I have not taken any pics yet and I just posted a marketing picture for now...
Some brief history...
I only use a delay and a chorus pedal in my loop and I have been off/on looking for a great STEREO chorus pedal that sounds amazing with gain and running clean for like well over a year now.
I also wanted one that was just a chorus pedal and not a combo chorus/vibe/flange/delay/modulation/espresso maker pedal with 75 knobs on it...
I also wanted to grab one that did mess with my tone in anyway shape or form and not cost 499.
Bounced around through all of the common ones and for one reason or another gave up on them...
I had all the Boss, Digitech and EH stuff and either they were to generic sounding or lacked features like a "Blend/Mix control or sound nice clean and to over the top under gain...
I also had the blue MXR chorus for a little while but I was seriously going blind from looking at the "one million candle power" blue LED on it...
I finally comprised and got the green TC Electronic "Bologna Chorus"... that pedal was affordable, did not jack with the tone but it had "just ok" chorus tones to my ears...
A lot of people love the TC "Bologna Chorus" but it was always love hate with me as I sometimes felt it was lacking personality on cleans and the gain tones were kind of mushy and didn't have that exact 80's vibe I was looking for...

Enter the DLS Waves... WOW!!!
This pedal is really warm and amazing in stereo and takes gain like a champ... 80's CE2 tones, rush and police style stuff... it is all there.
Did I say this thing loves distortion??? After hooking it up I like never want to turn it off ever...!
Simple layout too and it does not spank your tone from what I have seen so far. Might be a little pricy for some @ $199.00, but no where near the high dollar stuff...
I am using the factory power supply it came with vs. adding to it my voodoo II power supply on my pedal board for the time being.
I have tried then all for the most part in the mid priced range I highly recommend checking this pedal out if you want a very cool chorus pedal...
I honestly don't see how anyone could not dig this thing. Here is a link to the site - http://www.dlseffects.com/Chorus_Waves.html
The Rush style clip sounds amazing but I really don't care for the video with the guy with the 7 string as IMO It is really not the best representation of this pedal at all.
In person the thing is way better than some of the clips I have ran across...
