Suggestions for a chorus pedal

[DennisofBurney]

What would be a good chorus pedal to pair with my TC Hall of Fame 2? I have used an LR Baggs Align Chorus but am not really smitten with it. My Fishman Loudbox Artist has a decent Chorus, but there is little adjustments. I play a lot of church hymns, finger style, so a good Chorus pedal would be very useful. Anyone with suggestions?

Get a Boss BF-2. You can dial it to do a chorus and then back to flanger when you get sick of chorus.

I only have one chorus pedal,ce-2 boss.
That was my choice.

The Boss CE-5 or CH-1 are a good place to start. Very flexible and sound good with and without distortion. Inexpensive too.

BOSS CH-1 is the easy choice. I also used to use an MXR analog chorus, which I liked more than the CH-1.

I’ve never actually tried that. I’ll have to give it a shot. Thanks for the info!

Boss Ch-1 for me. This is probably will not go over well, but IMHO all Chorus pretty much sounds the same in a mix. No need to get something fancy.

Kinda agree here, by itself you’ll hear it but with everything else it’s “chorus” I’ve never heard a chorus on an album and went “oh that’s a BOSS”

Hard to beat a DC2 or CE2.

The TC 3rd dimension is great and only $40, if you only need mono. (DC2 clone)

The Shallow Water is badass if you like bougie pedals.

MXR Micro Chorus. Simple one knob pedal, gets the job done.

Fan of the Boss DC-2W.

Sadly, I could say the same about almost any type of pedal. And almost any guitar.

Any of these

If I was buying a chorus pedal, which I probably would never do on it’s own, I’d buy the Jackson Audio New Wave.

For acoustic I might go with either the TC SCF if you like brighter tones, or a CE-2 if you prefer deeper tones.

The best sounding chorus I’ve ever used is the PastFX Chorus Ensemble, but it might be a little too colored for acoustic instruments

I've got a few of them and I'd probably get a Boss CH-1 today. I like that it has an effect level mix control in addition to rate, depth, and tone.

I like a chorus pedal on a slow swirl, not mixed in too much. After many such pedals, including the Analog Man Bi-Chorus, the SCF, the old Fulltone Choralflange from way back, the Boss stuff, etc., I wound up with the Suhr Alexa.

I don't know if it's made any more, but they're still available new. It does chorus and a vibrato, is switchable so you can have two different settings, has tap tempo, soft relay switching, sounds excellent, and the enclosure is billet aluminum with a very snazzy anodized finish that wears like iron. You can plug an expression pedal in, and add to its versatility if desired.

The pedal is analog, sounds great (to me, YMMV of course). I have kind of a thing for Suhr's pedals. They make lots of highly desirable gear.
