I have the plastic case behringer and it sounds so cool (besides being a dc2 clone, behringer owns tc now so I guess it's the same circuit in a different case) much better than a standard chorus, it's very 80s without being cariogenic
@@BudgetPedalChap- Quick question, I tried connecting tc dimension with an analog preamp pedal and placed it after preamp in signal chain and noticed a Flanger like sound even when engaged and all buttons being off. Not sure what the problem is. Any thoughts?
@@ajayburra6958 the chorusing effect will be more pronounced if you place it after any amplification and dirt stages. Chorus and flange are incredibly similar FX too, so it could potentially be a mixture of a few factors adding up to become an unexpected outcome. Does it produce a similar sound before the preamp?
@@ajayburra6958 it might just be how it is designed to sound. It's not your average chorus, so maybe this setting just crosses the line between chorus and flange. I can't say I noticed it too much myself, but it's possible 👍
I have always been looking for this "something" in choruses, something I soaked up with as a teenager, listening to likes of Bryan Adams or Brian May. I tried many... and they were not IT. Until I found this very pedal and learned about the history of the original gear. Yes, this is it, this is what I associate with "chorus". :) I love this pedal, for me this is truly the ultimate chorus, I do not even look elsewhere.
I sold my waza dimension c pedal because a buddy turned me on to this and it sounds legit better i think. The only downside is it doesnt have stereo but i dont use it that way anyhow. This thing sounds fantastic and for 1/5 of the price. I would say it dounds better thannthe rack mount dimension d too. I dunno what it is, its just slightly brighter and slighter more lush and a hint of phase-ness.
Well Chappie, you just sold one of these for TC. Great review as usual. You have a knack for bringing out the best in a pedal. I didn't know you had a podcast. Is it available anywhere else aside from iTunes? Enjoy your weekend man.
Cheers gent, yeah it is a great sounding unit and having the switches is a godsend as you can always find the setting you like 👍 Yeah, the podcast started before the UA-cam stuff pretty much, we are close to 250 episodes so it's been going a while 🤣🤣🤣 it's on most podcast places, so wherever you listen, it'll be there. Cheers for the kind words and thanks once again for coming back 👍
Interesting... btw, the corona tri chorus is somewhat missing from the scene, it's a bit hard to find one brand new and just the mini versions are available. I love the Tri and having the three knobs to set it for different situations, also having the toneprint to carry some presets is useful when working with cover bands. I find this 3rd Dimension useful but I would miss the speed or intensity knobs, the presets it already has are awesome nonetheless
Yeah I've covered the mini on the channel, but I don't have the big one. The TC tone print range are all fantastic, so versatile. I have a plethora X3 now, so I could possibly cover the tri chorus mode if I demo that 👍
Another great demo Mr BPC, keep up the great content! Bloody love a good chorus pedal, if I didn't already have a WA Julia I'd possibly have ended up with this (of course it had to be purple)!
I had a Dimension C (until my car was broken into). It's been too long to really remember but I'm pretty sure #1 is the only one that sounds familiar here. 2,3 and 4 ond the old Boss got more "The Cure" as you went up, which was fine, I only liked #1, in fact LOVED it. No use for the others (can't stand The Cure or their guitar tones). My original couldn't combine settings the way this and the new Boss can.
@@BudgetPedalChap I have other stuff now I love, and for the price of the new boss I'd expect presets and other things so forget that. This might be cool for nostalgia. Appears to sound really good.
I had one as a permanent fixture on my board… Until I tried a friend’s Boss DC-2W which, IMHO, blew it out of the water. Still, the TC is a fantastic budget pedal!
At a fraction of the price of the boss, it's easy to understand why these sell well. I might try and see if I can get my hands on there boss and do a shoot out between them 👍
Yeah, just like the boss, this has presets that you can switch between rather than controls you can adjust. The afterglow is great, I tried it a few years back and was very impressed by it 👍
I like the Mooer flanger, so I bought three. Their chorus ensemble is good too. Haven't bought one yet. (Fits in my front pocket.) Glad I found tc electronic!
I don't think there is 1 answer to that question, some do things differently than others and it all depends on what you're after. I like this one, the joyo analog choirs or the Caline orca. The TC Corona is fantastic and really versatile with the tone print technology too
no, there are 16. One combination where all are off, one where all are on, 4 where only 1 button is on, 4 where only 1 is off, and 6 where 2 are off and 2 are on
If you can turn each mode button on or off independently, there are 16 combinations.
That's a lot of options for a simple chorus pedal 👍
Just got this today.
Trying it out in a bit. Great review !
Cheers, thank you. Let me know how you get on 👍
I have gotta say, this has blown me away. The switches are voiced really brilliantly 👍
Could not agree more 👍
3 and 4 together is beautiful.. gonna buy it now!
Cool cool, let me know how you get on 👍

Yeah it's a really interesting take on the chorus isn't it? The 4 buttons seems like it could be a limitation but it makes it a really focused sound 👍
Great demo. This whole TC line is fantastic IMO! Good stuff!
Yeah absolutely. I think I might be doing a Vs on this one for next week's video, so check back in for that one 👍

Photos of my settings now since the boy was two. Two years worth of pictures

It's so easy to use too, you know when you press certain buttons it's going to be the same every time. It's a great pedal for sure 👍
This is a behringer but in a sturdy case. I just bought it after watching your review. Many thanks.
Cheers 👍 it gives a different flavour of chorus than your average cheap pedal huh?

I may have to get one....Great lil playthrough
For the price they ask, it's not hard to justify having one
great work, thanks!
Thanks for the comment 👍
#3, 2-3, and 1-3 are my usual choices. I have to remind myself on what #4 does. Add some reverb and you’re playing Purple Rain.
Yeah, it sure does have that vibe to it huh? There are some great sounds in this unit for sure 👍
Another great demo Mr BPC, keep up the great content! Bloody love a good chorus pedal, if I didn't already have a WA Julia I'd possibly have ended up with this (of course it had to be purple)!
Why thank you, kind sir. It does sound great don't it? The simplicity of the 4 buttons makes it really appealing

Aw man, that sucks to hear about your classic pedal. Glad this one for step in and pick up the slack 👍
@@BudgetPedalChap I have other stuff now I love, and for the price of the new boss I'd expect presets and other things so forget that. This might be cool for nostalgia. Appears to sound really good.
@@deanallen927 yeah, I really like it. The tone can be really thick which can be an issue with some chorus pedals
I have one of these they are brilliant, so low cost as well
The build quality seems sturdy too
I'm torn between this and june60 v2. 😢
I've heard good things about the juno, I haven't got one yet. I really should get one 👍 I can vouch for this one, it's legit 👍
@@BudgetPedalChap Thanks! Any chance which setting you can pull of a Come As You Are sound?
@@SandauxBeats I'm not entirely sure. I go over quite a few of the button combinations in the video, see if any take your fancy 👍
@@BudgetPedalChap Will do. Thanks!

Sounds great! I hope there will be soon a stereo version like the Juno
That'd be ace wouldn't it?
Let s talk in 30 years more. Time will tell.
Indeed, that'll show if it stands the test of time
What? No fast or slow? That is cool, but weird. Sounds good though. The tc afterglow, Has a RATE knob! 🥰🎸🕊️
Yeah, just like the boss, this has presets that you can switch between rather than controls you can adjust. The afterglow is great, I tried it a few years back and was very impressed by it 👍
@@BudgetPedalChap I just bought a tc afterglow, thunderstorm, and third dimension from Sweetwater! Thanks for the videos! 🥰🎸🕊️
I'm always on the lookout for a decent bargain on these pedals, they've all been great so far. If you get a chance, the cinders is a great bd2 clone 👍
I like the Mooer flanger, so I bought three. Their chorus ensemble is good too. Haven't bought one yet. (Fits in my front pocket.) Glad I found tc electronic!
According to you, which is the best chorus under $100?
I don't think there is 1 answer to that question, some do things differently than others and it all depends on what you're after. I like this one, the joyo analog choirs or the Caline orca. The TC Corona is fantastic and really versatile with the tone print technology too
@@BudgetPedalChap Thanks ! I will listen to them!
Are the Joys analog chorus and Orca based on the same circuit?
@@guitareplayer7141 I think they are both loosely based on the CE2, but there is nothing confirming that
@@BudgetPedalChap What about the Nux analog chorus?
Dis pedal ❤️
It's a bit of a gem 👍
24 combinations with four buttons: 4 times 3 times 2 times 1 = 24.
Did I do them all though? I lost count...
no, there are 16. One combination where all are off, one where all are on, 4 where only 1 button is on, 4 where only 1 is off, and 6 where 2 are off and 2 are on
@@stevedixon8567 yep, 2^n
so quite meek and shit !
Not for everyone's tastes huh?
You probably don't like The Pretenders who aren't sh*t.. Try getting your ears syringed..
Sorry, Mate...
Your guitar playing doesn't help much to the review.
Sorry to hear that gent, hope you find a review that works better for you 👍
