I used to use a very mild chorus sound all the time. Haven't in a good while, but I just love what it does for the sound of a clean strat neck pickup.

yes, usually somewhat dirty, as in this vid. Plus, it is my signal splitter for two amps.

I still do... I use a little chorus, a little delay, and a little reverb every time I plug in.

That was nice. I stopped in the middle of swaying back and forth with my Bic Flicker lighter to flash you some man-boobage. Not sure if that was perceptible on your end, but I did enjoy that "Tommy".



And I also find the same application. Although I'm a home hobbyist I just recently picked up another chorus pedal that is well suited for splitting two amps. I went with the EH Electric Mistress. Since it's been here, I've question my sanity for ordering another chorus pedal, but I also though it was one of the cooler ways to split a signal.

You chose a great sounding pedal, IMO!

I hardly used it for years, but I now use it all the time for leads. I have an MXR stereo chorus always on in my loop, and I only turn the loop on for solos. The MXR has some controls that allow me to make the chorus subtle, clear, and fattening to the tone (rather than warbly, trebly, and fake), so it's great for leads.

Yeah thanks, and that's a cool song. I never have taken it any further myself than stroking on the chords to that piece, but it's one of those songs that even when you're playing it in a rudimentary fashion it's just such a sweet sounding progression.

pretty close. They were supposed to be about equal volume. The Vox sounds like it might have been a hair hotter thru the mains though.
