Product Description


The evolution of the chorus effect seems to have gotten stuck in '80s pop, along with over-processed guitars, cheesy synths and popped collars. This ain't that kind of chorus. When we designed the Boost Chorus pedals we went back to the '70s.

Product Features

  • 100% analog Mix, Tone and Level controls for warm, organic sounds.
  • Mix control ranges from 100% dry to 100% wet.
  • Speed and Depth work in conjunction to control their respective functionsof the modulation.

Customer Reviews


First off, I am not an expert with choruses and this review is bases solely on my experiences. Second, I have only used this pedal with a fretless bass.
The problem I have with choruses, phasers, and flangers is the nodal interference that deadens "random" notes; the effects sound great soloed but fall apart in a mix. I can help the problem a little with a compressor but I don't like throwing more signal processing at the problem (especially since it "flattens" the sound too). The Tech21 Bass Chorus has the same problems as the other pedals due to the phase shifting that all choruses use. I can get a lot of great sounds out of the pedal but was getting frustrated with the nodal cancellation. Finally I tried the knob that makes all the difference: the MIX control. I figured I might be able to control the nodal effect by boosting the source signal and I was right; with the MIX set to 10 or 10:30 the chorus effect sounded great with no nodal problems.
For general use, I like mine set to: MIX - 10 o'clock, TONE - flat (at arrow), Speed - minimum, DETUNE - 2 o'clock, LEVEL - unity, DEPTH - minimum, and MULTI-VOICE - on. With these settings, I get my bass and two slightly quieter basses - one tuned a little sharp and the other tuned a little flat.
This pedal is very flexible, is loaded with great sounds, and gives me the control I need to use these sounds in a mix. For the first time, I am enjoying carefree playing with a great sounding chorus pedal.
