Wow! This is the best comparison I’ve ever watched on TH-cam. Please make more like this.
Thank you @katipunero9928 🙏🏼 We do enjoy doing these and are glad that you found them helpful. We have a few more of them on our channel now where we compared Overdrive Pedals. We are working on a new shootout with Delay Pedals and hope to have that live in the next few weeks. More coming for sure!
@@NoFearGuitarGear Your channel is a great help to those of us buying budget pedals online, which we can’t test in person. Could you include the NUX Analog Delay (reissue) in your next delay shootout? Thank you.
@@katipunero9928 We have added that pedal to our hit list. We did already shoot out Under $100 Delay Shootout, it is being edited right now, so can not add this to that, but we will see if we can get one of those and include it in an upcoming shoot.
@@NoFearGuitarGear As a beginner guitar player, it is included in my budget list. I have read and watched reviews of it, but I have never seen a shootout comparing it to other budget delay pedals. I really appreciate your methods on how you compare pedals; it is not just the judgment of one person but a judgment from a jury.
All 3 finalists sounded really good! Great price points for gifts too!
It was a close call, lots of really great chorus pedal options out there.
Love seeing the Yamaha being used!
I have mostly all budget gear... my most expensive pedal is a Boss bluesdriver, .... I have a Behringer analog delay, Danelectro EQ , .... and now, after watching this, a NUX analog chorus...it just arrived today and I’m really happy w it!
@dwstoeckel4740 that sounds great, thanks for being willing to share your experience with the No Fear Gear community. We would love to hear your thoughts on you new NUX Analog Chorus after you have had some time with it. Also we always watch our comments for suggestions on what products we should cover, so if you have a favorite pedal that you think is a hidden gem let us know.
I have unbranded verision of kmise, it didn't cut thru youtube but it has some fun lofi quality to it -it's just like lofi version of ce-2. Very fun video, agreed with almost all your choises.
Great point. Thanks for adding that here and thanks for checking out our video.
I’m rethinking all of my choices! Haha
🤣 That is not allowed, at least not until the Chorus Pedal Rematch, maybe next year!
Beautiful video! I have a nux chorus too 😎
Thanks @Matb13049 . That NUX Chorus is pretty darn good.
Researching chorus pedals, and at the moment, I'm liking the Azor, Kmise analog, and Mosky... It fantastic to hear how some sub $25 chorus pedals made it to the final and actually can hold their own against the big boys. So many good chorus pedals!
I'm ultimately replacing an 80s Digitech rack delay that is behaving badly, so I'm also considering some of the digital multieffect pedals (such as offerings from Sonicake or Joyo) - but you can buy the Azor and the Kmise analog together for less... lol.
What a great dilemma to have... which is why videos like this are very useful. I get to hear the pros/cons on the different pedals from the different players' perspective - as well as on guitar / pickup configurations I don't have. Very helpful. Thanks!
@ChurchOfTheHolyMho thanks for that kind note. There are so many great options and many are affordable, which is awesome. We would love to hear from you on which you select and how you like it.
@@NoFearGuitarGear Hehe... That may be disappointing, because if most are all good enough, it might boil down to the $18 Kmise analog or a Buy2 pedals get xx% off sort of deal. I just stumbled across the Joyo Vision Dual Modulation - and their marketers should be smacked... Each channel has 9 different effects - but neither the Amazon listing, the joyo product page, nor the user manual list the effects. Crazy,
@@ChurchOfTheHolyMho The idea of buying a few is certainly a solid one, you can really test them and maybe stack them. It is frustrating when a potentially promising product like that Dual Modulation pedal that you mentioned does not provide the info that you need. We have been trying to find some good ones and fill in the gaps. We will put that one on our radar.
@@NoFearGuitarGear Cheapest decent pedal won...:)
I ended up purchasing the unbranded chinesium Classic Chorus - which looks to be the red (orange?) KMise / Saphue for $10. To my order, I tossed in the liked/hated MVave Mini Universe for $24 - and I plan to make the mod to quiet the footswitch click. YTers noted that the Mini Universe wines badly when not on an isolated power supply - so I took a shot in the dark with a USB-C to 8x 100ma 9V pedal power supply for $9... thinking maybe if the source power was already DC... but nope - it wines badly... however, when I originally only had it powered by the USB-A to 9V cable in the chorus box - it was quiet. So isolated does appear to be required. (I'm still learning...)
As for cheap chorus pedals, from the videos I watched, it really came down to both the KMise pedals, the Azor you tested here, the Mosky CE-Nano, and the Joyo Narcissus (which apparently can get those flangey sorts of 80s chorus sounds - dunno). But at the same time, I'm wanting to replace my old broken digitech, so wondering if something like the Movall Falling Star would better suit my needs for a mod pedal...
Anyway, this was a good first step into the guitar pedal world... Thanks again for the super helpful video!
@@ChurchOfTheHolyMho Thanks for that thorough update. It does sound like you are exploring pedals in a very cool way. Keep it rolling and we will work to find a few other hidden gems to share here on the channel to keep you thinking about what might be next.
i didn't like the sound of that guitar, but azor sounds best to me
Thanks for joining the dialog, the Azor is really a great pedal and deal.
Agree on NUX
Thanks for joining the dialog here @elee6157
Why distortion sound???
12:25 song?
inspired by "Time After Time" by Cindi Lauper. Thanks for checking out our video.
Wow. The $100 JHS loses to the $24 Azor.
Surprising for sure. Did you hear it another way?
nux loses for being purple
I love how one of these guys (I've seen him in several of these) uses these incredibly nebulous and subjective descriptions of what he's hearing which on the surface sound good but are so subjective and vague. I like asking these types of people, "what exactly does _________ mean?" This usually reveals that they're just using lingo/group-speak to sound like they experts and hearing all this "stuff" but in the end if they were blindfolded, they wouldn't have anything solid to rely on. I'm not saying this guy is that. Rather, I'm saying that when someone repeatedly does this it is so cringy annoying and I wish they would use less subjective, more reliable descriptors.
Great feedback, thanks. These guys do know their stuff, but with something like this they are pretty focused on trying to determine which they prefer and not the technical nuance and explaining that. Might be a limit of this comparison format, thanks for giving us something to consider as we work to consistently get better.
