I cycled through quite a few before landing on the T-Rex Twister 2–Chorus/Flanger. Also considering the Strymon Lex for Leslie(ish).
What's your favorite Chorus Pedal?

I'm sorta jonesing for one of these. I played a friend's through his Mesa-Boogie, and it was heavenly. Don't know if it was the pedal providing the juice, or the amp, but I will probably not be able to rest until I get one to try at home with my rig.

I was an 80s kid, so like many others, I abused a Roland JC and Boss chorus pedal for way too long and have PTSD for that sound.
That said, I think the TC Electronic SCF would probably get my money. The demo's sound pretty legit for that huge swirl I used to love

I'm a little different... I had a Digitech rackmount chorus duct taped to my amp throughout the eighties... My only effect besides OD. Then for decades I just plugged in and used amp based reverb and OD. A few years back I started getting into pedals, and plugging into my MXR Analog Chorus, knobs at noon, for the first time, and strumming, I was like "THERE'S THAT SOUND I LOVE!" Took me right back to a happy place. I do use it now almost always on, but very subtle. Almost where you can't tell it's on till you turn it off.

After years with the Retro Sonic chorus, it’s coming off this weekend and being replaced by an original, vintage TC Electronic chorus.
I used to have one ages ago, and I’m really looking forward to having this sound again.
In the lush department, I always thought the Tortuga Martini was excellent, too, and it had a really good vibrato on it.

I actually don't own any chorus pedals but if I went with one, I might go with that one or the Walrus Julia/Juliana!

Detune and chorus are a little different.
In detune, it’s a fixed rate pitch shift mixed with the dry signal and the wideness/wiggle comes from the frequency difference inducing beating (like when you're tuning adjacent strings).
In chorus it’s basically a really short delay mixed in with the dry signal, where the delay time is being modulated, moving pitch and phase of the copy around.
If you like the sound of detuning better, you might just focus on getting a pitch shifter dedicated to that. The cheap Chinese pitch shifters suck as far as tracking or latency for proper pitch shifting, but they’re perfectly capable of getting a good detune effect. Nothing fancy required for that.

The boss super chorus will meet all your post punk, goth, and death rock chorus needs.

I still have a massive amount of respect for Corona beer for putting up a big CORONA billboard right by my highway exit in the summer of 2020. Sheer audacity.

Does chorus really have anything to do with soul music?

good to point out. the soul vibe isn't a chorus, it's a phaser.
vibrato/vibe mode on chorus or phaser both achieve a pitch warble effect. the boss vibrato is 100% wet chorus, and the uni-vibe style vibe is 100% wet phaser.
but the effect is done totally differently (delay vs filter).

Julia and Julianna are Chorus pedals, not detune. They do not have a detune setting.

JC 120! The pedal turns it on and off!

Yeah, I only mentioned the Soul Vibe as another BBE pedal. The Green Screamer was (I assume) a Tube Screamer.

Another Small Clone user here. I've had mine ~40 years give or take, got it in the early 80s I think. I don't use it much anymore, though I won't take it from the board. I use it as a poor man's 12 string on a few songs.

The CS9 is the only one I’ve ever had on my board. I owned it before I even had a board. My second or third pedall I ever bough, reasonably sure.
8 0r 15 years ago, I owned both Digitech and Behrenger choruses that I scored as part of a deal buying someones entire set up, or buying a guitar or amp and saying ok you won’t take less cash, is there something else you would include for that amount. I didn’t like eiter one better than the CS9.
there are probably dozens or even hundreds of the out there now that all do similr things, like there are dirt pedals. If they did something else, they would be called something else.
I’m sticking with the jacaranda brick. Look up, look waaaay up. There it is Rusty, far and high…
P.S., I can’t not like chorus. It was a mainstay in my dad’s sound back before his unfortunate keyboard phase. Glad that didn’t last.
