The Stereo Chorus delivers lush analog chorus several controls to shape the tone of the effect and preserve low end frequencies.

The EHX Small Clone Chorus is a reissue of the classic analog chorus pedal popularized by Kurt Cobain. Depth and Rate controls create the finest sounds, from clear, rich and dimensional to warm pulsating warbles.

MXR Analog Chorus This all-analog pedal uses bucket-brigade circuitry to create classically lush, liquid textures that you just can’t get with digital circuitry. Rate, Level, and Depth controls, as well as knobs for cutting High and Low frequencies, allow ultimate tone control.

Start with all controls set to 12 o’clock. Turn the effect on by depressing the footswitch. Rotate the DEPTH knob clockwise to increase the intensity of the effect or counterclockwise to decrease it. Rotate the RATE knob clockwise to increase the speed of the chorus effect or counterclockwise to decrease it.

MXR® PHASE 90 The Phase 90 takes you from subtle, spatial shimmer to all-out high velocity swooshing with the twist of a knob. This pedal can be powered by a 9-volt battery, a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the DC Brick™, Iso-Brick™, and Mini Iso-Brick™ power supplies (not included).

How Does A Flanger Work? A flanger works by mixing two identical audio signals together, with one of the signals playing at a slightly slower speed. This creates the effect of two tape recordings playing simultaneously, but with one tape player going slightly slower than the other.

Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Analog Chorus Pedal Features: True bypass keeps your tone intact.

In 1990, after the recording of ‘Bleach’, Kurt Cobain got the pedal that supplied some of the most memorable moments in his career – the Electro-Harmonix Small Clone chorus.

MXR M234 Features In typical MXR fashion, the circuitry is all high-grade with an impressive tone buffer. Moreover, there are two output jacks, which means you can get a stereo effect with two amplifiers or effects chains.

Inside the compact enclosure – which is around half the footprint of a standard MXR pedal – are Phase 90 and Phase 45 circuits for four- and two-stage phasing respectively. The pedal boasts true bypass switching and 9V power supply operation from the included adaptor, too.

Eddie Van Halen
Eddie Van Halen on How He Created His Signature Sound Using MXR’s Phase 90 and Flanger Pedals. Earlier this year, in preparation for the 40th anniversary of MXR, its parent company, Dunlop Manufacturing, took a survey to learn how guitarists perceive the pedal maker.

The level control allows for more subtle chorus presentations. To summarize, and when looking at my experience from the other pedals, in essence what the MXR m234 provides represents the strengths of the many pedals listed above: Simplicity, Adaptability, Range and Variation of Effect, Intensity of Effect.

On top of that, the MXR M234 Analog Chorus features a High and Low EQ setting that is a nice addition for dialing in just the right amount of presence and depth for your instrument.

Back in 1976, Boss launched not only it’s very first pedal, but the very first chorus effect pedal ever. Since then Boss pedals became a legend and hold the highest quality standards. CH-1 is obviously not an exception, but it does stand out from the majority of the Boss product line, as it’s a digital chorus pedal.

Way Huge Blue Hippo Chorus MK II: I wrote the following review when I first got the pedal and added it to my board, NPD: The Way Huge Blue Hippo MK II Review, so I won’t go into much more detail. Positives: Easy to work with, a great range of the effect AND ability to dial in a great many combinations of speed & depth.
