I own a TC Electronics model . It was the one that Mark Egan was using at the time that I took a few clincs with him in the early 1990's.I have heard several others and really like the TC best. It is a chorus , flanger, and pitch modulator. it is a good sounding unit but you can ruin any effect such as this if not used tastefully! I actually do not use it that much but it is there for me if i need it. | ||

i have the Boss CEB-3 and love it!!!!!! it only took me about 5 minutes to find a sound that i was in love wiht(granted the unlimited possibilities) i'm not sure about any other pedal companys, but i only buy Boss compact pedals(Zoom POD, and a Dunlop Crybaby Bass Wah are the only things on my board that aren't Boss, extremely reliable and great quality(it's believed that Boss's customer support is a mere myth as no one has ever needed to contact them) hope that helped ~Taylor Watterson | ||

I like different things about different pedals. Many of them color up your tone a bit too much. I use the EBS mostly these days. You can go inside it and tweek the tone. I 2nd about the CEB-3 as well. I dig the EBS for it's transparency. Sometimes that's a bad thing for some situations. | ||

+1 for the TC Electronic Stereo Chorus Flange. I have tried the EBS and Roland units. The TC has a more liquid quality. | ||

I have two TC Electronic Chorus Flange pedals, but I truly prefer the Scholz Rockman Chorus circuit. Still The TC's are great in the field for those who do not want to use the half rack space Rockman products. | ||

I use an early 80's MXR Stereo Chorus. It is a little dated but works well for me. An added plus is it doesn't use batteries but plugs straight into the wall. Keith | ||

For years I wanted the TC pedal. The one thing holding me back. It requires AC. Which is no big deal in a pedalboard, but nothing I can throw in my bag and just put in my signal path. Let us know what you decide on! | ||

Hello Friends , I've tried the EBS chorus which sounds really nice ! On the other hand , it was impossible to give a try to the TC one just because the stores i called didn't have it !!! ( only on order ) ...too bad !!! I looked on the TC website and other reviews and in fact , most of the musicians who are using this pedal are Guitar players , not bassists... will it really work that good for a bass ? Thank's !

I use the Boss MB 50B bass effects unit(which I have just bought) The chorus is really subtle BUT it is multi efects and you only require a single effect so I agree with Tmoney, get the Boss one as it is the same one in the MB50 I use and it will be specifically for bass. | ||

Another Vote for the EBS multichorus from me. I've never used any other chorus pedals so can't comment on any differences but the EBS gives me exactly what I want and is very easy to adjust so i'll not be changing any time soon. Graeme | ||

(Sigh) I use my good ole' 1973 MU-TRON Phasor. I bought it brand new back then. Sometimes I'll hook up my 1972 MU-TRON up to the Phasor too! I bought that brand new too because of Herbie Hancock's tune "Camelion" (sp) | ||

I love the Mutron phaser II's (the ones with three colors on the face). I hear that the Mutron phaser I wasn't optical. I have an EH stereo polyphase that is great for guitar, I'll have to try it with the bass today (and report back). It has some functions that I like; having the sweep triggered with note attack, and being able to specify where the sweep starts and stops. I'll also have to try my Maestro PS-1 on bass (and report back).The Maestro has the ramping function that smoothly changes the speed when it is changed , reacting similar to the way a leslie motor does. That's the one that Page uses on 'No Quarter' in fast mode. | ||

Think about Taurus Vechoor. It's absolutely great. No colorize, 2 effects on board, fantastic rich sound. Taurus effects win Bass Gear Magazine’s Outstanding New Product Line Introduction Award at 2009 Musikmesse. You can read more on www.taurus-amp.pl | ||

How weird, but I've never even tried using a chorus pedal with bass, although I briefly owned a bass chorus pedal(20 years ago,used on guitar) Maybe I need to try chorus again...Tony | ||

i use it all the time it's my number 1 effect i use(followed by distortion with wah, and then flanger), as in my first comment on here, i highly recommend the Boss CEB-3, sounds incredible and it won't break the bank :-D ~Taylor Watterson | ||

I no longer use any form of effects on my basses. I prefer clean sounds. I love the sounds of a bass chorus and I hear so much of it with fretless basses to give that full "enhanced" echo-ee sounds which helps hitting harmonics almost sound everlasting. Fusion Jazz, loves a chorus bass. It's nice, I must admit. I remember a Disco band, "Heat-Wave" push a hit recording called: "Groove-Line" used a very strong chorus bass sound, which I believed really made that song really pop. Chorus sounding basses, makes more sense for fingering styles and not so good for funk riffs in thumbing and popping. Just my opinion... | ||

i agree with Hal, i use my chorus mainly with finger, but also if i'm playing chords with a pick, makes it sound very full and pleasing, throw a little delay in there and then its a party :-p(i have a problem when it comes to mixing pedals together, i try to get the strangest/cool sounds out of them as i can to create something unique :-D) ~Taylor Watterson | ||

I play in a psyche band so there is lots of swirling bass and organ sounds on the regular. On my board I have an EH stereo electric mistress xo (this is the compact reissue version), a modded out ibanez twin cam chorus (tc-10) and carl martin bass chorus. I have found that the trick to getting a full sounding chorus effect through a mono amp is to use a pedal that two layers of modulation built into one box. The electric mistress is what my tech calls a "florus" flanger+chorus, while the other two chorus pedals have wave shapes that oscillate at different speeds so you never get that bad out of tune sound. check out www.pedaleffectspluswarehouse.com or www.pedalgeek.com | ||
