Danelectro chorus

One thing that I noticed is that many chorus pedals make the swirling sound even when you arent playing and that higher quality pedals don't. I got to dink around with one for about 5 min. and didn't hear the swirling sound. I was just wondering if anyone out there has or has used a DanElectro Chorus, the new ones(large style). If you have tell me what you think of it and stuff like that.

I don't have any Danelectro pedals, but since no-one else has replied, I can try to explain one of the features you mention. Cheap pedals simply 'turn down' the effect when you swith them OFF. There is often a little bit of the effect still present in the output signal even when you don't want it. A feature that some manufacturers call 'true bypass', uses a switch to route the signal straight from the IN jack to the OUT jack, so there is no residual effect leaking into the signal.
