I'm writing up between this and it's smaller version, the EHX Pico. Does anyone know if Pico can also do the tremolo effect? I don't have a trem pedal and would be good to have that function in the same pedal for space.

This is actually the most subtle of all the Bi-Chorus pedals I have, that or mine is defective. Maybe someone else can confirm this. It's almost to a fault because it is the least interesting of my Bi-Chorus pedals. The Peavey DSC-4 or Ibanez/Maxon BC-9/BC-01 are subjectively superior to me. I can see why this was a fad though. You really only need a chorus pedal with a custom LFO wave or a normal LFO for that matter. Most guitarist or listeners are not going to care about two chips/LFO circuits because they won't even run or record them in stereo. The LFO for these pedals in mono take on unconventional wave form properties at that point.

Use eq or a filter, cut high frequencies simply...and chorus wont be so ''annoying'' and it will be a great stereo effect for anything but I like it a lot on a bass for example...

I had the Chinese version you showed for years and it was great. However I don’t recall I sounding as good is that one. Yours seemed like I have a little more than range and could be almost flanger-esque while mine was more CE-2ish with what sounds like more midrange. No telling with the trim pot tweakers that don’t know what they are doing. Same thing with the FX 90 analog delay. great and delay but trim pots all over the place

*Schwartzenegger voice* "You need to chill out... with this pedal." Or honorable mention to: "what's cooler than being cool? The DOD Ice Box." All right all right all right all right... dad jokes out of the way, of all the 90s DOD brood (and yes, I love the Grunge), this seems to pass the test of time the best... with flying colors in fact. Great pedal from a highly underrated brand!

Surprised to see a video on DOD's Freeze Box Chorus... Well done! I have the same model which needs decoding. I've hung onto it all these years because it's a great chorus pedal. I think having the treble (freeze) control makes it stand apart from other chorus pedals. Cheers!

The ice box- It's also the perfect color like subzero from mortal kombat. I'm sure CyberAttack would approve.

Its a great pedal. Like many DODs. I remember when I was like 13 in the mid-90s, my first pedal was a DOD Vibro Thang (another Lamb-era classic). I think there is still an ice box somewhere in a old crate of pedals upstairs, which belonged to my friend and other guitarist in the band (still my best friend to this day).
@Vildhjuggah6 күн бұрын
I don't have any other choruses to compare, just an ice box, but i feel like mine doesn't do enough. Been wondering whether i should upgrade or if its just cuz i'm not using it in stereo. But if people like it then maybe i just don't like chorus idk
@xenod10665 күн бұрын
Just add another different chorus. Lol. The digitech Nautila is nice and has multi-voice and a tone control. EHX Stereo Electric Mistress is great with simultaneous flange and chorus. MXR Stereo Chorus has boost and cut eq that I think are super useful. A trick I like to do, when I want "more" and "lush" but I don't want to swamp out the guitar attack, is to use modulation delay, and set it to "doubling" range, just short of being a discreet echo. This gives the dry guitar signal some breathing room. You can do that with an Ibanez dml10 or similar, a EHX Deluxe Memory Man, a Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail, a Walrus Audio D1 delay, a Keeley 30ms Doubling pedal, or a TC Flashback, though to get the correct percent of modulation you want, you might have to program your own patch using their Toneprint editor. The TC Flashback Alter Ego has some pretty good modulated delays as stock settings. Annother cool trick, if you feel your chorus is messing with your note attack too much, is to put a chorus in the feedback loop of a delay like the Strymon Timeline, or the Duncan Vapor Trail I mentioned before. Long story short, you can't have too many chorus pedals, especially if they all have mix/blend controls.

@MeatyController6 күн бұрын
I have one and I'll say this much, it's tremendous on any kind of dirty signal. If overdrive is your thing, you'll get 80s juicy, if you love fuzz, you'll get instant Cocteau Twins, and if you do hi-gain you'll go into Type O Negative territory. On it's own, it's really divisive. The detuning is pronounced. I adore mine.

I love that you do videos on pedals from DOD. I started getting into guitar again, and started putting together a new board. About halfway through, I went a little crazy, and a bit nostalgic, and started buying up DOD pedals that were good deals on eBay. Now I have a whole retro-DOD board of nothing but pedals from 1985 to 96. Some mint, some kinda trashed, but they all work and have their battery covers/knobs etc. 18 year old me would have been impressed.
