The Boss CH-1 Super Chorus is a long-running stereo chorus known for a clear, creamy, and thick sound with a notably versatile EQ. Rather than leaning warm or overly bright, it carves out a darker, more neutral tonality, with an EQ knob that swings from a modern, bright, shimmery chorus on one side to a subtle, warm, CE-2-style tone on the other. That flexibility lets it produce nearly any chorus imaginable, from bright jangle to dark, thick warble, making it a reliable, balanced all-rounder. With Rate, Depth, EQ, and Level controls and stereo outputs, it has appeared on countless recordings across genres. Its neutral, adjustable voice and stereo spread suit rock, pop, indie, funk, and ambient players wanting a dependable, flexible chorus that can sit subtly in a mix or wash the tone in shimmer.
The Eventide TriceraChorus is a stereo chorus pedal that pairs the lush bucket-brigade-style chorus sounds of the late 1970s and early 1980s with Eventide's signature MicroPitch detuning for deep, swirling, three-dimensional modulation. It offers rich, watery chorus across three voices, customizable detuning for added dimension, and a Swirl parameter that introduces psychedelic flanging, phasing, and Uni-Vibe-style movement and a chewy, phase-shifted throb. With stereo operation and deep control over chorus rate, depth, detune, and swirl, it ranges from classic 80s shimmer to wild, evolving modulation textures. It suits players wanting versatile, high-quality stereo chorus with vintage character and modern depth for clean rhythm, ambient layers, and lush, dimensional tones in rock, pop, and atmospheric styles.
