Hi !!!(sorry, my english is not good as yours  :wink: )
I love the sound of SCF from Eric johnson, so I'm interested in build something like it, only for chorus. There're those schematics:

But the design is complex and it's difficult to build.
I think this circuit can be make easier. I mean,
preamp/splitter into:
--wet-->ne570 with bbd(and modulation section)-->L(mono)
--dry--->R

I think this chorus design is unique because have a compandor (ne570) and it make the chorus sounds clearer. How can I include the compander ne570 in a basic chorus circuit?. All chorus circuits I have seen don't have ne570 except this, How much important is ne570 to get a clearer sound?
Visual sound sell new mn3207 and mn3102, and cheap:
Which is better: mn3007 or mn3207?

Thankssss, this forum is great!!!

Hi Jacob, those schematics came from me originally, I wrote in the parts values! The 570 is for noise reduction so that when the guitar is at rest, and therefore no input to the chorus, the noise generated by the effect is gated out. I don't think it makes the sound any cleaner, quite the reverse I would think. I once tried a 570 circuit in an Electric Mistress and it took away alot of the edge to the sound.
