Very underrated chorus that can compete with the Boss CE2 and TC Electronic SCF. Don't let their cheaper new models run you away. This is a great pedal!
Good Points: - Very inexpensive on the used market

- Very 3-dimensional chorus sound (maybe closer to the old EH Small Clone)

- Cool retro-looking pedal
Bad Points: - Runs on 18V (but may be why it sounds so good)

- Big footprint

- Cheap input/output jacks

- Somewhat heavy
Price Paid: US$20.00
Purchased At: ebay

"Vintage style" chorus. whatever that means. this is pretty much your run of the mill stereo chorus pedal. plug the input to one of the outputs and get a feedback loop. you get weird chirping and swirling oscillation. it's alright otherwise, just gets buried easily. and the fact that it takes 18 volts instead of the standard 9 kind of sucks. You can get a dod stereo chorus for much cheaper, and i'd reccomend that, but this one isnt bad if you can get it for cheap.
Good Points: feedback loop opportunity, really solid construction(really heavy pedal!)
Bad Points: gets buried easily, eats batteries and requires 18v.

My girlfriend bought me this because she thought that it looked "pretty", but thankfully it sounded great. I used it for a stereo spliter between a Mesa Dual Rectifier and a marshall JCM 800, It gave me a huge sound with no hum and no real problems... Until I went on tour with it that is. Even with it's very tough shell I started to get bad connections inside and a couple times the thing died all together. now i have to kick it to work... I oved the sound but it is not built to go on the road...
Good Points: Design, Ease, Sound!
Bad Points: Not durable.
