Chorus pedal that sounds good with distortion for No More Tears/metal/hard rock etc

Bit of an oxymoron...chorus for hard rock...but that's what I'm looking for. Something that sounds great for 80s hair rock/metal too.

Hard to find a good chorus that sounds great with heavy high gain saturation. 

Preferably, I'm looking for something small, but not limited to that, should needs must.

Surely the Zak wylde one?

Boss DC2. 

Lotta money for a DC 2 waza but there are Behringer and TC alikes and the TC Corona has a DC style toneprint. 

Certainly Gary Moore's modulation of choice during his heavy metal years and that or the Roland rack version on loads of recordings in the 80s.

I use the MXR analog chorus, which is supposedly exactly the same as the Zak Wlyde one but without the bullseye artwork. It’s brilliant.

This is the one I want, but people saying that it's rubbish with gain and so much better with cleans. I'll have to try one to find out, I guess.

Awesome, that was going to be my very next question. Thank you! That could be the one!

Yamaha SPX90 chorus for the original, not a Tri-Stereo...

Not a lot of help if you're after a pedal, but thought you might find it interesting

The Deep Oggin. Works well with distortion....

He uses distortion at various points on this, FF to 5:00 to hear him doing Guns and Roses. It’s more of a sparkle and less swirly than a traditional chorus but it’s very much of the period.

MXR micro chorus for simplicity or EQD Sea Machine for more complex sounds and tweakability, I have both although I don't really use them much they still serve a purpose now and then.

Mxr chorus is good for heavier stuff, and the boss ce-3 is really sparkly and 80s sounding.

Zoom MS-70 CDR - there's a whole range of chorus, pitch models which get you into 80s territory
