MGR/Billy « Fender Starcaster Chorus »
Published on 04/18/11 at 15:00This is the hideous puke green Starcaster Chorus pedal put out by Fender. The Starcaster is Fender's super cheap line that is mass produced and sent all over to places like Best Buy, Target and some music stores.
This pedal by fluke does a cool dirty, low-fi chorus sound.
Best Buy was blowing these out for $10. They are still made, but most places have then for $40, Sam Ash did recently have these on sale. I lucked out and got one for $10.
It does the dirty chorus well. By dirty chorus, I'm talking that Nirvana Come As You Are tone where you think the whole guitar rig might blow up, but it sounds good for now.
It is a cheap pedal, thus it sucks tone and I really don't think I could count on it, so it sort of sits in my studio as an exotic option.
Sleezy. You never know if or when it will crap out on you or give you that magical tone. This pedal I believe classifies itself as an analog pedal. The pitch can warble, I can even get a little bit of an Andy Summers tone out of it.
It's cheap, it's a gamble. If you are looking to add a clean and reliable chorus pedal to your gigging pedalboard look elsewhere. If you are an effects geek or just like to experiment with noisy pedals, this has your name written all over it!
