People either really seem to love or hate this pedal. Haters tend to call it cold and sterile sounding. I suppose that compared to a vintage Boss CE-1 or EHX Small Clone, the tone of the CH-1 is not as lush or liquid (sorry, probably the two most over-used adjectives when it comes to chorus) sounding. I don't think that's the tone the designers of this pedal were going for, though. To me, the CH-1 sounds best for adding a little extra thickness and dimension to clean tones rather than slathering on the chorus effect. The CH-1, in my experience, blends very well with distortion, which makes it a great choice for lead work and getting those cool mid-era Alex Lifeson Rush tones.
