Washburn Lyon Chorus

Submitted by Jon from Huntsville, AL (500 points) on Jun 18, 2007
I'm not sure if it's just my unit, or if they are all this way, but my unit turns on but then I don't get any chorus effect, just the clean signal... After about 10-15 minutes of it being on.... it will make a noise and the chorus effect will come in... sometimes it works as soon as I plug in a cable, but it's kind of a shot in the dark most of the time... All of that aside, the effect isn't that bad... It is (obviously) very digital sounding and it does kind of sucks tone from just about anything, including internal feedbacking loops with other pedals... It's well built though... It's all metal, smaller than most Boss pedals, very simple to use, and even though it is "sterile" sounding (could be good or bad depending on what you want), it's an over-all good sounding effect... If you buy it, get it as cheaply as possible. (I have seen them much cheaper than online)
Good Points: "It's a tank", small in size, over-all good sound, has some decent bends if you look hard enough.
Bad Points: effect takes forever to kick in (possibly just a defect in my unit.), sounds very digital, kind of sucks tone (if you're worried about that), there isn't much info to be found about these... you probably can't get much help/tech support with this effect as it's a mass-produced "sell it and run" kind of item...
