«  A versatile chorus, but not great »

Published on 05/27/13 at 04:43
Pedal to the classic format Toneprint series, 4 adjustment potentiometers (speed, depth and tone of the chorus, and effect level, knowing that the sound does not go dry in the DSP), a switch to choose between chorus simple, the famous tri-chorus or Toneprint, and the switch to activate the effect.
The inputs / outputs are stereo, supply 9V negative center.
Note the presence of a mini-USB port for firmware updates, or download Toneprint. The cable is provided.
Inside, two switches to activate the buffer or stay true bypass, or to activate the kill dry for parallel loops. All easy to open with his big thumb screws.
In short, a rather complete pedal. Remains the famous footswitch some love and others hate, I must admit that this is not the most pleasant.

UTILIZATION

Corona Chorus is very easy to use. 4 knobs and a toggle, I think it is in the ability of any guitarist!
Owners of smartphones can additionally download TonePrints without using the USB, it's even simpler.
Corona Chorus is placed in the series of my Diezel Hagen loop.

SOUND QUALITY

There was good ... and less good. Both algorithms default I find very even too lifelike, and without much character. The Tri-chorus is a bit more loaded bass, but I think it lacks a real difference between the two. These are two effects that are discrete, it is really no big chorus well now as I like (80's!).
For that, we have the TonePrints, and I highly recommend the Toneprint Dimension C that offers this type of chorus.
In short, without the use of TonePrints, I just stayed on my hunger. This is more of a chorus that is forgotten rather than sound basis. The TonePrints are far from gadgets and save the Corona Chorus in my case.

OVERALL OPINION

This is the fourth pedal Toneprint the series that I buy (Flashback, Polytune, X4 Flashback, Corona), and as his friends, on the whole, it's a good pedal. However, it lacks the character to be a reference, here we have two chorus too down and no real personality to really make an impression.
Nevertheless, one can find that with TonePrints, taking the time to look.
