Suggestions for chorus pedal?

Thinking about adding a chorus to my signal chain for the purpose of covering /approaching tunes like ZZ Top's version of " I thank You" or the effect on Van Halen's version of "Pretty Woman".
Any suggestions for a pedal that is reliable and not a fortune?
thanks,

Probably the Visual Sound H20 which has a pretty good chorus and an echo unit in the same pedal. If you just want the chorus effect than the V2 Liquid Chorus is available.
The H2O goes for about $189.97 and the Liquid Chorus for $139.97 from Sweetwater. If you do not already have an delay unit than go for the H2O. They are available at most of your bigger music retailers.

The best chorus I've heard is the Keeley modded Boss Chorus, the blue pedal. The website has info on the specs and price.

I have several chorus pedals, the one that is on my board is the Fender Chorus. It's rich deep, sweet and chirpy and all around maybe the best I have ever heard.

I should have mentioned:
I am running my guitar into a green Maxon OD 808 and Carl Martin red repeat delay then into an amp; Blues Jr or Vox.

Keep an eye out for a old Boss CE-2.

Excellent all-around chorus with a sweet vintage vibe that won't burn a hole in your pocket. Never harsh, will do warm and gentle stuff as well as a nice rotary effect that goes great on lead lines after mid-gain drive settings... without the edgy bite from some modern pedals.

Plus 1. Yeah there are few of them on http://www.musicgoround.com one is at their Farmington, MI for $49.99, Littleton, Co. $129.99, Kenosha, WI for $59.99.

I got mine off of eBay for under $100. I like more then I do the CE or CH chorus pedals.

The HomeBrew Electronics THC Chorus is excellent.

Btw, I think EVH used a phaser for most stuff (and occasionally a flanger).

and Analog Man's is the one that has stayed on my pedalboard.

+1 on the tc pedal

I got a Danelectro DC-1 Cool Cat Chorus pedal that does just fine for me. Expect some noise. But it's great and only $69.95. Built solid and it looks like a car from the 1950's

Arion SCH-1 if you can find one .

For a while I had an 18volt Danelectro Cool Cat, but went back to the Boss CH1 Super Chorus. Most chorus pedals will get you close, but Boss meets the "reliable and not a fortune" qualifiers you state.

Curious, what amp awill you be using?

The rest of my pedals are boutique or vintage, but I use a BOSS Super Chorus, it sounds the best to my ears.

I haven't heard either of the songs you're talking about, but be aware that the BOSS is pretty subtle, It's my understanding that the Chorus Ensemble is more pronounced and warmer.

I advise against Visual Sounds, I used to have an H2O and I think all their pedals are terribly overpriced.

Thanks to everyone!
I picked up a Danelectro Cool Cat CC1 (9V) with true bypass that does the trick.
metal housing , actually very quiet ...and yes...it looks like the back of a 50s car.
