In the same year (1985), DOD released the FX65. This may be my favorite chorus pedal in my entire collection, which is saying something. Chorus is arguably the least intense of these three popular modulation effects. Although it works in the same way, the difference is caused by the use of pitch-shifting and detuning, which gives the chorus pedals their distinctive, slightly “off” tone. Commonly Found Controls on a Chorus Pedal This pedal is pretty rare. It's from a Japanese company called Guyatone and it is almost a part for part replica of the CE-1. It uses that old original chipset that the MN3OO2 did, and it’s really versatile. I think it has the best ratio of slow to fast, and it never gets unusably crazy. A lot of these choruses have functions you would never use, stuff that makes your guitar sound like a drunk sailor falling in the ocean. This doesn't do that. Every range of every knob is really useful and runs on 18 volts, which means it's better.** Bill Finnegan claimed that the hard-clipping 1N34A germanium diodes are the signature component of the Centaur's sound. However, testing by ear, as well as waveform analysis have since showed that, if anything, the effect of these diodes is marginal.It should be noted that some pedals are heavily influenced by the original, as opposed to being a 100% clone. So for a few of the below pedals, the manufacturer has put their own twist or improvement on it. When the pedal is active, you are notified by a bright LED indicator positioned at the top center of its face. Boasting decent durability, this Gokko Audio pedal is housed in robust metal, and the inputs are solidly installed to improve its longevity. My Review: If there’s one manufacturer who could be considered as the leading pioneers of chorus pedals, it would stompbox experts Boss. They first released the revered CE-1 in the mid-1970s, and since then have gone on to produce some exceptional chorus offerings, like the CE-2. The CE-2W edition builds upon the best features of previous models, retaining the legendary robustness of Boss’ range of effects pedals. When searching for a chorus pedal, you’re likely to notice that they are often grouped with flangers and phasers. As I previously mentioned, all three of these effects are classed as “modulation” effects. Modulation means the clean signal of your instrument is reproduced with slight (or sometimes extreme) differences compared to the original. Chorus pedals with true bypass switching are very common. It’s harder to find one that doesn’t use this technology nowadays. But are there any downsides to true bypass? Some music purists would argue yes, they are unnecessary for guitarists who don’t use many pedals, and with improvements in the designs of the circuitry in most effects pedals, it could be argued that they aren’t required, or that a buffer may provide a better alternative.

If you want a straight-up, easy-to-operate and, most of all, great-sounding chorus pedal, look no further than TC Electronic’s Corona. A pared-down (at least in its looks) take on the company’s legendary – and considerably more expensive and involved – Stereo Chorus Flanger unit, the Corona is a compact digital pedal boasting just four knobs – Speed, Depth, FX Level and Tone, as well as stereo and mono ins/outs. The Lag control determines how much swing each LFO sweep has. When combined with the Depth control, the Lag knob is capable of taking you into a new realm of sound-shaping possibility. The third option utilizes TC’s TonePrint technology – via a USB connection, users can import “custom pedal-tweaks made by top-performing guitarists” into the pedal, or design their own customized chorus effects from scratch with the free TonePrint Editor. Today’s goal is simple. In this article, I want to walk you through the most legendary chorus pedals that were ever made. Easy peasy.Electro-Harmonix has also made a few small power amp pedals for use as a simple guitar amplifier. The EHX 22 Caliber was a 22 watt solid state pedal capable of driving either an 8 ohm or 16 ohm speaker cabinet. It has been discontinued. [13] The 22 Caliber was replaced in the lineup by the EHX 44 Magnum, a similar pedal capable of driving the same speaker load, but at a 44 watt output. [14] The 5MM power amplifier, introduced in 2019, is a similar pedal, with a reduced output of 2.5 watts, but with the ability to run on a common 9-volt power supply, as opposed to the 24-volt supply needed to power the 44 Magnum. Got this pedal to upgrade from a chinese Nux BBD Chorus which sounded too metallic. Was looking for a more lush chorus to play some Manilla Road without collapsing the bank into the infinite layers of the Abyss. Joyo also seems to offer rebranding services, but not as much as Mooer. Ammoon and Harley Benton are rebranded Joyo pedals.
