Chorus Pedal Shootout! Cornish vs Boss vs Fulltone vs Free The Tone vs Way Huge!

Loads of people have asked me for this, so here it is, a comparison of the chorus pedals that I happen to have at the moment.

- Cornish Super Chorus
- Boss CE-2
- Free the Tone Tri Avatar
- Way Huge Penny Saver Royale (Blue Rhino)
- Fulltone That 80's Rack Chorus.

Whats your favourite?

I own the F.T.T. Tri Avatar and it is absolutely incredible. I also own the Boss DC-2W. I am a huge-Chorus fan. I have played in both: Rush & Police cover-bands, so Chorus (and Flanger) are vital to achieving those sounds. Nice Demo. Enjoyed it. oNe LovE from NYC

TERC is it’s in own league, like the EchoFix for Tape Delay.
But for the pedals only :
100% Free the Tone !
But if you’re running Stereo… 1000% Free the Tone for sure !

Yet another quality video from thelongdongguitarist!

The Fulltone sounds amazing, the FTT got decently close but that TREC is special! Great video as always my friend!

Woah that depth on the FTT and Cornish! Very Close to the TERC. They all sound fantastic as well. I don’t think one can go wrong with any. It comes down to a matter of taste

They all sound great. The Fulltone and Free The Tone are for sure the standouts to me, but they need to be stereo for their full potential. (They're great in mono too, but you know what I mean)
I almost bought the Tri-Avatar because Free the tone make good shit, but got a Walrus Audio Julia instead since the lowest mix on the Tri Avatar is 50% and prefer it more subtle most of the time.

Cornish for me. All his pedals have a great buffer too. Nice demo. 🙂 Best.

[joshbabbitt]

The Cornish and the CE-2 sound pretty darn close to each other. I think the difference is probably the volume control on the Cornish.

I liked those two. But, I really liked that Fulltone rack mount. Man would be killer to get that into a pedal format!

Realy thank you. Now Im about 300Eur lighter thanks to your review and final winner :D. You are doing good job ;). D.

Free The tone/TERC sound the best with either being totally awesome.
I go with the FTT on my board because I get a great Dyno My Piano sound without paying a grand or 5 to get it.
The others sound great for mono use but lack the extra movement that the FTT/TERC give.
The lower depth of modulation on the FTT as compared to TERC isn't an issue for me, I use it far less overtly in my own music and I don' t play in cover bands so it's perfect for me.
I also run it W/D(/W) at 100% in a parallel config to the delays and other effects so I can blend it to taste on it's own.
That said the TERC is a monster and for studio use it is the clear winner for a modern bit of kit.

Love all of your videos - keep it up! Nice Blue Chip TD 35 flex too haha

[chrisday]

They all sound great! Great video. Loved the comparisons!

[bigideaslittlefocus]

Excellent! I think I like the Boss the best even though the Tri-Chorus is super cool

[lovecraftmusic]

Great video!! I would suggest you to try the Mr Black double chorus if you have the chance. It really is a thing on its own.

Of course the Fulltone TERC won, it's three BBD chips of 100% analog 80s chorus goodness. Right up there with the Roland Dimension D and TC 1210 as the best choruses ever made, you really need a true stereo analog chorus. The Free the Tone came close but it's not quite there and all the others just sound like mud.

[HiHello-kufl]

Both Cornish pedals sounded best to me except on rotary Leslie like sounds where the Fulltone sounded best.

[AngelLeppard]

This needs the Providence ADC-4.

But I vote:
1.- TERC
2.- Tri Avatar
3.- CE-2
4.- Super Chorus.

Insane how the cornish is basically impossible to buy costs 3-4 grand if you find one used and the ce-2 still stands head to toe with it. Not knocking cornish i have an ss3 grey box that i love

[afterjoe]

Also, I feel obligated to say that Way Huge wins

[josephballew]

The fulltone sounds the best but not worth 4000 dollars
