While I haven't been a fan of other chorus pedals in noise contexts, I really enjoyed this one in the middle of a small feedback loop. It added a very controllable murkiness to things and worked very well with the Boss Metal Zone. No tinny sounds from this pedal.
Good Points: -Murky in a feedback loop. -Simple, effective controls. -Not tinny.
Bad Points: -No longer made.
Price Paid: US$0.00

Chorus pedals arn't that good for noise. This does thicken the sound quite well and it adds a bit of boost to the signal, so you get a hotter signal. But it still gets lost behind distortion. Still quite subtle.
Good Points: Thickener + slight boost.
Bad Points: Not that useful.

I didn't think that this pedal would be very good for noise, but I was pleasantly surprised with the results I got with this. It's a great all purpose signal thickener with the rate knob set low and the depth knob set high. Works especially well when used in conjunction with a couple of other modulation type effects (all set at different rates, natch'). Can breathe a little life into a static track. As an added bonus, there are so many of these damn things out there that they tend to be cheap as hell. The only improvement I could think of for this pedal would be stereo outs.
Good Points: Cheap. Good to thicken things up a bit. Works well when used with other modulation effects.
Bad Points: Can be a bit subtle for noise. Mono.

Good pedal if you're looking for a basic chorus pedal but if you already own a multi fx processor, this pedal is not necessary. Adds some depth to your sound. Good for clean sounds but not that necessary for making noise :-) The newer Boss Chorus would be more powerful for sound creation.
Good Points: Strong build like all Boss pedals. Runs on battery or mains power. Simple to use.
Bad Points: Not an extreme chorus by any standards.
