Made by Maxon, I think it is pretty much a CS9 circuit (not stereo though) and a FL9 circuit in one box. Flanging is smooth, warm and not overpowering and the chorus is lovely - warm and not too trebly as I find some choruses. Worth a look if you can find one. It also has a switch that allows you to turn the chorus or flanger on with the footswitch or between, you can also use an external footswitch to turn the pedal on or off and use the internal footswitch to switch between modes.

I practically never turn mine off when I'm playing clean. The chorus side is just so good, sometimes I wish the flanger half was a little more pronounced... not up to jet plane levels of flanging but just a little more in your face. It does verge on self oscillation if I crank the feedback though, which can be kind of cool.

It's a bit of a maligned pedal these days is the humble chorus... Some just don't get the appeal of it's dark warbly goodness

I really love my Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus (the true bypass one, not the big 18 volt one). It's really lush and can be sparkly and bright or dark and subdued, I love it.

The PolyChorus because of the peace it has brought to the middle east over the past 15 years.

Also very fond of my Ibanez 10 series Modulation Delay II, which can properly melt your guitar sound (repeats both slow and pitch down until they're just a sickening groan).

that's what I currently have on my pedal board as my old maxx chorus has been retired to the studio for fear of loosing it.

I don't have mine anymore, but I wish I hadn't sold it - it sounded really good.

Chorus - Boss CE-2B. Warmer than the CE-2 and cheap with it.

Vibrato - the vibrato on the DMM is awesome. Boss CE-3 is surprisingly good. Currently having a lot of gearlust for the Chase Bliss Audio Warped Vinyl. So pricey but so enticing...

Trem - EA tremolo all the way.
