    Edit: Need to clarify that i'm not having a moan, just thought it should be known.
    When Lee was turning the JHS knobs and NOTHING changed, that was because it was actually in loop four, not three! And it was in vibrato mode!!!!!!!! Sucks bc i own and love the JHS chorus and I want others to love it too. Dropped the ball on this one, guys :( Still good to hear them all, if not in the order you intended haha

      CE2 waza is $350 in Oz. Vintage CE2 is around $500. Since '84 ive never had ANY pedal break down on me ...boss HM2, Ross Distortion, Some Flanger/Feedbacker thing, George Denis Wah, Zoom G2, Dunlop Crybaby Wah, Joyo American Sound, NU>X Plexi Crunch, Boss SD1, Boss GE7.
      ...currently wondering if my ZoomG2 does a warm chorus equal in nice-ness to the CE2w? I avoid the Zoom a bit coz its overly complex (this is why i liked the CE2 original 2 dials only (simplicity), but if i find the time to set the parameters on the chorus options on the Zoom, then i can just store it on a bank, and its set it n forget it.

    On the JHS 3 Chorus you guys had the vibrato setting on the whole time. The toggle switch in the up position is from vibrato, and down is chorus. That's why Pete thought it sounded weird. FYI.

    • @iceman10129
      @iceman10129 3 роки тому +62

      Thats JHS's fault. Don't have a switch that is blank in the up position and "vibe" in the down position. On a chorus pedal, blank should be chorus. More so dont name a setting the name of a completely different type of effect. So regardless of them getting it wrong, JHS got it wrong when they made the casing.

    I love this series and think it's such a good way to compare pedals, but also mistakes like that kind of undermines the whole point--maybe now someone won't buy a Small Clone because of how it "sounds" here, even though they are actually listening to a JHS chorus in vibrato mode.

      Yeah it’s really strange that this experienced professional pedal tester didn’t notice that. I noticed immediately that it didn’t sound like a Small Clone at all, and he even twisted the knobs without the sound changing. Like how? Either he was half asleep or his ears aren’t very good.

  • @Yupppi
    @Yupppi 3 роки тому +3

    This one really solidified my choice for Angel Wing as the emphasis on effect chorus. So cheap but so lush and juicy. My other all around choice (in my rig) that is good for doubling and leads was Boss CH-1. The Boss Waza was classic boss in this one as well, they are just so in tune that you get the effect and it's enough but not too much and it just sounds nice in every setting.
    Strymon has that studio quality thing where it'd be great background effect chorus. It sounds very much like chorus but sits a bit back with your clean signal right there. Small clone was very different, almost crazy, but it had a thing going on. Very unique effect so I'd say worth it as well.
    Some of them on the other hand felt like they barely had chorus even when there was a lot of it and the clean signal was just pushing forward, which I didn't like. It wasn't a good background chorus effect and it wasn't a good effect for effect either. The Behringer was entirely unimpressive. Very underwhelmed when it was turned on. Julia almost begged the question of is there an effect as well. It was noticeable that it was on, but it didn't cause any reaction. Surprised to hear that when I've noticed it being mighty popular. Probably what Pete said, you tweak it to different things beyond just chorus.

    Sound-wise, most Behringer pedals are actually pretty good (most being effectively circuitry-clones of older pedals, usually BOSS ones) - it's the build quality you have to watch out for. The UC-200 in particular is basically a BOSS CH-1 Super Chorus in a plastic box.

    • @UCS0608

      And I actually don't think they are as fragile as many people seem to think. I have a nice board with some expensive pedals, a Tone City tremolo (sounds great and has a volumeknob, wich is really nice!!) and this Behringer chorus that I really like. I know the video that Josh made about Behringer and he's right! Well, he usually is!! 😉

    GREAT REVIEW GUYS !!! No surprises there..Boss set the bar for stompboxes...I love their chorus. Reminds me of my old Jazz Chorus 60. Killer! All controversy aside, Behringer make some righteous pedals for not too much money. The plastic case isn't a deal-breaker really for me, I had an old MXR phaser housed in a crappy plastic enclosure and that thing stood shoulder to shoulder with Boss and others in their Zamac enclosures for ruggedness.

    It would be really cable intensive but it would make SO MUCH MORE SENSE for Pete to have control of the quartermaster and Lee to control the pedal controls... Then Pete can switch back and forth to compare at will (obviously still going through each one individually to start with) and then he can more easily know which pedal needs tweaking a certain way. At the moment there seems to be a lot of confusion which pedal is active or getting tweaked

    These are fun videos. I hope none of the pedal makers get offended as it all depends on the context - which guitar, amp and what Pete is listening for. I personally thought the Walrus pedal was the best and I really like the EHX though it was more of a Vibrato with not much direct sound getting through, probably what the original it's based on was like.

      Had it and loved it for a couple of years, but after rebuilding my board, I noticed some tone suck. Did some troubleshooting and discovered it was the Analog Chorus causing the issue. Did some research and found that many people had the same issue with it. Super unfortunate because I agree with your comment, but it really darkens the tone, even when disengaged.

      As some commented earlier, MXR is a great sounding chorus when ON but it does suck tone when OFF, at least mine did. Got rid of it eventually. If MXR did a better job with bypassing this thing when OFF it would be a serious all-time contender for top 3, IMHO.
