Subject:Re: which clone has the best chorus/vibrato?

If I remember correctly, the original analog CX3 did not have chorus/vibrato, however, the original BX3 did have it. In my opinion, the new CX3/BX3 have the best chorus vibrato, with the Electro coming in a very close second. In fact, it is very hard to discern any difference between the CX3 and the Electro in this category.

The XK2 has a decent chorus/vibrato, but almost too pronounced. The XB2 was pretty lackluster, but perhaps a tad better than the VK7. I'm currently playing around with a VK7 and believe that the chorus/vibrato sound is its Achilles Heel, along with the fact that it is global and cannot be applied individually to each manual like on the Electro, CX3 and XB2. The XK2 also suffers from this drawback.

I really like to have C3 chorus on one manual and no chorus on the other manual. Not gonna happen on the VK7!
