I have the Waza Dimension C and it's absolutely flawless. It's got that perfect lush watery chorus that's not too wobbly, not too phasey and in general, just doesn't do anything weird. It's just a great chorus and after owning the Waza CE2, Corona, Tricerachorus, CE5, small stone and Strymon Ultraviolet, the Dimension is chorus perfection to my ears. No need for any fancy controls. It's like they took 4 great examples of a chorus and gave us preset buttons.

I own one, you can get past it by leaving the pedal on and just lowering the level all the way. It only sucks tone when you bypass it so in a rig you can definitely use it still. Tone suck is there but it’s not a real problem. Slash apparently uses this for when he needs chorus.

Thanks. That was a fun video on all things Chorus Pedal. I have been playing guitar for 53 years now (68 and full-time player). Worked in a music retail store (1980 thru 1997). I was in on the ground (chorus) floor with the Boss CE-1, CE-2 (sold it, missed it, bought another one in 1981 and still have it), Dimension C (still have it). Had a DOD bigger bulkier stereo chorus that was nice but sold it. Now, I rarely even use chorus. But it is such a beautiful sounding effect. Had a Roland Jazz Chorus 120 for a while too. Wish I still had it. One of the originals from the very first year of production. Sigh... Great job on the video bro. I subscribed. Keep'em coming'!

@michael_caz_nyc 5 лет назад

I am a Chorus junkie. Had em all. Loved this Video. Like a trip down memory lane. The Most Under-Rated Chorus of all time is the Ibanez Bi-Mode Chorus ( black & purple ). Amazing Pedal.

I still have the CS9 but don't use it much. On my board now I have an MXR Carbon Copy. The modulation switch adds a chorus effect. I also use an MXR Phase 95. Together they sound really good.

That delay time control seems to be unusual and it just lets me get to something special I've not been able to before.

If you can find one, the chorus circuit on the Boss PlayBus HA5 headphone amp is very sweet and wide due to its stereo configuration. It has two sliders: Depth and Rate. It has a stereo CE2 sound at lower settings, a rotary/Leslie quality at around max, with a few unique sounds of its own. I used it for tracking ideas to the recording desk via the headphone jack adapted to RCA stereo into the recorder, in the same way I used the "Rockman II B" in its "Rockmount" to double track rhythm and arpeggiated parts for pseudo 12 string effects. The HA5 also has a 30 ms slapback/doubling delay, and a very good Overdrive circuit. It can sound like "The Ocean" by Led Zeppelin.

It also adds a slight volume boost so you can piss off the sound man. I find when I play live I leave this pedal on 90% of the time. Sounds great with distortion.

I love the 4 setting on the Chorus, especially with the 2 and 4 on. I think of this as the Prince of Pedals. I love the fact the Dimension has a bit more subtlety. And I kind of appreciate it as much or more for the fact it can bring a mono sound to life in a stereo field, but still keep the character of the original in the center. It's nice on a send, when you can control how subtle that effect is. Love it on my mono Moog Grandmother. And sounds good on background vocals too.

Warpaint is a great current band that I can highly recommend checking out. Their beautiful guitar lines are often modulated (two guitar players) with flavors of chorus and vibrato amount other tasteful effects. Those lady’s lay down some serious groves with each instrument (drums, bass, and two guitars) bringing an important component to their songs. The first time I heard them the vocal lines struck me as being brave and ambitious to sing live. Holy cow they manage to pull them off remarkably well. Hope to catch them playing live in CA this year!

Dimension C really grabbed me. The Guyatone and the Boss CE-1 also sounded great but the Dimension C just sounds exactly like that era of music. I might have to get all three in that order, or your pedal which sounds like it does the job well. As for bands done that sound now: Be Forest from Italy uses it tastefully in a brit-pop/dream pop/shoegazer way. I like them a lot but mostly they just remind me how much I love Lush

In stereo with two amps it’s the best by far. Really great stereo separation. For a single amp get the ce2w.

I got a WH-1 Whammy when I was 16, brand new - traded it for a Nady wireless. I'm so happy to see you added this in cuz I swear, it was my favorite chorus ever. What a killer video! Shallow setting of course, but with the foot pedal, you could kinda get your rate along with the BPM of the tune more easily and on the fly with a band = that's perhaps an overlooked aspect of Chorus effects = the tactile reaction of an expression pedal for that effect. Who says a Chorus has to be a small square box, know what I mean? How about a design like the WH-1, but slim it down to just the width of the expression pedal itself and it's stuffed full of Emperor guts. Your mention of Arion makes me wonder if you have a Delay/Echo video like this cuz their Echo pedal back in the day had a very good and unique circuit in it that did the reverse-feedback effect REALLY well - dunno what kind of circuit or whatnot, but Arion pedals were unique. I'm gonna check n see if you have a Delay video :D

Sorry if this has been mentioned already, but the Zoom Choir 5050 is so good. All the chorus modes are excellent, and there's even a totally decent digital delay. The Chorus-Reverb setting is my favorite, I leave it on all the time for a subtle but beautiful 80s-style sheen. It's super underrated and in a different league than basically everything else Zoom ever released.

@joukotuhkanen 3 года назад

I have always been a fan of Boss choruses, but closest to my heart has always been the Boss Digital Dimension DC-3. It's the most natural sounding chorus effect pedal I've ever used, and it was love at first sight when I tested it at the end of 80´s. It's still my main chorus unit after these years, and it will remain in my pedal board althought other pedals will change. It gives a very wide three- dimensional sound used in stereo with 2 amplifiers, but it's wonderful even in mono, without fluttering and vibrato. It was in production a very short time at the 80´s, and it's quite a rare chorus unit in nowtimes. And no, my DC-3 in not for sale...

@ZigbertD 5 лет назад

I've been unable to remember for the life of me what chorus pedal I had in the 80's. I was still in high school, so it was 1983 at the latest. My assumption was always that it was a CE-2, because I remember that powder blue color and it's what everybody had. But my memory is that it was stereo out and had a delay time knob. The more I've thought about it the more I'm convinced this was the case. I can epsecially remember turning the delay time up and the rate and depth way down and getting a fat doubling sound that was great on overdriven tones. So after spending some time poking around online, the best candidate I can come up with is the DOD 565-A. It's powder blue, has stereo outs and a delay time control, and I think it was released in 1981. Plus I'm certain that my music store only carried MXR, EH, DOD and Boss pedals. I know it wasn't MXR or EH, and the more I think about it the more I think I didn't want anything Boss. I think I thought the name sounded cheesy. Stupid reason to not want a chorus pedal, but hey I was 17. Anyway, I have no Idea what happened to it. It was one of only three pedals I had back then, along with an MXR Distortion+ and an EH Electric Mistress. No Boss : )

You have no ides how thankful I am that you covered Ibanez's bi-mod chorus. I picked it up years ago because it is a pedal that Korn used/uses . I have been trying to figure out undoubtedly exactly what it does. Others and I have had our guesses and assumptions but, Ive mever known for sure what is going on inside the pedal. So, know I know. Its two identical cs9 circuits operating separately but, together. You are very much appreciated. Your vids are invaluable.

@yobhsiFehT 5 лет назад

The Small Clone is, without a doubt, my favorite chorus pedal. I've actually played most of the other "food groups" in this category, and I always come back to Small Clones. I have a rehoused one with a depth knob (so, yeah, more resistance, but SUCH a great balance of simplicity and versatility). While that one's been at the doctor, I've been using another *GEM* of a chorus pedal, the Maxon CS-550! Fun fact: I, too, came out in '85 ;) :P lol

Dude! I’m so happy you had the SCH-1!!! I was afraid when you said you’d leave some out this was gonna be one of them. (Silly story) I found 3 of these in my basement (I was pretty young taking lessons, 6, and my mom would buy me little stuff every month the teacher gave me a good report- one had the original box and $35 tag!!) And sold the boxed ones on reverb eventually ($200, $150!!!) and was astounded at the price paid. I need to dig the other up to play with. It never lived on a board because i didn’t trust a plastic one after many a soundtank breaks....

For amazing chorus effect on bass : The Omnific. Other than that I would recommend This Wind Brought Fire (Chorus on guitar and bass) and Beyond Horizon (Luscious chorus ever on synth). And as always you are the best on explaining pedals and electronics.

Wow, that DOD sounds exactly like Spellbound by Siouxsie live (with Robert Smith on guitar). Bang on. And on a Robert Smith tangent, on the Bloodflowers album and tour Bob took the chorus off his pedalboard - he taped one to the top of his Ampeg combo or used the built in chorus in his Line 6 Flextone. Oh, and my favourite chorus is the first one I ever got, an old, secondhand, beaten to hell CE-2. I always felt I was unsophisticated and one day, some years later, bought a CE-5. Only then did I realise I was perfectly fine with the CE-2 which is much nicer to my ears. The only thing faster than the speed of light is the speed of self doubt!

I own a Small Clone, Polychorus, and a DOD FX60 and the FX60 has been the only one consistently on my board for my chorus. I love that pedal so much, i think it sounds quite close to the FX65 really, but there is something about it, It's so smooth and almost vibrato-sounding on the faster settings. Its a beautiful pedal and one of my favorites. I don't think there is anything amateurish about it.
