MXR® Analog Chorus

I originally purchased this pedal to keep on with my "Flashback" delay pedal while I did swells and other ambient sounds. It is a great deal for what you get. However, it is not as good at making ambiance as a "Cloud 9" or a "Corona Chorus". The price however, is simply too good to pass up if you have never owned a chorus pedal before. It is definitely professional grade. However discrete it may be, it will liven up your cleans for a warm solo or a lighthearted clean rhythm. I plan on purchasing another chorus pedal down the road, but I am currently very happy with this pedal and will always keep it on one of my boards. Its built like a tank and people know you have good taste when they see this guy on your board. Very small foot print, and there is definitely a wide range of options for your sound with the five knobs. Great decision to buy regardless. Its very musical.

Great chorus sounds and good range of controls. Price is well below boutique models, which in many cases are just trying to sound like what this thing has been delivering for decades. I selected this over other brands because of how it nails sounds both clean (plays well with my compressor, delays, reverb, or alone) and dirty (IMHO this is what really sets it apart). Also, durable and consistent.

One of the 5 classic simple chorus pedals plus the price and MXR build quality makes this a must have for any board. Whether you crank it for that 80s effect or just use a little to thicken up the signal chain it's always a good choice. The easy knobs and durability make it stand out against "fancier" ones in my opinion

This is a solid chorus pedal with nice control options. You can dial in a subtle effect or pipe out watery sounding craziness. I've heard very expensive chorus pedals that both do and don't sound better than this one. If you're in the market for a solid pedal without breaking the bank you would be hard pressed to find another option that's significantly better. I like this pedal, but I don't love it. It's good enough to get the job done and for the price I'm happy enough with it that I'm not going to keep shopping.

I initially gave this pedal a 2 star because when you put it into the fx loop, the volume goes down significantly. Contrary to common wisdom, this modulation pedal works much better before gain or distortion. Not only the volume won't go down, but the headroom and overall quality will improve dramatically. I wonder if it's because analog pedals were designed before fx loop became a thing. Before I had my eyes set on this pedal I had sampled many chorus pedals, analog or digital. I eventually went with this one because this gives you the tone your "guitar heroes" once used. You almost can't put "organic sounding" and "chorus pedal" in the same sentence, but with the MXR you can. Perhaps if you are an ambient guitar player this is not a great option, but otherwise, this is likely the best sounding chorus pedal out there.

Have never been big on analogchorus in the past but this one is excellent!

I spilled a drink on my MXR Micro Chorus and blew it out, and it turned out to be a great thing. Because I never really knew what a legit chorus pedal could do for my sound. The Micro is SO limited, I never really used it because the only available settings were too pronounced. With the Analog, I can get sounds that are subtle and give me just the right amount of color to differentiate one song from another. Or one lead from another. Or whatever the hell I want. The range of options is truly unbelievable, and the tone/sound/feel makes this one of the best pedals i’ve Ever bought.

First things first; Personal preference is a major factor in any piece of musical equipment and I believe there is no one size fits all. Your amp especially and your guitar (mainly its pickups) will transform whatever your adding to it into its own unique sound. That being said, the main reason I enjoy this pedal so much is its great sound quality and its wide control range. You can go from light backing to maxed out chorus that's almost too crazy. Experimentation is key with any effects pedal but I was surprised how quickly you can map out several custom settings to suit your needs. Personally I enjoy the analog stuff. I find they have a tried and tested sound that stays true to your equipment.That's why I think its a great chorus pedal! Jam on everyone!
