On my quest to assemble the ultimate pedalboard, I was looking for some modulation. I am a fan of versatility; I don't like having pedals that only make one sound unless that sound is fundamental to my tone, such as overdrive. Even then, I like there to be some room for adjustment based on the musical situation or my musical mood.
I experimented with a variety of different modulation pedals, including a Boss AW-2 (I only found one mode I really liked), Electro Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress (I didn't like that I needed something other than a 9V to power it) and the TC Electronic Helix Phaser (Not enough difference in sounds, and felt like I was paying for the TonePrint feature which I'd never use).
When I plugged into the Keeley Seafoam Chorus, I almost instantly knew this was the pedal I was going to get, even if it was the most expensive one of the bunch. It was the only pedal that didn't diminish my guitar tone; it actually felt bigger. The variety of sound was certainly present, with the ability to dial in a Leslie-esque effect, a ring mod effect, a wobbling old tyme effect, and of course, all the classic chorus sounds I could ever want. It sounded awesome on both clean and dirty tones, too.
The Keeley brand is known for its quality, as all their products are hand-wired in the USA. The Seafoam Chorus lives up to that reputation, and I'd recommend it to anyone on the market for a chorus pedal, or a great pedal in general.
