Been thinking about this more. It doesn’t have to be something that Kurt used (it looks like vintage Small Clones and :) :) PolyChoruses are way too expensive).
But you guys would make me real happy if you got me this: https://reverb.com/item/55181465-ibanez ... raleigh-nc

Or this: https://reverb.com/item/54436838-used-d ... cts-chorus
Cool…time to get this going!

We have $70 to play with, courtesy of:

If I missed anyone please let me know asap thanks :)

The Ibanez CF7 is within reach…any objections or last-minute suggestions?

Thanks DeathJag.

No action required just yet - currently just chilling while the winner decides which one he wants, then we’ll finalise this :)

Cheers.

Due to being away for a few days it took me a bit longer to organise than originally intended, but HedonismBot has selected a Clone Theory, which is currently winging its way to him.

Cheers to the contributors for making this a bit of fun :)

As planned, I’ve paid the full amount of the pedal, so could those below please message me privately so we can square up the contributions . Thanks heaps!

Glad to hear it man!

No worries at all; i’m just stoked that there were a bunch of others here willing to share the love with a fellow OSGer and get the idea off the ground!

Thanks to you all :)

J.

All right, here's the promised report:

The chorus is really nice and versatile. Includes 2 settings, 1 is the moderate non-adjustable setting and 2 is the tweakable one with good ranges of depth and rate. The vibrato is all right, but the chorus is more usable IMHO. Overall, the impression is good so far. Downsides: there's some background hiss going on (which, as I read, is typical for this model) and the pedal seems to boost the volume a little bit, but has no volume control so you have to adjust the other pedals to compensate for that. My verdict: 4/5. Not perfect, but does what I want it to. For a sub-$100 pedal, I can’t complain.

This picture, pretty much, sums up the evening for me:

Thanks again, guys!

Your cat looks possessed, by the way. :o

Sometimes I think she IS! Never had another cat that would run around the house snarling so viciously (just for fun). But she’s probably the most affectionate pet I’ve ever had. Can you spy my other cat in this picture?

Now I do - Dual cats!

I was initially so distracted by the pedal and possessed cat that initially i didn’t see the other cat until you pointed it out. Worthy of posting in the ‘guitar and cats’ thread (wherever that one went?)

(I think we have successfully derailed this thread…)
