Analogman Bi-Chorus in FX loop Mark III?

[DStout]

Hi all,

I am considering buying an Analogman Bi-chorus. Does anyone have experience with using one in the FX loop of a Mark (III)? Does the Analogman work with the gain level of the Boogie?

Does the Analogman have any noise problems?

Thanks for your replies

I'm looking at one too for my Stiletto, plus a T-rex delay and reverb. Would like to know as well.

Thanks!

I have the Analogman mini chorus and I love the pedal. Problem is it sounds too pronounced in front of the amp and I experience unacceptable volume drops when putting the effect in the loop. I emailed Mike Pierra ( aka Analogman) a few months ago and he explained that fx loops are meant for fx processors and not stomp boxes. The volume drop is because the pedal is not designed for line level like a rack mount effect.

I love my Chorus pedal and I have owned it for 3 years but I never use it live anymore because it does not sound good with hi gain to me and it just does not work in the loop. I think this pedal would sound great with a Lonestar or Fender on a clean setting. Analogman himself will tell you that most players will not be able to enjoy the chorus pedal in the loop.

Tone is subjective and please do not take my word for gospel. Email Mike Pierra directly and he can provide you with a better answer than I. Furthermore, what I like and don't like can mean little to others ears.

I love analogman chorus but not with hi gain amps. My Boss CH2 actually works out better ( does not sound better overall by any means but is much more usable since it does not sound too pronounced in front of the amp).

Good luck.

Okay, I know this thread is ancient but after reading this comment I wanted to post what Mike Pierra actually does say:

"Most effects pedals do not work well in an amp's effects loop, unless the loop has SEND and RETURN level controls. With those controls, you can lower the signal to match what a stompbox expects to see. If there are no controls, the loop is probably meant for line-level rack effects units. If your loop does work well with effects pedals, the ones you might want to put in the loop are delays and other delay based effects like reverb or chorus. Most other pedals will sound better before the amp. If you use amplifier distortion then a chorus may sound and work better in your effects loop. But if you use effects pedals for distortion, you can put the chorus at the end of your pedalboard. "

isnt there some kinda ebtech thingy that will bring you up to line level?

It doesn't work better in my effects loop, and I use amp distortion. Lots of amp distortion. The chorus sounds a lot better when in front of the amp.
