I'm a big chorus fan, and am continually surprised there aren't more of them as stand alone modules in Eurorack. The most famous chorus was originally shipped in the Roland Juno line (6, 60, and 106), and is what's replicated in these two modules I'm looking at today.
(Here's an earlier comparison that includes the Feedback, G-Storm Electro, and Audio Damage modules: youtube.com/watch?v=jh8CKJ2XZsQ)
The Feedback Chorus 106 has been out for a while, and is now discontinued
because they can no longer get some of the NOS (new old stock) parts they use.
The SoundForce uChorus is brand new, and has substituted an STM and some other new bits to make up for the MN3101 driver IC that's no longer available.
Both are following the original circuit behavior as closely as possible.
I compare them here to see if one is better than the other.
Spoiler: I barely hear a difference between modes or modules.
Can you? Let me know in the comments.
00:00 Intro
00:20 The basics
01:40 uChorus I+II mode
03:03 106 Chorus overdrive
04:28 Long/pad notes
06:41 Harmonized
