I'm looking for a chorus and delay or perhaps a 2-in-1 pedal with these effects. I'm having a tough time finding one from a well known brand that doesn't cost 50$+. My last resort is one of those Behringer chorus pedals, I hear that pedal and their Noise Reducer pedal are the only two non crappy stompboxes that Behringer makes. Any ideas?

youll need a power amp and a cab to make it work, but its the greatest effects anything ive ever seen. i got mine for around 375$ canadian

Um... no, I use a combo amp, and if I was going to spend that much for an effects processor I'd get a Boss GT-3. I'm not looking for a multi effects pedal, just cheap but nice chorus and delay pedals. Thanks for the suggestion though

You don't realy want a behringer pedal..
unless your just getting for a bit of experimentation, no use for a 100$ pedal that just collects dust most of the time

I was thinking of buying a V amp 2. I was using my friends a while ago and it's pretty good for direct recording.

if youre looking for shit thats not too pricey you could go with boss pedals like the DD3 (digital delay) or one of the boss chorus pedals (CH-1 and CE-5). i think i bought my DD3 for about 40 bucks on ebay.

If I were you, I'd get one of these.

I use one with my 5150 at practice. It's got delay, chorus, OD/Dist (ok sounding, but better suited as a boost), EQ, compressor, and a few others. Awesome sounding unit. It's older, but trust me, it gets the job done for not many pennies.

Hmm... I thought those Boss pedals(which I've already looked into) were higher end stuff. It's a little more than my price range, and on top I don't know if it's something I'd be using a whole lot. Maybe some lesser known brands... Are those Danelectro pedals any good?

Dudes, I'm not looking for a multi effects processor(that one sells for, I don't have that much to spend. If I was going to pick something up for that much I'd definately look into that or a Boss GT-3, but that has more stuff than what I need.

first behringer pedals and v-amps suck...

second... buy a used boss chorus and a used boss delay..

__________________

Look around for some used boss stuff. Great quality and awesome durability.

I was already starting to think that's the best option I have. Which Boss chorus should I get? There's like 6 different ones... Chorus, Super Chorus, CE-1, DC, some other shit too. I've been reading some HC reviews but I still don't know what sets them apart.

And which Delay pedal? I'm guessing a DD-3 but theres also a DD-6 and DD-5.

The less to spend the better. Could each of these pedals be had for 40$?

the dd-3 can give u any delay sound your looking for, i don't know why people buy the dd-5 it's pretty much the same but way more expensive.

same goes for the ch-1, it' can give you pretty much any chorus sound your looking for with some easy tweaking.

i have the ch-1 and the dd-3, those are the only pedals i ever use and i love both of them.As for prices, dd-3 even on ebay can be kinda pricey, around 60+ dollars, i bought mine new for $99 and the ch-1 on ebay is around 40+ dollars. Both will not let you down, great pedals.

Ok I've been checking the samples at the Boss site and I've decided that I'm going to buy only 1 Boss pedal, thing is I don't know if I should get either the Super Chorus(CH-1) or DD-3. I think it's probably going to end up being the DD-3. What I want is more fullness and echo to the sound. The only difference I can tell between the Chorus and Delay pedals is that the Delay pedal just gives you a fuckload more echo, while Chorus just has a more subtle echo effect, right? If I can get awesome lead sounds with a DD3 better than with a Chorus pedal, then I'll just go ahead and nab a DD-3. Does this sound like a good idea considering what I'm looking for? Whatever I can get really cool spacey, big open solo sounds from(ie: Van Halen, Dimebag, Azagthoth...) is what I'm looking for.

The DD also sounds good for rythm guitar, right?

Chorus shouldnt have any echo at all to it.Have a look at the Ibanez tone-loc series pedals.They have a chorus/flanger and a delay/echo.They both sound great,and will cover what you need.

Watch out with the tone-loc pedals. I used to have the sm7 when I first started. Worked fine for about a year and a half, then one night I was playing and tried to activate it and broke the switch. The switches on these are far from dependable. Before it finally bit the dust, I sometimes had to step on it up to 6 or 7 times just to get it to fucking turn on. Once again, be VERY wary with these.


PS- didn't sound half bad though. They'd be a great series of pedals if they just made the switch a little more durable.

So what is chorus exactly? I'm confused now... it doesn't add depth to the sound or anything? Is it used only for clean guitar or does it make distortion sound better?

__________________

Chorus is actually a modulation effect. And a little chorus can spice up your leads. Chuck used to use one in the studio and Zakk Wylde uses one alot as well.

If you are curious about what it sounds like,musicians friend has sound clip's for most of their pedals.

Yeah I've heard them for all the Boss pedals at the site. I saw an old link I had bookmarked for this:
http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/g2/index.php

I'm aware that it's distortion models are shit, but it has a 6 band EQ, chorus, flanger, tremolo, phase, and up to 5000 ms delay and is built quite solidly. There's an average of 8.9 of the reviews at HC and it costs the same as any Boss pedal new... should I grab one of these?

zoom 5008 i think had reverb delay and chorsus, and it also sounds like complete shit, no wait, even worse, but its around 40euros 2nd hand i think i woulnd pay more than 5 euros, cuz its rili shitty

__________________

But that's a different pedal, you can't judge a whole brand's stuff on one low end product.

__________________

im not judging zoom for that pedal, the 508 suck ass ,its also discontinued, but i owned a zoom 707II and that sounded pretty good good delays, good chorus, and not expensice, ive seen em 2nd hand for around 50 euros so

__________________

I don't know, dude. It is your money in the end, but I'd personally just save my money and spend it on something better later. All the zoom pedals I've tried throughout the years have been "ok" at the very best. They all just sound way too digital and over processed to sound good.

If you want something cheap, the korg ax-1500 is a lot better than anything ZOOM that I've tried and isn't much more expensive.

I had a zoom 510 pedal. It was complete, utter shitte

or just save some cash for a rocktron intellifex, theyre not TOO expensive, and sound great imo

__________________

If you considering the Zoom,check out the korg multi-effects.Cheap as fuck for what they are.Id recomend behringer v-amp over any zoom guitar effects product(Shitty design,mostly crap effects).But if you use ebay,
http://search.ebay.com/chorus-pedal_W0QQfromZR40 (chorus)

http://search.ebay.com//search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=delay+pedal(delay)

I know you probally have searched,but these are cheaper and much better than a zoom.

long time to type guys. been duck hunting.

does it matter really with these effects where you put them in the chain? ive noticed chorus is better before the amp, but it really doesnt matter because i used it very subtly. but deay sound better in the chain. well clean it sounds better before the amp but distorted it sounded better in the chain. if you buy it in the same pedal you cant arange for different sound in different parts

imo chorus sounds best after gain, preferably in the fx loop of an amp

__________________

Danelectro Mini-Pedals. I love those things.

Not exactly dependable to stomp on (feel like they'd fall apart easily) but they do have damn good sound. I have the delay and EQ and they work for me..

Then again I know have a cheap-o ART Multiverb III that cost me $75 and has everything i'd ever need, ever.

__________________

I'd like to mention the Alesis Quadraverb, it may be a little more expensive than what you were aiming for, mine was about 50GBP used. But it has such versatility for chorus, delay, and reverb, you can get some really great sounds out of it. Its MIDI controlled too, so thats always useful

Alesis units are great for the price,especially if you can pick one up second hand.
