It's not a must have sorta pedal. I feel that it's like a spice. Using it more for clean passages in between those heavy riffing stuff. It's nice if you include it some solos and stuff. Metal wise, lotsa heavy riffing, so there's not much of a use for the chorus effect, unless you dig "different" sounds.

I think a chorus pedal is a great addition to a guitarist's rig...it gives you more sounds to play with.

Be careful and judicious with your use of chorus - massively overdone in the 80s to the point of parody - climaxing in things like Def Leppard.
Best used with clean (heed caution watning above) and can fatten a distorted tone, but too much will make it sound muddy.
Boss Chorus (CE2/3) pretty standard. Guyatone one also cool and looks cool.

Chorus are best used clean imo...i usually use it to get that "chime" sound.
Speaking of pedals..thinking of adding a tremolo pedal. Can anybody recommend one? Looked into boss TR-2...but boss pedals are notorious tone suckers.
The line 6 tap tremolo sounds good, esp the opto mode i heard on their website, but dun really fancy the tap tremolo function. Step on in lightly to tap tempo, or press down harder to activate deactivate the pedal. Quite a hassle for me, recipe for disastor if during gigs u dun step down hard enuf u activate the wrong function.
Anws if anyone got one to recommend me, let me know. Thanks

IMO chorus is better for clean passages. being metal-inclined, i seldom use chorus in my line-up, i benefit more from an EQ & a booster 8)

true, unless you are refering to METALLICA's black album... :roll:
rina: if you are using pedals to supplement your tone (especially distortion), do not add too many to your link, it'll suck off more tone than you'll appreciate.

on the subject of using too many pedals, you might say that, oh i see pros using them on tv, they sound great & i wanna be like them! let's quit school everyone!!!
be informed that most pros have their pedals connected in parallel: means, they connect the FX units to the 'FX Loop' feature of their expensive amp, which many of their admirers don't own, especially fledgling ones, who are still in school...
anyway, many of us here connect our pedals in series: guitars-pedals-amp (in this order). this way, the guitar's true signals are altered by the pedals before they reach the amp. i've been through this set-up & it's a self-defeating process. you invest in expensive guitars, swap pickups & all but you still connect in series- time for a change maybe?
however, some of us like connecting pedals in series- then my friends, it's really personal prefrences at the end of the day...
i see more benefits in having a parallel connection, especially when pedals enhances feedback. the reason why i advocate for a good amp above having many pedals. it's a re-channeling of your $$$.
