«  VERY particular Chorus »

Published on 12/14/13 at 01:41
Chorus / vibrato with conventional power supply or 9V battery, one input and two outputs (dry and wet)

UTILIZATION

4 knobs (level, depth, voice, rate) corresponding to the level of the chorus, the depth, the voice apparently equivalent to the chorus type (it rotates and changes shape, a flangerien thing to a pure fufu smallclone chorus type) and the spleen, speed shall we say.
After there is a switch chorus / vibrato and a dark / bright.
Also inside there is a Bitonio to adjust, apparently, the output volume.

In short there is plenty to do.

SOUND QUALITY

You can adjust the definition of the chorus with the Voice knob. 7 to 11 am on will be something close to a slight flange, turn right over the type will be more extreme.
I admit that the switch bright / dark does not convince me really as I see little difference.
Knobs just right, the earthquake organic land, you can play with the rate for a chorus seasickness that detune (for my part I love and that's why I took this pedal) . Still playing with the buttons, you can approach a ce3/ce5 boss and even small clone, or the versatility of the chorus.
When choosing the vibrato switch, it goes from discreet radical (like the chorus), but the most obvious and Detune is putting a rate around "midi" with delay and reverb behind it is the foot In any case for me.
For bright / dark, little difference, except for a more muffled sound (strange matter).
In distortion, chorus / vibrato remains present and effective.

It must be stressed some negatives, and it is rather abused for the price of the beast.
IF you put the voicing bottom, there will be enough this breath.
Depending on the settings, you lose the signal, if you have a musical passage with the chorus, and then you remove the volume difference can be significant and rather annoying ...

OVERALL OPINION

Pedal rather nice level look, size slightly larger than a boss.
I would not say that, despite the possible settings, it is versatile.
Loss of volume, breath when the voice is full, it can be disabling, especially in this price range, this is even abused.
I thought I had the medium / high range, slamming as a fact, on this point I am disappointed.
There is good positive eh anyway!
Personally, I chose to "detune" sound (as in vibrato chorus) when you put a voicing 2h, a rate at 11am and a depth and level to 3h. With a delay behind reverb is gorgeous.
In itself, the effect is rather ok! The problem is the price, not at all justified, still happy I bought it secondhand, Medusa is still more expensive (and more attractive).
The Pentavocal appears attractive also, but this experience will make me think more before buying one (though I scoured all over the net for 2 months for this effect) effect.
So if you want, look for secondhand, and the chorus are very beautiful, the problem is the possible loss of volume and breath generated if the voice is set beyond 2am.
