:facepalm: I don’t know if you have ever actually owned a CH-1 but having owned both I’d take an analog CH-1 over a Small Clone. The Small Clone on shallow depth can only be used with the rate up to 12 o’clock at the most, and on the deep setting it’s really only useful up to about 9 o’clock. Basically what that is saying is that at best half the rate knobs range is unusable. Also the Small Clone is very echo-like and you really can’t dial that out of it. I really don’t like the Small Clone. The CH-1 enhances your tone rather than dominating the whole sound. That’s why I find it far more useful than a Small Clone. If I want my tone completely changed I’d use a Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus. I don’t know, I’ve owned about 30 different chorus pedals. They are all different and the Small Clone is a well loved pedal, but I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the CH-1 by calling it a “POS”. It’s about the most grown up chorus going and it’s very unique in the way it treats the top end. No other chorus is like it whereas there are innumerable copies of the Small Clone floating around.

EDIT: OF course the Clone Theory is equally unique in that there is nothing else like it. And the fact that the Small Clone has been cloned has to be a sign that people love it and of course it’s unique also. They are all special little circuits who give a lot of great sounds for different situations. I just don’t like the way it has a long fixed delay time because it’s like a doubling delay that is there all the time. I have built a Small Clone myself and adjusted that delay time down (like Analog.man does to) and it improved it to my ear but ultimately it’s just not my cup of tea.
