HardWire Pedals CR-7 Stereo Chorus

The Digitech CR-7 Stereo Chorus is a guitar effects pedal in Digitech's hardwire series of guitar pedals.  This pedal has standard 1/4 inch connections including two outputs and two inputs.  The pedal can be powered by either a 9 volt battery or power supply and isn't rack mountable as it is a stomp box.

UTILIZATION

The make up of the Digitech CR-7 Stereo Chorus is straight ahead and doesn't have anything complicated about it.  It simply has four knobs that control the different parameters including knobs for level, speed, depth, and a knob to choose between seven different modes.  Some of the modes include modern, analog, boutique, vintage, jazz, and a few others.  That is all there is to the CR-7 and for this reason I do not believe that manual is needed.


SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of the Digitech CR-7 Stereo Chorus is definitely better than I expected to be and is actually quite good.  The pedal is not only versatile between of the different modes, but all of the modes are useful in my opinion.  I have used the pedal with a Fender Strat and a '76 Fender Twin Reverb and I'm definitely able to get some pretty realistic sounding effects within this configuration.  While this isn't the most organic sounding chorus pedal I have used, it definitely makes up for this with versatility.


OVERALL OPINION

I only recently got a chance to use the Digitech CR-7 Stereo Chorus pedal and while it isn't my favorite chorus pedal out there, it definitely sounds good and is incredibly versatile.  I'm usually not a big fan of the pedals made by Digitech as they come off too digitally processed sounding for my taste, but this is definitely a step above most of the pedals that I have used that are made by them.  The price is very reasonable as is the case with most Digitech pedals and therefore it is a pedal that I would definitely recommend for anyone on a budget looking to get a good sounding chorus pedal that will give you a variety of tones.

It is a chorus effect pedal, digital technology with true True Hardwire Bypass as its name suggests! 7 different modes.
The connector is a typical pedal Chorus: 2 inputs, 2 outputs for config. Mono, Stereo or plug in another pedal.

UTILIZATION

Use could not be more simple, 4 knobs: Level, Speed, Depth and Mode (7)

SOUND QUALITY

The chorus effect is very successful, whatever the method used. Deeper, "dry" or multiple, different modes cover all my needs. We can get things more clear-cut patterns with a shop or even a vintage vibrato very nice and useful sometimes.
I particularly like the way that sounds terrible Analog with my guitar, the color of his super stuff that sticks to the Red Hot or vintage rock!

OVERALL OPINION

Buy recently but really terribly satisfied. Oh and Hardwire, nickel, here I changed my previous Chrorus who swelled the dynamics and tone of my sound!
A bit expensive but the choices I would do without hesitation.
In short, the super good stuff !!!!!
