My current chorus pedal is a TC Electronic Dreamscape (its a John Petrucci sig pedal with chorus/ flanger/ vibrato/ and tone print abilities). Anyways, for a long time now, I’ve been less than impressed with it and would like to upgrade my chorus pedal. I’m curious about the Boss Dimension waza craft. Has anyone here used one? Are they any good? What other pedals should I be looking at? Fwiw, I want some lush/ hifi chorus and some 80’s od tones (evh/ lynch kind if stuff). The less complicated the pedal, the better.

Thanks and what other pedals should be in my radar to check out?
 
I tried both the Dimension C and the Waza CE2 and ended up buying the CE2. It can just cover way more ground and there is really not a bad sound to be had. The only thing I’ve noticed is that it is a tiny weeny bit louder when it’s on as opposed to the dry signal. I run it in the loop of my 5150 so I don’t know if the same thing would happen if you run it out front.

Cheers

Look at the cmattmods chorus. I absolutely love mine. It's basic as it gets, but the controls have a huge range which is nice for me. $80 used from reverb.
 
I love me some Chorus pedals, lol. I don't have a DC-2w, but I have a TC Electronic Third Dimension, which is a cheaper clone. It does a good job at that 80's processed sound, but it can be a bit much with gain since there is no mix control. It sounds great clean though.

This is kind of an odd suggestion, but after 10+ Chorus pedals, my favorite has to be the Digitech Hardwire CR-7. It is the pedal that made me realize I was looking in the wrong place by buying analog Chorus pedals. I needed a digital 8-voice Chorus for those late 80s / early 90s tones. This is one of the few pedals with digital multi-voice chorus. I love the sound of this pedal for clean and gain sounds. It even made me buy a Rocktron Intellifex last week cause I love that 8-voice Chorus :D

One of the only other pedals I know of that has multi-voice chorus is the Source Audio Gemini. I haven't tried one, but the videos sound great. It has a quad (4-voice) chorus.
 
I really like the MXR Black Label Chorus. Great pedal for cheap!
 
I own both the Boss CE-2 for the mono chorus sound into the front end of an amp and the Rocktron Intellifex for the 8 voice chorus/delay sounds. I'm currently using the Fractal Audio FX-8 with the chorus that's in it. I'm not sure what chorus that I'm using on the FX-8. I like the Yamaha UD Stomp delay that was designed with Allan Holdsworth. It had the 8 voice chorus & delay sounds that he was after.

It's the same as the MXR M234 Analog Chorus (the light blue one), great sound, but it loses some high-end and the buffer sucks.
Was very apparent in the bypassable loop of my EVH 5150III.
I now use a Mooer Ensemble King (CE-2 clone with mix/level control).
