tc electronic 3rd Dimension Chorus Reviews

Great chorus on a budget

No complaints, all sounds are very usable, from light to deep modulation. Pedal is kinda big :)

Buyer beware - this is an always on pedal

It's obvious what this pedal is based on and TC Electronic is not afraid to state that in the name of the pedal.

I have a sort of wet and dry setup going on with two amps and this gives me the always-on chorus sound I want... at 33 euros. In other words, an absolute bargain and everyone, in my opinion, should add this sound to their arsenal.

Did not notice any additional noise added to my signal chain, but the jacks can be a bit loose compared to ones found in more expensive pedals (natural).

The other negative I am going to give this pedal is the size. I wish they could make this in a smaller box.

In summary, pros are:

+ Inexpensive

+ Sound

+ Ease of use

Cons:

(-) Jacks

- Size

An interesting alternative to the usual chorus circuits

This pedal appears to be a low-cost take on the Boss Dimension C chorus, at least in appearance. There are no knobs, just 4 buttons that can be used in any combination. The sound is subtle, and a nice alternative to the more common types of chorus. And at this price, it's hard to fault it too much.

But I did notice that the input level affects the results - a pair of fairly hot humbuckers on a Les Paul and the output from a Dreadbox Erebus synth both yielded a noticeable pitch shifting. Lower output single coils on a T-Style guitar worked better, and added a subtle widening to the sound.

With a solid-feeling metal construction and a low price, it's worth a look if you want an out-of-the-ordinary chorus effect. But it's definitely in the budget end of the spectrum.

Works well on bass

Fantastic subtle (for bass at least) chorus.

Easy to use, sounds good, and feels solid.

Could be improved with LEDs to show which buttons are pressed, but for the price, I can't complain at all. I would recommend to anyone.

Well built but ineffectual

Doesn't really do anything impactful as part of an effects chain. No depth control at all. There seems to be plenty of modulation options but what they are trying to do is anyone's guess. The chorus on Behringer's FX600 is significantly better. Pass on by folks.

Great Value

For the price of I paid for this pedal the quality is amazing. It's very strongly built and can handle heavy use. The quality of the effect is exactly what I expected. It's a great alternative for Boss's Dimension C.

Sound of the 80's

I didn't really like chorus before, but this one doesn't have that warbly underwater sound but somehow it makes the sound "3d-ish". Clean guitar with this chorus sounds like everything made in the 80's.

Weak Single delay line NOT a Boss Dimension clone

The 4 buttons and name give the impression this is a Boss Dimension C clone. Not so. Dimension effects have TWO delay lines, one pitches up whilst the other pitches down. This reduces the warbling that normal chorus pedals have. This pedal has ONLY ONE delay line (I purchased 4 and opened one). Warbling is reduced by making sure none of the presets are very deep. I have the new Boss Dimension C, the Behringer CC300 clone of the original Boss Dimension C and the Ibanez TC7 Tri-Mode Chorus. All work with two counter-pitching delay lines. This pedal by comparison just sounds like a weak chorus, something you can do with any chorus pedal by keeping the depth low.

Not much to say, great chorus tones!

This is my first chorus pedal. I did the purchase after watching demo videos and it sounded very interesting. It gives you 17 different tones. I actually like idea a lot: I don't need to play with 3-4 knobs to find a tone that I like. Some of those 17 tones are very similar to each other. I think I have a lot to discover yet. Tried it with my Fender 65 DRRI and Roland Street cube. The sound is indeed much better with DRRI, but is worked pretty well with the Street cube as well. I think I will keep this one until I find something better and still affordable. :D

Just buy this pedal

we all know what this pedal is trying to be.

It's a mono version of the Boss Dimension C.

It's 30 euros.

It's a non-cheesy chorus.

It really is something special, not as special as the DC-2 but it's fabulous.

I would like one slightly deeper sound but there isn't a bad sound in it.
