Jim Dunlop MXR Analog Chorus, Blue

Product Information

With this pedal, you are capable of dialing in virtually any type of chorus effect you can think of in a compact and easy-to-operate unit.

Nowadays, most choruses are digital, which carries with it the usual tradeoff of increased flexibility at the expense of often more clinical tones. However, this isn't a given; not only are some digital effects rich and warm, but others emulate vintage units for a specific tone, like the Strymon Deco's tape machine modeling. The first period is known as the "Script period," in reference to the cursive logo on the case. The earliest script logo pedals were made in the basement shop of the MXR founders [5] and the logos were silk screened. These very first pedals can be identified by a slightly larger font "MXR" on the case. Additionally, the Julia V2 features a fully continuous blend control that dials between dry, chorus, and vibrato sounds as well as true bypass switching that preserves your tone when the effect is switched off.

And for those that want a chorus that can go from mild to all-out wild, the Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Analog Chorus Pedal is our most versatile choice. This pedal was famously used by Kurt Cobain as his main chorus unit and you can hear in the grunge anthem Come As You Are (you know the sound!) The CE-2W Waza Craft pedal features a slightly clearer treble, but the textures, tones, and character, as well as the rate and depth settings, are identical to the original CE-2. In short, this is an analog chorus pedal that recreates the originals, all in one single stompbox. 2. Way Huge Smalls Blue Hippo Analog Chorus This superb chorus and vibrato tool requires a standard center-negative 9-volt power supply (30mA minimum; not included) and is a great choice for those that want to have versatility for a great variety of situations as well as deep sonic experimentation. 6. Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Analog Chorus The BOSS CE-2W Chorus Waza Craft pedal re-creates the classic sound of the CE-1 and its successor, the CE-2 using premium all-analog circuitry. Features

A few years ago BOSS launched a premium line of redesigned guitar effects under the label Waza, which means art and technique in Japanese. Waza Craft pedals are aimed to be idealized versions of the originals, offering the same sonic character but with less noise and a more consistent tone. Jim Dunlop acquired the MXR brand in 1987 and continues the pedal line of original MXR classics, such as the Phase 90 and Dyna Comp, as well as modern pedals like the Carbon Copy and Fullbore Metal. Dunlop has also added a line dedicated to bass effects boxes, MXR Bass Innovations, which has released the Bass Octave Deluxe and Bass Envelope Filter. Both pedals won Editor Awards in Bass Player Magazine and Platinum Awards from Guitar World Magazine. The MXR Custom Shop is responsible for recreations of vintage models such as the hand-wired Phase 45, as well as doing limited runs of pedals such as the Custom Comp. In addition to the vibrato switch, this fantastic pedal also features a true hard-wire bypass switching, which better preserves the integrity of your signal when disengaged. 3. MXR M234 Analog Chorus The Series 2000 was a complete rework of the Reference and Commande lines of pedals. They were higher quality pedals, with electronic FET switching and dual LED indicators. They had a contoured, all-metal chassis and an easily removable battery. They had a fully rubberized bottom and were remote-controllable. Most of the pedals had dual outputs with distinctly different sounds. The CE-1 Chorus Ensemble was the first BOSS pedal, and its original sound is still sought after by some detail-oriented guitarists today, 40 years after it was released.The BOSS effects in one. It features the sound of the CE-1 (a true standard setter for analog chorus stompboxes) and the CE-2. On the other hand, the Rate knob adjusts the speed of the chorus and its presence in the mix. The more you crank it, the more prominent and more swirly will the effect and the tone become. The Depth switch controls the intensity level of the chorus effect with the higher option giving you significantly more pitch modulation, while the lower switch is more shallow and mellow. The Ibanez Chorus Mini is smaller than most other options featured here and is known for its deep dimensional sound. When set at the proper rate and depth settings, the Chorus Mini is capable of approximating the sound of a well-recorded Leslie speaker. Analog chorus pedals offer a unique sound and vibe that is preferred by many players. They come in different configurations, sizes, and with different features, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
