MOTM

pardon the OT, but you guys are the gurus on this stuff!
Can someone recommend a nice , warm, lush ,  chorus unit.
I just inherited a Yamaha CS-60 and am looking to chorus the pads a bit.

Now that's a funny coincidence, because I got a CS-60 as well
just a few days ago. And last night I tried various FX devices
to go into the "normalized" processing chain for that synth.

The Ensemble section of the Polysix does wonderful things on
the "Strings 1" preset.
And the MOTM Triple Resonator and the Compact A Phaser
are very effective as well.
Next thing I'll try is the Boss CE-1. (I stopped last night at
3:30)

I love my Roland/Boss 1977 CE-1 Chorus/Vibrato more than any other chorus 
I've heard. HIGHLY recommended!!! My MOTM has never sounded so good. Chorus 
is a very effective processing for synth pads and leads!

PS. Old yes, but still the fattest IMHO (only 4 IC's in it so easy to fix 
and replace if breaks or goes out to to age)

An old ADA STD-1 is my first recommendation.

Many decent digital units out there; results vary (my Roland SDX-330 is 
interesting for chorus).  And for inexpensive find a used Rocktron Tsunami 
stomp box.  Very good.  The old standby stomp box chorus is the T.C. 
Electronic unit; not cheap though.

Yeah!  Nothing else sounds like the weird multi-tapped 
choruses/flanges you can get of that box.  Not too common these days, 
though (it was sadly out of production long before A/DA went out of 
business).

Definitely not cheap (but not difficult to find used in the $175 
range if you look around a bit), but very versatile, and definitely 
of "pro-level" sound quality.  It has a wide-ranging input trim so it 
will work with everything from guitar outputs to mixer line levels to 
MOTM levels.  Since it's a mono-in / stereo-out unit, it's great for 
adding spatial depth to a mono signal (but won't do so as weirdly as 
the STD-1).  My main "complaint" with it is that unlike most analog 
chorus units, it's too pristine-sounding, ultra-clear (sparkly, even) 
and low-noise to be very useful for "warming-up" digital synths.  But 
for MOTM and other analog synths, it's great.
