Help me choose best CE-2 clone analog chorus

[Moshaholic]

Ok... Been searching the web and forums for days and days now...

Looking for an analog chorus based on the MN3007/MN3207 chipset

I need the chorus pedal to have the following.

1. True bypass
2. Level/Mix knob
3. Prefer stereo outs but not a deal breaker
4. No cheap stuff like Biyang, Moore, etc.

I have a corona chorus and it is just not doing it for me, and I had the MXR analog one that has the blinding blue LED and didn't care for that one either...

So far I am looking at the

1. Analogman mini chorus w/mix level option added
2. Jaques MEISTERSINGER
3. Maxon CS-9 Stereo Chorus Pro Pedal

Any other killer CE-2 clones out there I might not be aware of?

Not trying to troll here, but what's wrong with the actual CE-2?

It does not have any the things I listed...

The CE-2 is awesome. You can't go wrong with the Analog man stuff

The CMATMods Chorus is the best CE-2 clone I've found. I love the Analogman Mini w/ Mix knob, but the CMATMods is still my favorite.

I love the CE-2 but need a mix knob and true bypass

Have you compared it to a jaques chorus???

That chorus sounds AMAZING !!!

When Friedman did my pedalboard, he said that the CE-2 actually is better without the true bypass. He said it loses some mojo with a true bypass installed.

The Analogman chorus is based on a EHX Small Clone as far as I know

Maybe get a cheap Taiwan CE-2 and send it to Analogman to get it modded

The new CMATMods Chorus has both true bypass and a blend (the older version did not have the blend).

As far as I know, the Jacques does not use the same chip as the old CE-2s (the CMATMods does). While the Jacques does sound great, the CMATMods nails the CE-2 perfectly (with blend and true bypass thrown in).

You seen the Keeley Seafoam Chorus?

if your being picky, the retro-sonic is the only choice

I dig the Analogman a lot, better than the CE-2. Mine has the mix and the depth knob.

Retrosonic...not sure if he still makes them though, was running low on chips last I heard. Sounds most like a CE-1 that I ever heard

Providence Anadime Chorus new version

Strymon Ola

I agree. Ive had several including Analogman and the Ola is by far the best Ive tried so far.

I have a jacques meistersinger and Maxon CS-9pro. I am surprised you are considering the meistersinger as it is not true bypass and mono. It is a great pedal, simple and easy to use. The Maxon CS-9pro is nice as well, not quite as warm as the meistersinger, but still a nice warm sounding analog chorus. I don't use chorus much, but I do have one pedal for each pedalboard.

This is what you need, mine has a three way depth and internal mix control. Best analog chorus pedal I've ever had and can have two different settings. You can also get it with the stereo option
