Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Boss CE-20 Chorus Ensemble is a programmable digital chorus pedal drawing on Boss's classic CE-1 and SDD-320 voicings across six selectable modes. Rich mode delivers a deep, atmospheric chorus wash, Bass mode thickens low end enough to edge toward a heavy, distorted tone when paired with high gain, and Dimensional mode adds a wide stereo spread best appreciated in a stereo rig. A Brilliance control adds shimmer on top of the effected signal, and up to four user presets store different chorus tones for instant recall. Some players find its digital voicing colder and less warm than Boss's earlier analog chorus circuits, so it suits players who value a broad, programmable chorus palette and stereo width over vintage analog warmth.
The TC Electronic Gravy is a custom Guitar Center version of TC's acclaimed Corona and TriChorus chorus pedals, offering two exclusive effects, tri-chorus and vibrato, custom-tuned for lush modulation. A toggle switches the pedal between chorus, a TonePrint slot, and tremolo, while another footswitch handles on/off. It features stereo in and out, true bypass, analog dry-through for tonal integrity, and TonePrint support for loading custom or artist presets via USB or smartphone. Based on TC's excellent TriChorus, its chorus is rich and clean, with the tri-chorus setting adding deep, three-voice shimmer and the vibrato offering warbly pitch movement. It suits players wanting high-quality, versatile chorus and modulation with stereo width for clean rhythm, ambient layers, and vintage textures.
