    Hi , I already own a SMALL CLONE CHORUS.

    Another style sound I like to capture is the real annoying sounds of Nirvana In Utero.

    Cobain used the Polychorus. To me Flange and Chorus sound very alike. Apparently the key is Massive Delay and Feedback from the Polychorus.

    Is it possible to simply mix my SMALL CLONE CHORUS with some type of delay/echo/feedback pedal ?

    Is their such a thing ? What would be the best alternative set up for something of this sound ?

    Otherwise what I am saying, what would be a better alternative VS spending $230 on a polychorus.

    Could something be mixed with my Small Clone Chorus or is their a cheaper pedal very close to the Polychorus ?

    Thanks.

    Mixing something with the small clone I doubt will achieve anything close to what you want.

    The only thing that might be a contender (other than a cheap BOSS/Ibanez etc. flanger maybe) is the Moog Minifooger Flanger which I see is only $189, not listened to it but might be worth a look.

    ok yeah because I had someone tell me both BOSS Flanger won’t do the trick.

    It apparently has to do with the Extreme Delay that the Polychorus can do.

    Depends on the flanger, some do have a bit of a longer delay, although probably not as long as you really want as the Poly Chorus (the original anyway, can’t comment on the reissue) in chorus mode has about 50mS of delay but that’s not to say they wont get ‘close’ in the type of sound.

    You could mod one to have a longer delay fairly easily, if you find a cheap flanger that uses a MN3207 BBD that’s socketed, you could replace it with a V3208 (available at smallbear) to double the delay time quite easily.

    The Minifooger IIRC claims up to 70mS of delay hence why it’s probably worth looking at.

    AH Okay yeah , I seen a few Grey IBANEZ Pedals that had like a switch with like 30mm and 80mm. I should look out for things that have a MM Switch ?

    Echo Flanger, Poly Chorus & Poly Flange are all the exact same circuit.

    Well I bought a BEHRINGER VINTAGE TIME MACHINE , It’s a copy of DELUXE MEMORY MAN , Sounds pretty good slighty shy of being slow enough for that wobble, this is what I got with it.

    Possible I could mix a Electric Mistress into this mess ? Thanks.
