tc electronic 3rd Dimension Chorus

Quite a good Dimension C clone, with a few great set-and-forget sounds, simple and useful, sounds great with distortion, too. A total steal for the price. My few objections are: 1) I wish it had a smaller footprint, 2) having LEDs on the switches would be nice, 3) I wish the footswitch was better, feels a bit flimsy (it's not like the real "loud click" hard switch type) and 4) although it feels solid like a tank, quality control should be better - the 1st button on my unit is a bit more prominent and is not on the same height as the three other. I opened the housing and tried pushing it back in, but couldn't get the desired result so I left it as it is fearing it may break.

This is a nod to the classic Boss Dimension-C used on many famous 80s tunes. The style and concept is the same, but the sound however is not.

There are 4 buttons going from mild to a more intense, chorus, but nothing gets out of control or "seasick" and all presets are usable. You can also combine the settings to get a total of 16 sounds. The most useful thing is being able to push a button for a predefined preset. This means you don't have to dial sounds in, but on the other hand it gives you less control and you are limited to the settings as defined.

Overall you get a range of bucket brigade style chorus sounds, but there are no depth or speed controls. The sounds themselves are not as lush as you get on the original Boss pedal, but then that is 5x more expensive. For the price it's a good pedal with excellent build quality that will give you some of those 80s vibes.

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

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.
