The jx8p gets a lot of flack, but I love mine, and I think a large part of why is the chorus. I've never played on any of the classic 80s Rolands, but I assume they have the same or highly similar chorus.
I know TAL has a software emulation, which sounds good, but not magical. To me, the chorus in the jx8p takes the kinda thin and muddy sounding oscillators and infuses so much richness and complexity. It's not only the warm stereo smudge I associate with chorus, it also gives so much body. Less smudge and more like a cascading river.
I would love to have an effect box capable of that to use with my moderns synths, like my minilogue XD and prophet rev2, whose digital choruses I've never gotten to sound as good.
In the sea of chorus pedals and plugins out there, has anyone any tips on chorus pedals that sound similar to the Roland 80s chorus?
Sometimes I wonder if I could pay someone to slay my jx8p and only extract the chorus, modding it with input and outputs in a box
