Juno 106 Chorus effect

[Don Solaris]

As a stock unit for synths, i'd rate CE-300 poor, rather than fine. And fully agree with RobJB06 impression of the unit.

The low level input trick just won't give full dynamic range and proper freq response of this unit, because the path expects a guitar at the input. The unit also features a compressor and a dynamic expander which both require correct levels.

Yes, you can run it a low level input, but that sounds nothing like the properly gain & impedance matched unit.

Don just reading this old thread again.

I downloaded the TAL chorus the other day and I like it, especially for the price!

Have you tried the latest version of TAL and what do you think about it?.

Also you mention modding the boss to sound like a D! Any info on that?

Whoops, I thought you guys were talking about the Behringer clone

I can also say the SBF-325 chorus is really great - not exactly like Juno chorus but close and with variable mod rate. The Moog MF-108M also sounds good.

The best way is to make chorus input on your Juno. Here's tutorial, very easy:

Points well taken. Thank you.

I think I'll hold off on the CE-300 for now. I've ordered a Kurzweil Mangler to meet my basic multi-effect needs.

The SBF-325 is another that I've been watching.

For what it's worth here's my recreation of the 106 chorus using the Roland DEP-5. Version 1 is pretty dang close. Version 2 is, not quite as close but not back.



1: Clean Juno, no FX
2: Juno Chorus type 1
