I built a chorus - you're gonna need a bigger box

Just finished this, based on the BOSS CE-2. As chorus is intrinsically 80s I thought I would go all out with the art and make it as cheesy as possible.

Unfortunately due to the size of the case and wires crossing over I'm getting some faint clock noise so going to have to put it in a larger case, so annoying!



 

Wow, that looks cool! How did you add the graphic/art to the pedal- waterslide?

Thanks! I just painted the box black and used a sticker then lacquered it

Have you tried shielded wire where the wires cross? Also using it with a decent isolated psu is a must, clock noise can be a big problem when daisy-chaining. Looks awesome by the way. :-)

I haven't can you recommend some shielded wire I could purchase?

yeah I tried it with an isolated supply and it was the same

Not unlike the JHS Ryan Adams offering. 

Talking of JHS, here's my genuine 1986 JHS Stereo Chorus, in need of some TLC it has to be said...



And when we say JHS that's John Hornby Skewes.

If you advertise that on TGP. For $600 as an 'early' JHS you will have your hand bitten off.
