OK I updated this comparison with the Nomad Chorus from the Blue Tube bundle that I am demoing right now. I really love the Nomad Chorus it sounds very analog and warm.
Guitar with bridge pickup.
1 Nomad BT
2 Nomad BT
3 Kjaerhus GMO-1
4 UAD Boss CE-1
5 Kjaerhus GMO-1
Again, I did not try to make them sound the same, I just turned the knobs until I heard something I liked.
Coming soon the Dimension D from UAD.
I only own the Kjaerhus GMO-1 and I am not trying to prove anything here so just take it as a fun comparison.
All of these plugs are great and I like all of them.
Here is the dry sample:

All the samples have the same echo and plate reverb on them.

Ah, OK. I thought why your 'Dry' sample is without any processing then.

This is my chain
Guitar to ART "so called tube" mic pre amp
SPDIF out from the ART into the computer.
Then we have GATE, EQ (6dB boost at 100Hz) a little compression with Gain makeup (all part of Kjaerhus GAC-1)
Then we have delay (long delay short tail, like 2-3 echoes)
Then the Chorus.
Then the UAD-1 Plate 140 reverb.
Finally we have T-Racks on the master (this my usual setup, every track gets these)
The difference is in the internal delay settings (also phase and panning) that every Chorus has.
You can also notice immediately that the Kjaerhus GMO-1 is extremely wide and open, none of the others have this.
The Nomad on the other hand has a lot of bass.
No matter what setting you use the Nomad will always have big bottom end.
The Dry sample gets all these less the Delay and the Plate140.
