| Looking at getting into a 90’s country tribute situation and thought a chorus pedal might be helpful. What were guys using then? I have a CE-2 Waza I can take from my tele board, but I wouldn’t mind having something specifically for my steel board. |

I used a Boss CE-2 throughout the 80s and into the 90s and was always happy with it when applied judiciously to the overall sound.

In all honesty, probably any chorus pedal will do.
Especially if you don't have it on all of the time.
One alternative tip: Don't overlook using a flanger.
A chorus and a flanger are essentially the same circuit, EXCEPT a chorus does not have a REGEN control.
If you set the Regen to zero/off on a flanger......Presto.
You have a chorus.
Also, there are many really inexpensive pedals out there made overseas.
A few years ago I put together an entire pedal board for a friend of mine using cheap import mini pedals.
Chorus, flanger, two delays......I didn't pay more than $20 for each of them.
Cruise Craigslist and look for brand names:
Donner
Mooer
Moen
There is a potential down side to these mini-pedals: There isn't room for a battery, so you need to use a wall wart. |

| If I'm not mistaken, I think Sonny Garrish used a Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble. The gray one with 2 foot switches. I could be wrong though. I thought I was wrong one other time, but I was wrong |

You may be right this time, Tim. |

| Well, if Sonny didn't, Paul Franklin definitely did! |

I never thought I'd get into those cheap mini pedals but the Flamma FC05 Mod pedal has a great chorus, a nice phaser and cool rotary effect and more and it's only $35... I put together a very compact board and it's the perfect utility effect for me, super easy to tweak on the fly.
All I wanted was a phaser but figured I'd try this out and have been really happy with it!
