Finally a chorus pedal demo where I can actually hear what they sound like in a real context and not just someone playing Police riffs are some weird funky stuff. I swear I don't think that 99% of the people doing gear demos on youtube actually play in or go see bands that people actually go out to see besides from county fair or local blue jam scenarios, most the time I'm like "what the hell is this dude playing"

I'm sorry but I must hear Every Breath You Take and Driven To Tears or it is impossible to evaluate a chorus effect :)

I have seen many pedal demos and this by far the best

Love your comparison videos - keep up the good work!

Quickly becoming my favorite demo channel. Love that you focus on the sounds/ music and put your thoughts in the description.

Beautiful presentation on these, Megan. I love the background graphics as well as your playing choices. Thanks!

Excellent demos and excellent choice of demo tunes!

Wow, excellent video. Great visually, great playing suited to demo these effects, and nice it includes your own favourites. First time seeing this channel but impressed and subscribed! Thanks.

Best way ever to showcase their distinctive characters :) thank you!

This is an awesome video. I've watched it many times now just hear you play.

Thanks for taking the time and for the fantastic format so we can actually focus on the differences. DC-2 FTW.

Best chorus comparison ever, thank you so much for this

Couldn't agree more about the Somersault. Its such a lush and gorgeous sounding pedal. Going to have to get my hands on that Mr. Black after this! I have had my eye on it for a while, but this convinced me.

Love the subtleness of the lo-fi junky. The graphics where great - Loved the signal chain diagrams!

Thanks for this video! Sea machine was my favorite!

really like the Small Clone, the CE-5 is very close to the CE-2 & the DC-2W was the most unique, I think. Warped Vinyl was also very nice. This entire video was very well done, from the tones, the selection of pedals & the on-screen routings. Thank you!

What a great demo, and you got very cool riffs

Wow!! Johny Marr(The Smith)'s Some gilrs.

Great comparison and excellent song choice! Love it!

smiths again... love it! amazingly detailed shootout.

Awesome. Excellently produced.

what a beautiful, well made and useful video! Thanks!

Finally a chorus comparison video that isn't Nirvana riffs. I like your channel a lot. I actually started stacking chorus. I use the Chorus on my Roland JC-77 and also a Keeley Seafoam+ pedal.

Wow! You have such a unique style! I love it!

Straight to the point, I like it!

11:01 has convinced me i need all of them. Great comparison!

This is a really great demo, I’ve decided to go for the small clone. Just hope the lack of controls doesn’t bite me in the ass. Thank you!

I can't believe how little known this channel is! Some of the best demos on YT. Great playing, well organized, great production and super relevant comparisons and combinations! If you keep doing this I have no doubt you'll have 10x as many subs soon. thank you!!

The background painting evokes the ferry trip from Oban along the Sound of Mull, passing Duart Castle on it's promontory and with the mountains of Mull beyond.

I have absolutely enjoyed my BOSS CE-2 through the years... what a gr8 Chorus pedal... with on Ovation its wicked

Wonderful everything. Easy subscription. Thanks for sharing!

I think 6-7 simultanous choruses is the sweet spot.

Great playing and video by the way.

this is awesome , saw this vid on reddit i think. loved the smiths riff

When I hear chorus, I think the Police are coming.

Excelent work!

Great, I agree with the EHX small stone, one missing on the list is the Ibanez CS5, which is excellent. Love the BD-2 great drive pedal.

Excellent video thanks for the comparison, still after the dimension c though the somersault is tempting.

4yrs late to the party, but thank you for such a thorough shootout! Chorus can be a very subtle effect and this shows the nuances of each pedal really well. Currently using a Walrus Audio Julia, but the Dimension C or Warped Vinyl might knock it off my board now.

Just came across this - great vid comparison, thanks for taking the time! I'm a bit old school - I got a Roland Dimension D in 1980 and it has remained in my studio ever since. I tried the Boss Dimension C pedal and it's a pretty good approximation, worth considering, for sure. Thru the 80s I (over)used the CE 2 and nowadays I can't really imagine going to that 'glassy' extreme. anymore - it's a bit of a cliché, like Simmons drums from that era. The 2 pedals that I use are the MXR Analog Chorus, which is understated and can be dialled in as an enhancement without yelling CHORUS at everyone - it's sort 'felt but not heard' but when you switch it off you miss the subtle movement it gives open arpeggiated chordal stuff. The other one was an accidental discovery - I bought the Strymon Deco because the Tape Saturation & Double Track FX appealed for DI guitar in the studio on some tracks but I found if you widen the gap on the Double Track side it delivers a very realistic 2 Tape Machine style chorus - natural and 'organic'. Anyway, thanks again, cheers!

The dimension C and the Somersault seemed the most unique.

Thank you for the vid.

Came here thinking I'd be all over the Somersault or the Sea Machine, but honestly the Dimension-C and June 60 stood out for depth of sound and overall appeal, in this video. I love it when my preconceptions are up-ended!

The boss chorus ensemble regularly sells for like 30 dollars and I have to say that might be the best value of any guitar pedal.

Of course it is a Jag. Somewhere, Mr Marr is walking on water and waving. Great demo!

Love ur review im subscribing

Opening with Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others is quite endearing. CE-2 still the Daddy. DC-2w disappointing, happy I sold it. TC's both nice, so was the Mr. Black. Good demo, thx a lot!

Really helpful - thanks for doing this!

This video made me realise that I actually don't like my 3rd Dimension pedal, at all. Will definitely go for the Dimension C instead. Awesome video!

Great playing! Great comparison. My fav was off course super expensive, dammit! : )

chorus pedal demo with a smiths song! heck yeah!

cool art / video style :)

Brilliant! Best chorus shootout on YouToob! “Some Girls are Bigger than others”....?

Best chorus pedal is the F.T.T. Tri Avatar. It is the: Alex Lifeson Sound and also gets into Mike Landau territory. I also own (and like) the DC-2W. Also: Four other killer chorus pedals: the Analogman Bi-Chorus, the Tortuga Martini, the Shiva Little Wave & Jam pedals Waterfall. Great and fair comparison.

Small Clone is still a killer all rounder.

Nice riff

Mr black took me by surprise

Props to demoing chorus pedals with smiths riffs. That’s how it’s done. Johnny Marr used a ce-2 or the chorus from his jc120.. I use the dc-2w, ce-2w, jc40, and my old EHX small clone that I bought 8 years ago. Of all of those listed I like my ce-2w and dc-2w most.

11:01 haha everyone needs a good “Undeca-chorus” sound!

Warped Vinyl and the CE-2 sounded lush and more Smiths like to me, Thank God for Johnny Marr

Great demo of pedals. Nice painting at start, looks like Portree on Skye with Duart Castle from Mull and Calmac ferry ? All best, Mark ( Scotland )

What a beautiful little tune! Absolutely LOVE it! After selling my sea machine a while back ive come to realize i need a chorus in my life lol. To my ear it sounds as if some of those cut lowend a bit. I want to find the smoothest, most velvety one i can that keeps lowend and your tone intact. Anyway, great vid!

Fantastic video and some great riffage too. I'd have to go with either the EHX Small Clone for some Kurtness or the Caroline Guitar Company Somersault. I'm trying to find a replacement for a Boss CH-1 clone which really isn't that nice.

Thanks bud.

I am a proud owner of a Japanese CE2, which I find suitable for any situation.

Also great video, and excellent musical choice

the warped vinyl sounds exactly like my boss super chorus

Moral of this vid; choose your flavor/color. They're all great pedals, and just depends on your style, tastes, preferences. Not a bad product among these featured here.

1. Boss CE2 : Deep, fat & classic legendary chorus tone (CE-5 is really close to be honest, the top-end is a bit different I would say) 2. Small Clone : Typical 80's with a lushier and richer tone (seems a bit less midrangy) 3. Dimension C : For its unique vibe, more washy/shimmery The Sommersault / Warped vinyl / Lofi Junky are cool but really different animals, packed with many more features and much more unique sounding capabilities.

Listening and thinking I like the warped vinyl one... ah it's made by chase bliss. Makes sense, also I've been priced out for the foreseeable future

June-60 sounds even more lush in real life in case anyone wants one. It's worth it. :) BTW AWESOME PLAYING!!! Keep making videos like this. Helped me pick the June 60 over a handful of other chorus pedals. I have the June-60, Chorus Orchestra, and the built-in chorus modes on my amps. Try choruses in sequnetial stages based on rate and depth: makes things more wave-y!

Thanks for Lovesong

Probably the 6th time I'm watching this

june-60 best chorus

No Malekko Thicken??? For real though, great shootout. Makes me reconsider my stance on chorus. If ever you get the chance, hit the shallow water, too! The DCw and somersault were pleasant surprises compared to the others.
