Does anyone own this pedal?
Has anyone tried this pedal?
Specifically through a tube amp like the Hot Rod DeVille 4x10?
How does it sound?

I have a Fender Ultimate Chorus, and LOVE the sound through that Solid State amp...but would like to experiment with the Chorus pedal through a tube amp if someone could tell me it is worth my time.

I HAVE watched videos on YouTube, and one in particular has the pedal hooked to a Fender 65' Princeton Reverb....and I think that sounds pretty nice; but I'd appreciate input from those who have used or heard the pedal used in person.

I have one and use it occasionally, but mostly for recording. It has a decent sound and seems like a good bang-for-the-buck!

Got one on "back order" at my favorite 'gear' site. Supposed to ship any time between Dec. 1st. and 8th.

Reason I accepted back-order, is because I'm getting it for $45.41 (dollars) w/free shipping. Couple days after I placed the order...the site jacked the pedal up to $79.99 (but I still get the $45.41 deal).
I understand I can get it at e-bay for about the same price, any day, but I have not had the best luck with effects pedals and foot switches on e-bay, and don't need the hassle.

One thing that always has, and always will 'yank my chain', is, why do 9 out of 10 manufacturers not include an AC power source with their products? Ridiculous!
I wouldn't be against paying a little extra for the product, if these guys would include an adapter, and I didn't have to shop around for one separately.

I had to shell out an extra $17.99 for a Fulltone FPS-1 Negative Center Pin 9V AC Adapter...because I'm not a fan of the stupid 9 volt battery idea.

Question: How long do those batteries last any way, if a person is responsible enough to shut the pedal off immediately when done using it, or during breaks? Never bothered to try, so I honestly don't know.
The idea of not having an extra cord laying on the floor is good...but the battery thing also seems like a hassle to me.

Well; I've had a chance to play around with this pedal for a week now, and I gotta tell you---I LOVE it.
Does exactly what it's supposed to, and sounds fantastic through my Hot Rod DeVille.
Hooked it up to my Deluxe 85 also, and sounds great there too.

So whether you have Solid State or Tube amp...I recommend this pedal to any and all who enjoy the Chorus sound.

Next purchase may be a Fender Delay Pedal; been checking them out on YouTube, and I think it would sound great in a chain with this Chorus. We shall see eventually.
