Which of these two pedals it's better to play the RHCP's song? What chorus pedal have you?

I use the CE-5 because I can run it out to two seperate amps. I think it is one of the better chorus pedals out there.
1962 Strat - Sunburst
1965 Jaguar - Fiesta Red
2005 Strat Amvintage 1962- Fiesta Red w/ matched headstock
2007 Jag Amvintage 1962- Ice Blue w/ matched headstock
2007 Strat Amvintage 1962- Sunburst
2007 Tele Amvintage 1962- Antique Burst
2008 Squier Strat- Sunburst
2008 Firebird Custom Shop, Black and Chrome w/ matched headstock
2010 MJT S-Style Clone - a clone of my 1962, made so I wouldn't have to worry about theft of my original.

I'd say personally the small clone would be better for the RHCP style. I have an old Arion chorus and i love it
It's like you're going into the fourth dimension. It's pure energy

I use for recording the Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble or the DOD FX65 Stereo Chorus. When I play live I use the EHX Small Clone and this pedal is really incredible and easy to use. Ok, it sucks that you can't do stereo things but you come the sound of the Chili recordings very near. For a really good Frusciante tone (Catholic School Girl Rule, Soul To Squeeze, Under The Bridge, and so on) I use the following settings:

Rate: 12 o'clock
Depth: knob on the under setting

That pedal rocks and with a Strat and a Marshall you rule da world ;)

Before I forget: I personally don't like the EHX Nano Clone. There's a little volume drop when you turn it on and the sound is much more metallic like the EHX Small Clone! But this is my own sentiment :)

Thanks to all. I'll buy the Small Clone, maybe. :)

The Small Clone has done it for me, I don't think I'll buy another chorus pedal in the future. If you are searching for coming close to John's CE-1, the Small Clone is the most affordable option and it sounds great. Above it all, it's an analog chorus that will always deliver, no matter what. I am really happy with this pedal and it cost me under $100, plus it's great for playing Nirvana.
