Chorus pedal suggestions

[scottosan]

I just bought a cd4046 and a mn3007 and was going to do the Zombie chorus, but I have been reading about all of the issues with it. Has anyone had any possitive experiences?  Are there any other choruses I can make with those part?  Also, is there any clips out ther of some DIY chorus pedals?

Thanks,
Scott

i, personally, love my zombie chorus. It is one of the few choruses that doesn't make those annoying grating sounds with distortion into it (works fine with metal master). I also put in a switch to speed the thing up dramatically... makes for a neat little addition to an already great build. My only real complaint is the uneven chorus, but you have to be a real sound miser to get irked by that  :?

I like my zombie now, but I didn't like it when I first built it.  I went the route of building a off-board trimmer set up to set an independent bias for the BBD. Along with some other changes made, this got rid of the ticking, it sweeps evenly, and it doesn't distort.  So, I guess I would've been better off building a Small Clone from Tonepad.  But, I was unaware of that project at that time.  My zombie isn't dead quiet (it still has some swish when the LFO sweep is set fast) but it's okay.   Even though I got my Zombie to work right, I still want to build a Small Clone and A/B test them--that's how I get my jollies!

The Zombie is fine once you get past the ticking/biasing issues (easily conquered).

If you drop the value of the clock capacitor even more, from the 500pf you get with two 1000pf in series to, say 180-270pf, you start to get some nice slow Leslie tones.  

Doing the dry-lift mod to get vibrato is also fruitful, as is changing the LFO timing cap to get some quasi-ringmod tones.
