If you decide to use your chorus pedal for recording purposes, you have two options. Firstly, you could simply send the output of the pedal directly into your audio interface, and then send your guitar into the pedal’s input. This method ensures that the chorus interacts with your instrument in the cleanest possible way, with very little color or alteration occurring. It also gives you more flexibility when it comes to mixing your recording. 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.

But what is the LoFi machine? it is a pedal that reduces the sample rate and depth, with a range from 60Hz all the way up to 31250Hz And, 5bit all the up to 16 bits parameter for controlling the depth of the sample... Thus, resulting bit-crusher type of sound. The LoFi Machine has three knobs along with a 3-way toggle switch. The three knobs on this pedal include:

The Mooer has the same controls as the Boss however, it is missing an extra mode. This is the "Enhance" mode. If I'm honest, I'm glad Mooer didn't add this as part of the clone. I tend to find this mode on the Boss AC-2 pretty much useless. Take a look at the video below which does a comparison between the Mooer and the Boss. By watching it, you really get to see the tonal differences between these two. When it comes down to it, I have a tough time choosing which one I prefer. I like the sounds of both. Each of the controls installed on this analog chorus and vibrato pedal is connected to a small section of digital circuitry. This doesn’t affect the analog signal path of the pedal, but it opens up many more possibilities that can only be produced by digital technology. There’s also a trio of switch controls that allow you to tap out the tempo of the vibrato, transform the waveform properties of the effect or cause it to warp beyond recognition. The first is that the Mooer pedals have very similar coloring to the original pedals from which they based on. There's no real scenario where one can justify the price of the Woolly Mammoth when the Mooer Fog does literally exactly the same thing. However, even though the Mooer fog is definitely more affordable, it's hard for me to find a need (besides for if I were the bass player in a Muse cover band) to buy or make use of this pedal. It's worth pointing out that the Zvex has a built-in gate which can be engaged by playing with the "pinch" knob. I'm almost certain the Mooer doesn't have this gate function although I could be very very wrong.

Q: The "Q" knob is quite misleading but it basically just lets you play with how intense you want the wah effect to be. This knob initially led me to believe that the Funky Monkey was a clone of the EHX Qtron pedal. Which is actually pretty plausible come to think of it now, seeing as though the Qtron is also an automatic wah pedal. In this ultimate guide, I’m going to describe every detail regarding chorus pedals, starting from the basics and moving into more advanced territory later on. After reading the next section, you’ll have a grasp on the chorus, and be in a position to identify the perfect pedal for your requirements. What is Chorus and How is it Produced? Boss DM-2 is definitely one of the most classic Boss guitar effects pedal from the early days of the compact stompboxes. This Boss DM-2 is still an exceptionally sought after pedal. Especially due to the fact that Boss stopped making them for a very long time. It is only now in recent times that they've reissued these. Before then, it was hard to get your hands on this epic analog delay. That was until Mooer created this great clone. The Ana Echo analog delay is the Mooer mini version of the DM-2 by Boss. These are both analog delays with. However, I'd say that the Boss DM-2 sounds more natural to my ear. There's also a certain organic decay that the Boss has which the Mooer doesn't. This is such a minor detail that most people won't ever notice. The age-old discussion of whether you should go for analog or digital effects pedals is a frequent topic of debate amongst guitarists. Whether a pedal is classed as analog or digital depends on the inner circuitry that is employed by the manufacturer. You could perhaps use this on bass however I would not recommend doing so before doing more research on the topic. In my opinion, I'd recommend going for the SWEEPER pedal, also on this clone list.My Review: Fender’s expertise in the field of guitars and amplifiers is unquestionable, but they are also responsible for some premium effects pedals. Their Bubbler Chorus and Vibrato feature the classic wide-design, simple controls, and numerous tone-shaping possibilities. The beautiful thing about chorus pedals is that they sound equally as good when you use them subtly as they do use more extremely. Chorus tilts your guitar’s tone slightly off-center, giving it more character and warmth. With an all-analog signal path, the Warped Vinyl Hi-Fi can be dialed in to produce a plethora of chorus and vibrato tones. The pedal has rows of rotary knobs across the top of its face. Firstly, the TONE (RAMP) control affects the prominence of the chosen chorus of vibrato. The LAG control is particularly interesting, allowing you to affect the delay time of the chorus and therefore alter its tonal properties, making your instrument sound more bright or transparent. Many players may be able to get away without adjusting those controls during gigs (particularly if they have a certain setting they like, and can simply adjust the larger rate control for variations in sound).

A chorus pedal is a great addition to any guitarist's stompbox collection not only because it is the most popular modulation effect among guitar players, but also because of the depth and texture it gives to one's tone. Many modulation pedals have been produced over the years; and as mini pedals have grown in popularity, mini chorus stompboxes have found their way onto many pedalboards. The Japanese work “Waza” translates as artistry or technique. It’s an appropriate name for this wonderfully-designed chorus pedal. The inner components, such as the transistor and capacitor are of the highest standard, and the circuitry is designed to produce the most authentic and transparent analog effects possible. With dual outputs, you can also use the CE-2W as a signal splitter for a multi-amp setup. Chorus pedals are essential for classic pop, indie, and alternative sounds. But with a plethora of different options on the market, many players feel bewildered and, ultimately, don’t end up using chorus in their boards. The Mooer Ensemble King is a new mini pedal that boasts instant vintage chorus tone without eating up pedalboard real estate – or your wallet. Let’s break this pedal down and find out what makes it one of the best chorus pedals available. FeaturesIf you’ve never heard of this concept before, it may seem a little confusing at first. In reality, it’s pretty simple though. You isolate your guitar or bass’ clean signal and send that to one amplifier, then isolate the wet signal that is affected by your pedals and send that into a separate amplifier. The result is that the signal gets sent straight to the amplifier, and doesn’t mar the performance or clarity of other pedals in any way. The signal remains uncompromised and passes through the circuitry of the effects pedal without coloring the tone or weakening the signal or particular frequencies. Who is this best suited for: Boss stompboxes are known for being durable, solid, and reliable. Therefore, I’d recommend the CE-2W chorus pedal to guitarists who are likely to use the pedal a lot. Touring musicians will know the importance of using well-built and robust pedals due to the inevitable bumps that occur during transportation. Built like a tank, the CE-2W can withstand almost anything.

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. There are a few pedals on the Mooer clone list that are not clones of other pedals. The LoFi Machine happens to be one of these Mooer pedals. If you're wanting a guitar pedal that can achieve the Super Mario theme song sound (and more), then this LoFi Machine is definitely for you. The Eleclady makes for a great clone of this awesome EHX pedal. However, there are definitely some slight tonal differences between these two pedals. You'll find the Mooer Eleclady to give you more top end. Whilst, the Electric Mistress is definitely mellower and more "organic" sounding in terms of analog flanger. One huge and obvious difference between the two is the size difference. The original EHX electric Mistress is absolutely massive and I'd consider it not pedalboard friendly at all. The Mooer, on the other hand, is perfect for the pedalboard. Having said that, Electro-Harmonix does make a newer, and smaller version of the classic Electric Mistress. Flangers work similarly but are slightly more subtle than phaser pedals. Again, the signal is taken, split into a pair of identical copies, then one of them is delayed by no more than 20ms. This results in a slightly more complex harmonic tone being created, with a little saturation occurring too.

General

Who is this best suited for: I’d recommend the MXR M234 Analog Chorus Pedal to guitarists who are fond of vintage chorus tones. A simple and easy-to-operate pedal, it’s ideally suited to those who want to plug in, find the right settings, and start jamming.
