2 knobs. A width option would be amazing but I am happy with rate and depth !

Sound Quality : 9
Just beautiful ! it has a certain magic in the sound, that ambience when the chord fades. It can handle bass frequencies the best of all the chorus' I have used. The bass gives it warmth and it is very clear. The top end is slightly cut off so it has a 'fat' sound. The chorus can go very deep too. There is a sweet spot on this and it is just LUSH !. I am selling my Boss CE-1 and my Ross chorus ! it's that nice ! It makes me realise how crap the Boss ce-1 is ! I think it was made for keyboards anyway. Don't think about the Boss ce-2, that is well over rated, it thin and average. I would like to try a Rockman stereo Chorus and I will buy the old MXR again that I used to own before. That was nice too....liquid, organic and warm, a little like this Sound city. There is a very slight cycle hiss but when your playing you don't hear this. I am recording so I will need to find a way of reducing this. I am using the Sound city on the front stereo patch of my Rivera TBR1-M with an MXR 2000 series stereo flanger. I use an Eventide DSP 4000 on the rear effects send of the amp. I also use a Matchless Hotbox tube overdrive, Boss pn-2 tremolo pan, Boss dd3 delay and Fulltone bassdrive. I am looking out for a sound city phaser and overdrive now !

Companies will eventually go. This one did. In 1977 I guess they would be good.

Overall Rating : 9
Rarely give a ten. This pedal is a nice surprise. It does have a sound that is unique. It is so warm, clear and has a beautiful ambience. It's a gem for sure and I will never sell it. There is a romance in finding a cheap, crappy looking pedal and it blowing away the 'big' boys ! Shows you that it's all hype and b***sh*t !

Typical chorus with two knobs a blind monkey could work it out.

Sound Quality : 10
excellent, not a crappy economic sound but a very warm and clear stereo sound that works fine in mono too, i'm pretty satisfied and i will pay a lot more for something like that, way much better than the shitty line 6 new stomp boxes. used with my '76 strat it gives a creamy and crispy tone that makes me cum in my pants at the first chord..it seems to have something similar to the roland chorus/echo closed in a little sturdy black box as i can easily play andy summers tunes..and i paid almost nothing for this!

Reliability : 8
i wasn't a big lover of chorus effect since i find this one but now think i could cry to the moon if someone stoles it..i really coldn't use a backup as no other chorus is so warm, only old roland big units, so i will simply stop again to use chorus. anyway it' impossible to break as it is made in sturdy metal, you must be stupid and hit with a big cave hammer and maybe you can kill the pots...but only them

Customer Support : No Opinion
they're long gone but they left big sounding amps and effects pedals as it seems.

Overall Rating : No Opinion
i play blues and hard now. i once played hairy metal but now i'm a classic guy that loves '60 & ' 70 stuff and again yes, it helps me very much to obtain that creamy tones of the late '70 and some lezlie sound too!
