What are some favorite devices for creating a chorus sound? What about back in the '70s? How'd Hughey do it?

Don't know that I really ever heard John Hughey use a chorus (just doesn't come to mind, not that he didn't). His bar technique is phenomenal.

I'm sure you will get many recommendations on pedals. I mostly play with just amp reverb but I do have a Digitech S200 effects unit that I sometimes use for chorus, echo verb, etc. I really like this unit.

Brad,

My H&K Rotosphere has Rotary AND Chorus effects on it. It's tube driven and both effects sound great to my ears.

I think the Boss CH-1, Super Chorus, is worth a try. It has a stereo effect variable between the left and right speakers. It also has an EQ function to adjust the tonality of the chorus sound.

I guess the definitive chorused steel sound is Sonny Garrish's work on the great Judds and Randy Travis sides (among many, many others). He used an original Boss CE-1 like this one.

MXR Phase 100. Small, built like a rock, gets decent battery life, fabulous slow and fast (mono) chorus, and also works GREAT with a fuzz...if you're into those "heavy metal" sounds.
