I owned the original full chorus about ten years ago... ended up selling it for $250. They are rare now. The reissue has nothing on the original. It's just one of those sounds you can't quite pinpoint, it's very warm and alive.
@adam79adam79: Actually, vintage EH-4600 FULL CHORUS units do exist. And the most obvious way to tell the difference between those is by the dash (-) separating the words "FULL" and "CHORUS" (on the reissues) as the vintage units don't have it. The LED in the originals was a clear one then changed to a red by 1983 (both 3mm).
Joe Ellis both Full and Mini versions existed when EHX released 'em in the 80's. To tell a vintage unit from a reissue one, you have to look into the LED (3mm, clear or red) and the absence of a dash sign between the words FULL and CHORUS. According to Earnie Bailey (Cobain's guitar tech) he used a full Chorus unit with the Panasonic made RETICON SAD1024A delay chip which is more "watery" sound wise than the vintage unit with the MN3007 chip.
Strato Dude - Unless you can post a link from a reputable source where Earnie Bailey specifically says that Cobain's Small Clone, without a doubt, had the SAD1024 chip in it, then you're full of shit. In the meantime, until you find that link, how about stop perpetuating bad urban legends, misinformation, and hearsay on the internet.
@gavinpavlina Curious what you mean by the rate knob being a different shape (not rounded)? i also have both an original and a reissue, and as you probably noticed the reissue says full chorus, the original says mini chorus
Eliott Cuenin : Hi, the switch is up and the dial should be at 12 o’clock four the original or just below 10 o’clock on the re-issue. A Boss DS1 or DS2 with the tone set to 11 o clock is close. Good luck
I’m learning “Slunecny Hrob” by The Blue effect. The guitarist was awesome, sadly he passed away in 2016. I hope I can do the song justice, it sounds terrible how I play it now.

there is a note off in the way you're playing it
I really want to buy your vintage small clone
The LED on the vintage pedal is 3mm; the reissue has a 5mm LED. Also, the vintage says Mini-Chorus; the reissue says Full-Chorus.

so if someone on ebay is saying a full chorus is vintage are they lying? which one did kurt cobain use? a mini chorus?
Joe Ellis oh sorry i thought you said vintage full chorus units do NOT exist, but yeah do you know if he used full or mini?

Yep the original sounds warmer and rounder. EQ your way to that sound on a reissue with an amp...
really nice dude :)

that guitar is now 2000 bucks. BULLLLLL lol its amazing tho.
playing the king version :)
In my opinion, the vintage one just is better. I have a reissue and it just doesn't get the classical tones.
What's the depht position? High or Down? The sound is perfect on the mini-chorus in my opinion

does your vintage one say mini chorus or full chorus?
Full chorus
Sorry - Mini chorus on the original
Difference = 0
There is a difference, the effect is greater on the reissue and it does sound not as warm.
They are both great but the original is better to my ears.
all the reissues are the same like the original ones stop being naive
there's no difference. it's all the same
Your recording is so bad you can't tell the difference.
