Good chorus, great Toneprints
This pedal has three modes to select from, one "normal" chorus (from what I heard an Emulation of the 80s TC Chorus/Flanger), a Tri-Chorus (pretty selfexplanatory) and Toneprint. Well the "stock" modes are pretty decent but didn't quite get me where I want to go (having a chorus which sounds good clean and with a lot of dirt in the signal chain -> Rat/Katzenkönig). The Toneprint mode was a good help with that. I was able to try out a lot of different prints from a ton of different artists, using the app it took no time to switch from one to another, because you can beam your sound to the pedal in no time (like three steps/seconds). You should turn your amp down or mute it, because the sound that occurs while beaming is pretty nasty. I stuck with the Brian May Chorus, because it was very warm and smooth with clean tone and got slightly into flanger territory when hit with the dirt pedals. With the "stock" modes one of these two things weren't as I wanted, they are good, but just didn't do both jobs the way I want them be done. The Toneprint option was what saved it from reselling, I wanted a chours which sounds good with cleans and distortion and which can take the place of my vintage analogue Boss chorus.

Most versatile and wonderful sounding chorus!
First thing first: If you are an analog-snob then you have to change your mindset before you put your hands on Corona chorus. Just because it's not BBD, it doesn't mean it can't do some great, lush, warm and vintage chorus tones. It does, and does it pretty damn good. The two built-in choruses are decent, but this pedal begins to shine in toneprint world. We have great simulations of Boss CE-2 and DC-2, great Andy's PGS double-chorus, and distortion-oriented Petrucci's and Scott Ian's choruses. If that is not enough, you can dive into the rest of toneprints or mess with editor to create your own voicings. Controls are very sensitive and responsive, stereo operation is a great feature, too. I also like the possibility of switching between true-bypass and buffer - comes in handy with some amps. All in all, great pedal!

Very Versatile Chorus Pedal
It is the most versatile chorus pedal I have ever come across.
The 4 tone knobs give you a variety of chorus tones, from the clean chorus sounds, to the crazy flangy extremes. The selector switch in the middle gives you the option of an analog chorus, tri-chorus, and toneprint.
Toneprint is the feature that allows you to connect this pedal to your computer via a USB cable. With it, you can download sound patches, or toneprints, into your pedal, and even create your own.

Much love
Tried a lot of chorus pedals when I was building my first board, went home with this and haven't been let down. My only critisism is how soft the button feels, I constantly worry I'm switching too hard, but no problems yet. The toneprint option allows complete versitilitiy and you can plug it in by USB to adjust all the parameters you like. Ideal, especially doing session work and you need a specific chorus sound.

Amazing chorus
This pedal is my personal favorite chorus pedal (I've tried a few). It has shimmery lush tones that add a magical sort of sound to guitar parts, sometimes even whimsical. The knobs are fairly straightforward and easy to use to create all sots of interesting sounds. I use it often

Good for about anything you throw at it.
The Corona is a great pedal on its own. The Toneprint feature is what makes the pedal standout against comparable pedals in this price range. Using the Toneprint via computer really dials in the sound you want with minimal effort.

By far the BEST
This is the best chorus pedal out there, period. I am not the only one who thinks this. It has some cool features, plus one I am very much on love with... the stereo ins & outs! I can use this with a stereo delay for full imagine. Eric Johnson to David Gilmour, Andy Summers to heavier players. If you occasionally like to fire up 2 AC30s and want a pure stereo delay + a pure stereo chorus all of the way, this is a huge bonus!

It’s a sweet child of mine chorus. If you like the sound of my bass, the chorus sound in songs like Sweet Child of Mine, Rocket Queen, Fall to Pieces, you will now be able to get that in the TonePrint.

"Well, whenever I use a chorus pedal in a gig situation, I always find myself wanting that pedal to do more than one thing. Most of the time, I'm looking for one of the following three sounds: - An all-purpose "pretty" chorus, to make chords sound just a little more spacious, - A high-speed pseudo-Leslie effect for those Hammond-style comping moments, and - That Scofield-esque lead sound where the depth is almost on the verge of sounding out of tune. I like the idea that, using mystical TonePrint cyber-voodoo, I could set the range of each knob in such a way that each of those three sounds would be easy to access in real time, by turning each knob to an obvious setting like "12 o'clock" or to "all the way up". This way, you get a decent variety of tones at your disposal, all from a single pedal - and you can switch from one tone to another in a matter of moments, without messing around with MIDI presets."
