Tonepad Chorus

[Kipper4]

I know a few of you must have built this.
What is your opinion of it?
Worthwhile build or a waste of good componants?
I'm thinking of tackling it.
Are there any good mods?

Heres a link. I hope this works, I've tried with tonepad links before that didnt work. Haha

Clone of a Boss CE-2.
Sounds like a Boss CE-2.
Is louder than bypass, just like a Boss CE-2.

I did the vibrato and intensity mods and found them both useful - the stock sound is nothing remarkable, but I might not be the best person to judge as I think 99% of chorus pedals sound the same anyway.

I haven't built this one. I did build the Tonepad Small Clone and I can highly recommend it.

+1 ^^^ 

Much deeper chorus than the CE-2 and you can do a LOT of mods to tailor it to your liking.

+1 on the small clone..very nice.,

I'm with the others on this one, Rich.  Go for the Small Clone.  It's fing brilliant.

Thanks guys for the advice.
I had the stock to make the tonepad.
I've been and bought 4x cd4047 now so it will wait.
I'll do the tonepad small clone. Probably do some of the mods too
Cheers guys

... and to think I've currently got a tonepad ce-2 on my bench.  Sounds pretty good at the moment  I guess a small clone is on the way too.

Cheers!

Do let us know how it turns out mate.
thanks

Louder then bypass??? What do you mean? I own three CE-2's.....two japan one tiwan...I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary volume wise.

small clone? SMALL CLONE?

go for it dude, if you're gonna do it, build a CLONE THEORY.

way cooler than a small clone, and a lot more that can be done with it stock, never mind all the mods...

That's how I've always found them to be! Maybe it's to do with how I EQ my amp.

Rich do the small clone ill send a pcb for it and the stereo mod. Just make sure and use a 4pdt swig h so the stereo line works in bypass as well as engaged. It sounds nice.
