Lately I have been amassing a decent amount of pedals in the past month, and I have decided I would like a nice chorus to add to my collection. I primarily play rock-metal. I know I will find a use for it. Found a terrific deal on one... While I have never heard of it, price cant be beat here at my local store. ROCKTRON Deep Blue Chorus! My question, do most chorus pedals do the same thing? I mean, if I want it for a metal sound, this thing SHOULD do a decent job in comparison to the Black Label Chorus by MXR right? I mean, the Rocktron is $25... so a small fraction for a used guy. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

They are all a "modulation" effect. They "modulate" the signal coming in. You can spend hundreds on a good chorus unit. But then again, you can find great deals as well! If you find one that you like, BUY IT!! The Rocktron is a fine unit Todd QUOTE (gnarkill @ Nov 18 2015, 06:32 PM) I have a quick question about chorus pedals.

Boss, the industry standard - pop, especially from the very late 70s through the 80s. Think everything from Michael Jackson to Spandau Ballet. And, most metal 'clean' tones. The CE-1 is the original and is a lot different than the versions that came after, CE2 and beyond. Electro Harmonix* - Rock and Alt. Rock. Kurt Cobain used an EH 'small clone'. They're grainier/dirtier. TC Electronics - Eric Johnson ... and a lot of other fusion guys. Very clean with a lot of tweakability. MXR - Randy Rhoads and Andy Summers (police era, he also used a Boss CE-1). Thicker and more 'phasey' than most of the others. My guess is that the Rocktron is similar to the Boss.

Almost like a chorus with a delay pedal type thing. I use something similar. The Fuhrman Modulation Delay pedal which also has some echo in addition to chorus. Here is a quick vid with the pedal. Just playing some blues with overdrive so it's not a clean tone.
