Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Ibanez CS9 Stereo Chorus is a vintage-voiced analog chorus, a reissue of the early-80s CS9, known for a warm, lush modulation. John Scofield runs one with both controls cranked to get a Leslie-like rotary effect. It offers rich, watery chorus from subtle shimmer to deep swirl, suited to clean and lightly driven jazz, fusion and rock tones.
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.
