Best Acoustic-Friendly Chorus Pedal?

Vanderwall · #1 07-31-2008, 07:32 PM

This question is posed for those of you who are into pedals. I have a small pedal board that currently has three pedals - a Boss tuner, a Holy Grail reverb and, tremelo. I am interested in adding a chorus pedal. I do not need a ton of features but just awesome chorus. Any Suggestions?

Fishman AFX chorus is made for acoustics. Kind of expensive though.

that's a bit ambiguous. Boss has made a number of chorus pedals over the years. The CE-2 (mono), CE-3 (stereo), CE-5 (stereo) and CH-1 (stereo) are the most common compact single pedal units. The CE-5 (chorus ensemble) and CH-1 (Super chorus) are still being made. The primary difference is that the CH-1 has a single EQ knob and the CE-5 has a stacked knob for seperate treble and bass filtering. for example you could apply more chorus to the treble than the bass. Personally that's the biggest reason I chose the CE-5 for my own board... I don't like much chorus on my bass notes because I think it sounds muddy.

I like the Boss CE-5.

I have the Boss CE-20 on my acoustic pedal board. It's digital but it gives the chorus 'simulations' of every Boss pedal from the CE-1 to current. It also has an acoustic mode that is very nice. There are four programmable locations to save favorite settings so you can have multiple chorus' accessable by foot switch. The pedal is a bit big but fits the bill perfect for me...

any Chorus pedal would work, IMO, but I guess since Fishman specializes in acoustic/electric gear, I suppose their AFX Chorus is what most would recommend....

I've used the Boss CH-1 for years. Works fine for as little as I use chorus effect.

The EQ is sweepable between bass and treble and you can add as little or as much effect into your tone as you want with the effect level control.
