Off Topic Which chorus and delay pedals?

[Axilla]

Oh, one more thing Ivan,

don't know whether you know Lukas Truninger / Prostage.
I had him "midify" my Diezel Einstein a while back and he does excellent new looper/switcher drawers to fit 19" racks:

Prostage - Drawer Loop & Switch System XDS

...just in case you should switch to pedals/stomp boxes and want them true-bypassed AND midi-programmable... Coloration when bypassed is not an issue anymore...
Have a look at their site and maybe the online store - it's much less expensive there than in stores...

Cheers mate

Axel

The TC Nova Delay is an awesome and very flexible pedal that would serve all your needs. I also have a Boss RE-20 and MXR Carbon Copy on my board as well as the Nova Delay. (Overkill? Likely....certainly for my purposes it is but I have them just because).

For a chorus, I've always been a fan of the TC Chorus however I had a hard time finding a reasonably priced one on the resale market and the new ones were just too damn expensive. I opted for a Digitech Chorus Factory......and I have to say it is an amazing pedal especially for a Digitech product.

It costs almost as much as TC Nova Delay. Do you think it's as good or maybe better?

So much of this is personal preference. I like the DD-20 better (it does what I need), but others prefer the TC. They're both great pedals and you can't go wrong either way.

The Evantide looks pretty wild too, haven't tried it.

But the price tag is pretty wild too
If it was the only thing I needed to buy, I would consider taking it, but this way it's just too much...

I have the TC Stereo Chorus Flanger. I like it because it doesn't add a lot of noise to the signal path. My Rocktron Tsunami chorus is great for Andy Summers type '80s chorus sounds. I don't have a lot of experience with delays, but I have the TC Nova Delay and I like it a lot.

Another vote here for the DD-20. I've never tried the nova delay though. But You get 5 Delay presets on the DD-20. I'm loving the smooth delay sound. And with a couple of amps you get some nice roomy ping pong delays happening.

Just my 2 cents. (which is approx 0.05 Papua New Guinea kina)

 

[puppyonacid]

Whoops. That is 4 presets plus how you set the pedal as what you see is what you get.

I've got the boss DD-20 and would buy it again if I had to do it over again. Excellent pedal.

Although, I have heard good things about the boss dd-7 and the mxr Carbon copy. I guess it really depends on what your needs are. Do you need several presets? Is there a type of dalay you like best like digital, analog, tape, etc?

People still use racks? That's the dark ages.

I just bought the T.C. Electronic Vintage Delay. It stomps all over the Nova Delay (rightly so, if they charge $399). They don't make it anymore, but a few online retailers sell it. I've tried the Eventide and the Nova Delay, and the Vintage pedal sounds better to my ears.

For chorus I just picked up the Voodoo Labs CE-1 Analog Chorus clone. Its all analog and true bypass, sounds phenomenal.

Bottom line: T.C. VDP!

OK IM GOING TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL. TC NOVA DELAY and BOSS CE-2. hahah but really the CE-2 is the best chorus pedal i have ever owned.

 

[Jonny Dubai]

Chorus is not alowed in my set up!!! For delay I also use the Dgitech Digital delay. Great sound and value.

Several presets would be nice. The thing I definitely need is to be able to fine tune the delay time and that's what I like about Nova Delay. If you listen to the song Cascading Mirrors on my myspace you'll see why. I need to be able to set my delay time to dotted eight notes at 130 bpm (or 346 ms straight) for that song.

I think that's pretty close to what I'm currently leaning into... But as far as I know the CE-2 is not manufactured anymore, right?

no but you can find one on Ebay probably. Im using a boss CE-5 since my CE-2 broke. i like it but is a bit digital but it gets the job done and is a very good chorus and its around 80 dollars US.

Here's a demo that i find gets the point across

Visual Sound H2O is pretty nice...it has chorus and delay in one pedal. I love mine.

 

[ivanmihaljevic]

Thanks for your recommendations, I'll try to try out as much of them as possible and pick what suits me the best!

The time factor is a bit too expensive for me, but TC nova delay is something I could afford... but the thing I noticed instantly is that time factor has a true analog bypass and the TC nova doesn't. So does the bypass on the TC nova change the sound a lot?

not so much that i noticed. playing it live, the colouration was limited. you would notice it should you mic up and record using a few grand's worth of valve mic though.

 

[JMB27]

When I use chorus, I still dig my late 80s Boss CE-2.

As for delay? I've got one of those cheapo Dano pedals ... but barely find time to use it .....

cheers always, eh

The DD-20 will do this as well.

I have a Boss DD-20, gets the job done and looks reliable (TC Nova Delay looks like a toy and the preset changing is a bit wacky to me - you know hold for 2 seconds then tap then sth else bla bla)

I was looking quite a bit to find my new chorus (after my boss ce-5 fried) and found Fulltone Choralflange. Absolutely beautiful pedal, it does nice EVH flange, and nice Leslie sound
