I would also love to know this!

I've just scored a mini. Currently a/b'ing it with a Boss CE2 Waza. Both excellent.

I’ve got a Bi-Chorus, actually put it back on my gig yesterday and gigged it for the first time in a while. It does sound very nice; more on the chewier side of things. Also does a nice rotary emulation at faster settings.

I even found myself enjoying it on a few solos on the gig (I rarely use modulation on leads), it was very cool on the Steely Dan tunes. Also sounded great on the Purple Rain rhythm parts.

Although I’ve generally been using the Red Witch Empress on the few gigs I’ve needed chorus on, they’re different enough to each other to justify keeping both. Think I’ll get the CE2 Waza too at some point and then I’ll be happy (more for the studio than anything else), but really I’d be very happy with the Bi-Chorus on any gig.

An AM Chorus is my longest serving pedal (2003!), I’ve yet to find a chorus that sounds better to my ears and I’ve briefly owned some big hitters.

Got a hole burning in your pocket mate?

Just curious. Jamie was singing the praises of the KoT they have at the studio he works for. I’m not sure my hatred of the Analogman aesthetic would allow me to pull the trigger, but I am curious.

It depends on what you want from a chorus. It's not a Jazz Chorus/CE-2 sound, it's way more in the thick gloppy Small Clone type sound. Personally I'm more into CE-2 stuff for clean chorus'd sounds rather than the thick stuff. It's a good chorus, no doubt, but there are others I'd take ahead of it.

Good. Do love my CE-2, just wondered if there was anything else to pay attention to while my board is in bits

I've got an Analogman Chorus I was planning to stick on eBay this weekend - #32, if you care about such things - still with its box, manual and little cloth bag etc. Drop me a line if you're interested.

I've always preferred the small clone sound. Buy an used one for £40 then you can sell it for the same if you don't like it. I dont think you would lose any money.

I love my BiChorus. It is thicker, warmer, more organic and more wobbly than a CE-2 imo. The louder the volume, the more impressive the Bi Chorus gets. Really warm sounding. Mine doesn’t do that Eric Johnson subtle, transparent chorus. But it does thick wobbles better than anything else I’ve ever heard.
