I’ve gotten to the point in my playing where I’ve pretty much established my base tone, so I’m extremely sensitive about the pedals I add to my rig; especially modulation effects. To me, they should only enhance my tone, and not define it. I should still sound like me whether I have a particular modulation effect on or off. In other words, if the effect is off, I shouldn’t feel as if something is missing from my tone. There are, of course exceptions to this rule of thumb, like my Boss CE-2, where I actually want my tone altered, but in general, I want my modulation effects to simply “fit” with my tone.
Such is the case with TC Electronic Corona Chorus. It simply “fits” with my rig. I’ve been playing with it for the last hour or so, and the more I get to know it, the more I absolutely love it. And all this for $129? This is a winner. In any case, I’ve recorded a couple of clips to demonstrate the pedal. Mind you, all these were done in the standard chorus mode. I haven’t started playing with the TonePrint or TriChorus much yet.
Subtle/Clean
The first clip has me playing clean fingerstyle with a short song. I do the song first without the pedal engaged, then play the song over with the pedal engaged, just adding some subtle chorus. The result is simply amazing:
Liquid/Clean
In the next clip, I do sort of a funky rhythm with a syncopated bass line. Here I’ve turned the FX Level to past 2pm, the Depth to 2pm and Rate to noon. What I get is a real liquid tone:
Swirling/Dirty
In this final clip, I add a little more depth and FX Level, then get into the dirty channel of my Hot Rod Deluxe. The result is a flange-like swirling tone. The interaction with the distortion of the amp is totally cool – at least to me:

OK Dawg, gotta hand it to you. As expressed in a previous entry on your first post about this pedal, I ain’t no fan of chorus pedals, but this one sounds great! None of the constipated tone I’ve heard on other choruses. I’m very surprised; very pleasantly surprised!
The new TC line is amazing quality for the bucks!!
The Delay is bloody astounding in features, do read up on what it can do on some of the modes. Repeats ducked during rapid playing and allowed to trail on open passages, amazing.
TC Electronics finally in the price range for us humans.
I am getting that delay/looper as soon as the tunnel is finished under the bank.
I like chorus but I stopped playing so much in the style I had a use for it. Last great Chorus I had was the Visual Sound Liquid Chorus. I do not think the TC has a peer and for the bucks, mind blowing. How about a real UniVIBE model guys??
Nice examples of various styles/tones using the TC Corona.
I really like the Swirling/Dirty clip. Just enough effect to know it is there, but not swamping the tone of the guitar/amp.
Great price!
