The Twelve Days of Chorus - Part 9

So we've covered Chorus in the form of pedals and racks, mostly with all analog controls, with mostly static settings, meaning, they get shut on and off, not alot of real time tweaking and the like.

In the 1980's, rack gear was the way to go, with multi effects units that could do all sorts of effects at the same time. Some players got tired of paramaters and menus, and eventually went back to analog pedals, or dropped effects entirely, because of the immedacy of getting results with knobs and switches.

But there are tone tweakers that miss that adjustability, and the ability to recall all sorts of variations. Strymon's Mobius is a pretty good example of all that.

Now this does ALOT. Autoswell, Flanger, Univibe, Envelope filter, Tremolo, oh and chorus. The ability to make so many variations (200!), and save them, without the hassle of navigating endless menus. With Tap Tempo, Expression pedal input, and MIDI, it's chock full of Hi-fi chorus goodness. It's not cheap tho, coming in at $450. Even for me this might be a bit much, but the Multi delay line chorus really caught my ears. Besides, Since I usually use chorus WITH delay almost exclusively, this could retire my delay..and my tremolo pedal, and my fliters, and my..well you get the idea.

Here's a great video demo on it:
