Modtone pedals

Just recently but the aqua chorus II pedal for cheap. Read some good and bad reviews. Tried it out last night and sounded great. Wasn't noisy nor did it color my tone. This one says its true bypass.

My question is what is the difference between the aqua chorus and the aqua chorus II? And does anyone have any experience with modtone pedals? What are your thoughts/opinions?

I've had many ModTone pedals. I like them.

I only had one. It lasted about 2 weeks then crapped out. It would power on but that's it.

Oh crap. I hate hearing this but I did ask for it so thanks for sharing. What pedal did you have Lon?

Matt, this isn't the first time I've heard this (Lon's experience). Have you had the same issue or any issue with yours? Do you even still have the pedals and if so what ones you got?

I've been using the mini mod chorus and delay for about 6 months now without any problem and been very happy with them.

I've owned the chorus, delay, and tuner.

I had an issue with one tuner, wasn't compatible with my Onespot pwr supply. They sent me a new one immediately.

I sold the chorus and delay, bought another delay, traded it. I still own that same tuner. It's been 3 years on my board I bet.

Been looking at that atomic phaser a lot lately. The Ohio guitar show in Columbus is this Sunday and I'm hoping to find one.

I really enjoy it, love the sounds I get from it.

I don't have any problems with the aqua chorus II yet. And i don't want to get discouraged cuz its not a name brand pedal. I guess time will tell whether its the chorus i want to stick with. I only use a subtle chorus on clean sounds and this one does it well. For the price i got it for i cant complain.
I watched the gearmandude on the tube do a shootout between the modtone phaser, script mxr phaser, the regular mxr phaser and EH Small Stone. Each have a different tone and feel but all of em sounded great to me.
