Best cheap chorus pedal?

[birv2]

I use chorus very infrequently and only as an added "spice" in a few songs, so I'm not interested in spending a lot. Can anyone recommend something?

I actually currently have the older Dano Cool Cat chorus (not the new series), and while it sounds good, it's just too big for my taste. If you've got a comparable smaller one, I'd be willing to work out a swap.

As you can see from my sig, I'm not afraid of cheaper stuff (Dano, Arion, etc). But I'd like to get something that sounds decent.

Any suggestions?

Maybe too big, but check out the DOD FX65. I believe it uses the same chip set as the highly regarded Boss CE-2, but unlike the Boss, the DOD can be run in stereo. You can pick up the DOD for about $20-$30 if you look hard enough.

I bought a Digitech Chorus Factory when GC was blowing them out. At $40, I couldn't resist. I'd give a look at the new Danelectro Cool Cat. By "big" do you mean sounding or big as in physical dimensions?

I mean physical dimensions. It's huge, and that plus the jacks on the front make it unwieldy.

mrmudcat -- I was thinking swapping my Cool Cat Chorus for a smaller chorus. Are you interested?

Any Boss CE pedal will do it. Loads available used.

That is what I was going to suggest. I got my CE-5 for 40 or 50 used I think.

I recently picked up a Boss CH-1 Super Chorus and I like it very much.

I find that the Behringer pedals are surprisingly good. If they had sturdier cases
they'd be right up there IMHO.

Has anyone here used a Dano DC-1 Chorus? Can not find one local and I want simple but effective. Had no luck searching youtube.

I've used one (actually have one for sale, so if you're interested, PM me). I thought it sounded good, but I went to a Boss one because of limited pedal board space.

I have one of these. It's a wee little thing, and as you say, save for the slightly off putting plastic case it does it's job without a complaint from me.

I was going to suggest this too. They cover a lot of ground for cheap. Especially used.
