BOSS Ch-1 Stereo Super Chorus

Product Information

Consider adding one to your ‘board if you dig the glassy palette with Crossover functionality. However, it’s not ideal for out-there ‘80s applications or doubling. Want a chorus pedal that is flexible and barely takes up pedalboard space? Consider the Corona Mini, an impressive ultra-compact chorus pedal. Expect simple operation, an inimitable circuit design, and a stunning array of tones. More importantly, it’s light and compact enough to not crowd your pedalboard. Key Features Chorus adds an extra dimension when paired with other pedals. Here are some dynamic suggestions for combining it with different effects.

One of the great things about this pedal is its great chorus circuitry that has a direct lineage from Boss’s first chorus pedal, the legendary Boss CE-1.The features and controls are fairly standard for a chorus pedal - depth and rate control the sound and speed of the chorus whilst E.level is an effects level, acting as a wet / dry mix. The CH-1 also includes an additional function in an EQ knob, which can give give a really strong, bright and shimmery chorus sound, whilst boosting the depth at the same time can create a sound verging on the edge of vibrato! A chorus effect adds a gorgeous richness to your tone, that sounds like it is doubling what you’re playing. If you’ve ever heard a 12-string guitar before, a chorus effect sounds very similar to that. Chorus pedalsdeliver this somewhat synthetic, angelic characterthat works particularly well on clean tones, especially with arpeggiated chord progressions. The Ampeg Liquefier is one of the best bass chorus pedals in this price range for live performances. The build quality and chorus effects are far superior compared to similarly priced options. It may be overkill if you just need a cheap, simple chorus stomp.

There are plenty of options too, with analogue chorus pedals known for providing bold, old-school “vintage” tones while their digital counterparts tend to sound clearer and are more tweakable. There’s a raft of companies that build chorus effects too, with the big-hitters like Boss, Electro-Harmonix and Strymon remaining as popular as ever while the likes of TC Electronic, Tone City and Landlord FX make great affordable chorus pedals. The bass pedal features a dual-chorus circuit that delivers a wide range of modulation. Dual-chorus refers to the stomp’s ability to send a clear signal with two modulated signals instead of one. The CE-5 Chorus Ensemble covers a wide frequency range and features highand low-cut filters. This lets you create any kind of chorus effect from a mild, natural chorus to the clear and penetrating stereo chorus effect popular in contemporary music.

Lastly, you can use the pedal in Mono (dry and wet signals combined) or Stereo mode by routing Output A for the wet signal and Output B for the original sound. That being said, there are more ‘interesting’ options in this price range if you only want mono-operation. Verdict The green stomp comes in a mini pedal size. So, you can only power it with a 9V DC adapter, as is the norm with compact pedals. The CE-1 is the original Boss chorus. In fact, the company’s first ever pedal was the CE-1, which helped to establish their name and begun their journey to become arguably the most recognisable pedal brand today. Released in 1976, the analogue CE-1 circuit derived from the one found in the renowned Jazz Chorus amplifier, produced by Boss’ parent company Roland.

The Ampeg Liquefier is an enviably affordable analog bass chorus pedal by a legendary bass-amp company.

Chorus Ensemble

Classic mode covers single voice chorus effects. Dual mode doubles the voices, and Quad mode is reminiscent of dense ’80s chorus effects with expansive and immersing textures. The Flanger supposedly adds creamy ‘60s and ‘70s overtones, but it pales in comparison to a standalone flanger pedal. There is an occasional hiss factor, but it is not enough to fault an otherwise impressive pedal at this price point. Verdict If you want a straight-up, easy-to-operate and, most of all, great-sounding chorus pedal, look no further than TC Electronic’s Corona. A pared-down (at least in its looks) take on the company’s legendary – and considerably more expensive and involved – Stereo Chorus Flanger unit, the Corona is a compact digital pedal boasting just four knobs – Speed, Depth, FX Level and Tone, as well as stereo and mono ins/outs.
