TC Electronic CORONA CHORUS TonePrint-Enabled Chorus Pedal with 2 Built-In Choruses, Tone Adjustment Control and Stereo I/O

I gave up on the last two chorus pedals I bought because they made what I considered an unusable amount of hiss. This Corona pedal adds zero noise to my signal chain. The depth control can add more effect than you would probably ever use. The level control is not a gain control, it adjusts the amount of dry signal added to the wet effect. The internal dip switch that can add a buffer stage to the input is a nice feature that I haven't seen on other pedals.I've only had it for a day now so I can't speak to durability, but it seems well made. The tiny switch that changes the chorus type seems fragile, but it is wedged inbetween the speed and depth knobs where it probably won't get bumped accidentally. If I have any issues in the near future with durabiiity, I will come back and edit this review.Would buy again.

I bought and cancelled this order a dozen times. A blank space on my pedalboard had been haunting me about 5 months now and I have everything I need. I fed didn't need chorus. I hate chorus.But! I'm so glad I bought this. My clean tones need zero help. I build my own amps and my main at the moment is a 57 bandmaster clone with some special tweaks. 3x10 alnicos are super sweet for clean to overdrive and heavier with the two barber pedals I use.This chorus makes my solos jump out! Adds a bit of cut and midrange depth - thickens in a cutting way. Very very Kings X with rate on zero! I have been wanting this sound for ages and had no idea.Damn the torpedoes! This pedal is now dual-locked onto the board.Oh, mine is post dirt, pre delay and verb.

A friend who is a session guitarist in Nashville recommended this over my existing chorus pedals and I see why. Besides providing true stereo and true bypass, the pedal is very flexible, even to the point of allowing users to imprint sounds from other chorus pedals and to upload "tone prints", settings from national players such as Paul Gilbet, Steve Vai, and others. I haven't yet attempted that but it seems a pretty cool feature.This is a spectacular pedal, especially for the money.

This is the best chorus’s pedal I’ve played. The TonePrint feature makes it so versatile and all the presets within that all sounded great, too. Operationally, on the pedal, it’s just as versatile and however you dial it in it won’t sacrifice your tone.

I owned few chorus pedals and I always disliked how easily this effect becomes "in your face" sea-sickness inducing tool. I have couple other TC Electronics pedals on my board - Flashback Delay and Hall of Fame Reverb and they are both great (after I bought HoF I stopped using amp reverb - HoF beats it hands down). I want to build a stereo rig for solo guitar playing so Corona was a good candidate based on my experience with the other two. It can be very subtle chorus - the "Effect Level" has whole range where effect is barely perceptible so it is easy to dial just the right amount. One thing that always speaks well for gear is the fact it inspires you - when I was testing Corona I just kept finding nice chord sequences - before I knew I was jamming for an hour B-)

I like the slow coloring settings in chorus. It has too little color in the slow-shallow settings and in order to bring it out more I had to increase the speed too fast or deepen the depth to a point where its "un-natural" instead of enhancing.... I was able to get an acceptable setting but not much room for error. IE: Speed, medium slow - depth, almost too much, and MAX FX level with tone at 2:00 setting. I think if I could get more effect level I could slow the modulation, reduce depth, and obtain the sound I prefer. I guess I'm spoiled by higher priced effect processors. It is an okay pedal all and all for the money.

The switch failed on this product within 6 months of purchase with light home use. It turns out that this is a common issue with TC Electronics pedals. I contacted TC Electronics Customer Service which is administered by Music Tribe. They began the process of reviewing my claim on August 3rd. On August 9th they advised that the company was restructuring and was unable to provide RMAs at that time. They have not responded to any emails requesting updates in the last 3 months. I would advise against purchasing their products until they1. correct the faulty switch issues2. take care of customers when their product fails.

i have never been a chorus guy (i prefer tremolo) but knowing Eric Johnson use the TC VFC, and I really like the tone he get out of it. then in the TCE web page they said this chorus is the same you can find in the VFC, so i said to myself lets get one of those. So i got one. The effect sometimes is very subtle, you have to crank the tone and the level knob to hear a hearable efect. Specially the tone knob is the one that really makes a difference, quite odd if you ask me. The pedal give you and extra boost in the lower frecuencies, i dont know why, so you have to be careful about the level. For my suprise i really like my dirty sounds more than my clean sounds, where i found it is better suited for single coils pickups rather than humbuckers, but with distortion magic happens everything open up quite lifeson style, i really enjoy that (huge rush fan here). i think i need some time to get use to this puppy. great quality by the way but you expect that from TC. Beware of the dog, GET AN AC ADAPTOR, this pedal will suck dry in 1 hour a good battery!!!
