So do you like chorus, and what's your chorus story?
After a long time in denial I am firmly back in the chorus camp.
Let me explain: like a lot of people I thought chorus was a bit naff and 80s. I had a first gen Danelectro Cool Cat (which was a bit of a Boss CE2 homage pedal so not bad) and I used this for covers, rhythm stuff etc when needed.
Then I ditched the board that was on and avoided chorus for years.
But then I tried a humble Boss Super Chorus last year and liked how it was relatively restrained. I don't use it all the time but it's there to add a bit extra when needed. It blends really well with my Boss flanger.
So do you like chorus or avoid it? And what's your current pedal?

Vibrato Yay
I only tend to like chorus on delays, not on my main signal. I quite liked the sound from the DD20 which I still have, but no longer use due to owning an Axe FX 2 (which I use much the same way).
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
If anything I prefer a digital delay (assuming I want delay on as well) with chorus style modulation as that's a bit less in your face. Again, prefer as in instant time machine rather than loving the sound.
I've never managed to dial in a sound I like, although I'm sure that there must be one in there somewhere!
That was my take, until a friend showed me how to get a sort of 'wide but subtle' sound by having the depth right up and the rate pulled back.
I do tend to leave it that kind of setting.
I then stumbled across Boo Instruments and their chorus. It is simply sublime! Really lush sounding, clear, warm. I only use it very subtly but I'm certainly in the "yes to chorus" camp.
Favourites are the Boss CE-3, Ibanez BCL Bi-Mode Chorus, Behringer CC-300 Space Chorus (a clone of the Boss DC-2) and the Carlsbro Minifex Chorus, which has the SAD512 BBD chip and has a lovely, rich sound.
ou, and I always have chorus on after flanger. There's a lovely interaction between the two that just sounds so good.
I said maybe.....
Got it to do Eagles stuff with.I do like it but in small doses it's not something
I would use everyday.
Bought an ibanez cs9 new in the mid 80's and have rarely done a gig since then without some form of chorus.
These days I mostly I go for a very slow rate and varied depth to make the guitar sound bigger or use a dimension c and if I want something more warbley I've moved towards using a trem or rotary sound.
I'm a Yay for Chorus, despite how camp that sounds !
Then again, i'm into music where most of the males wore make up....................
