. But it can still do the heavy chorus effect when I want.

I think I’m going to be selling the Ripply Fall. I love the chorus on it, but I’m not crazy about the phaser side. It’s too intense and can’t be dialed back. I like my script Phase 90 way better. I think I’d rather have the Waterfall, but it might not be necessary with both the SCF and PastFX Chorus Ensemble. We’ll have to see after than one gets here.

The MXR Stereo is a thing of beauty

Is your CH1 an older analog one or a newer digital one?

It was a borrowed one. One of the newer digital ones. I liked it but MXR is a lot more present in the mix, so to speak.
