The Twelve Days of Chorus - Part 5

So the big thing is getting that high end sound out of items that usually don't get thought of as such. One of the first companies that came up with the rack sound in a pedal was TC Electronic.

The problem with stuff like that is yes you get a rack sound, in a pedal, but the price is usually closer to a rack, than a pedal. I had one on loan to me for awhile, and when my friend started calling me asking for it back, I actually started dodging his calls for a day or two! The Sound was amazing, it had a nice Hi-fi like feel to it, certainly a modern sound that could get nice and glassy. It was one of those situations where it didn't clutter up what was already going on tone wise, but just added "more"

Recently TC said they can't make them in large amounts anymore, as some of the components aren't getting made as much, and as technology is progressing, there's less and less need for those components. Eventually the manufacturer will stop making them all together.

So TC decided to make one of their Corona Chorus pedals, with the retro graphics and a downloadable tone print (that works on the regular graphics version of the corona chorus as well). With a Street price of $129, its nice to see that rare-ish high end stuff I used to drool over, alot more available, and well within almost any budget.

If the Tone Print is as good as the original, It's worth getting either the green or the classic looking one, but I know I'd prefer the vintage looking one.
