Some larger, more extensive pedals, like multi-effects processors, require 12 volt or 18 volts of power and are rarely capable of being powered by batteries. Chorus pedals, however, don’t usually need high amounts of power, especially if they are single-effect producing pedals. 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. Additionally, the GK-23 uses a BDD chip to produce high quality, authentic-sounding chorus. It does a great job of producing very little noise and has a true bypass design to keep your tonal integrity firmly intact. LP (Low Peak): The Low peak setting works more like a boost. Some pedal enthusiasts say that it works like a clean boost. But, to my ear, there's definitely grit to the sound, even when used as a boost. 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.

Who is this best suited for: If you’re on a tight budget, the Dandelectro D5 Fab Chorus pedal is probably your best bet. It performs very well considering the cost, and with its eccentric, sci-fi inspired design, it’s a great choice for musicians who love to stand out. Due to the chorus not having any timing-based qualities, it also interacts well with delays and reverbs. Dynamic-taming effects like compressors or EQ are also highly compatible with chorus pedals and can be used effectively to control the volume or iron out any tonal inconsistencies that the pedal may produce. 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. The ZVEX Effects Vexter Instant Lo-Fi can be powered using either a 9 volt DC battery or a dedicated power supply. It’s has a small LED indicator to let you know when the pedal is on or off, and utilizes true bypass switching for tonal preservation.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. Features Welcome to my full and comprehensive Mooer Clone List. Mooer Audio is a pedal company that produces a range of clone pedals. However, in recent times, Mooer has begun making original pedals, along with their famous and popular Mooer clone pedal range. These span almost all the different types of guitar effects. And, at very reasonable prices too. Making them affordable to guitarists on every budget. You'll even see some well known guitarists using the Micro Mooer pedals. There a lot of lists on the internet about this topic. However, none review them as in-depth as this.

There are quite a few Mooer pedals which are clones of delay pedals such as the Reecho and Ana Echo. However, this echolizer is the one Mooer delay pedal that stands out the most to me. Some guitar players believe that this Mooer Echolizer should only be used through your amps effects loop. I tend to find this true, especially if you're looking to get the best out of the echo pedal. Having said that, I don't believe that it is fully necessary to have to put it through the loop. I use a pedalboard with my delays and modulation hitting the front of the amp. This has been on my board and I did not experience any problems running it straight into my amp. Mooer Echolizer vs Ana Echo The Mooer Ensemble King analog chorus is perfect for beginners and professionals alike if they wish to experiment with the chorus effect, or simply try one out to see if they like the modulation effect before spending on higher-end chorus pedals. However, the Mooer Ensemble King also provides excellent sound quality and a textured, clear chorus sound that might even secure its spot in your rig after realizing that it does just as well as the expensive models out there. In the early days of effects pedals, electronic noise and signal issues were rife. Most pedals would cause diminishment of the quality of your tone, signal strength, and commonly, the high-end frequencies of your instrument. It was an issue that guitarists simply had to live with until true bypass switching was discovered. My Review: The Ibanez Mini Chorus pedal us a compact offering that boasts simple operation and won’t take up excess space on your pedalboard. It is based around a large rotary knob positioned in the center of the pedal, which controls the speed of the chorus effect.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. If there color, layout, and font weren't enough of a giveaway, I can surely tell you that the Mooer Hustle Drive is a clone of the OCD overdrive pedal by OCD. In my opinion, the Hustle Drive by Mooer Pedals is not quite as good as the original OCD Pedal, but I'll get into that a little further down. My Review: ZVEX Effects’ Instant Lo-Fi Junky Vexter pedal is exactly what you’d expect from this experimental manufacturer – otherworldly, strange, and brilliant! It’s a unique pedal that squashes and warps your guitar signal with rhythmic modulation and sharp, vintage-style compression.

If you're wondering if the Mooer Blade distortion is really a clone of the massive EHX Metal Muff. you can be at ease knowing that it is indeed a clone of this very pedal. In my opinion, it is nothing short of genius how Mooer managed to turn such a large pedal into such a mini clone. There does, however, seem to be a fair bit of debate surrounding the fact that the Mooer Blade could be a Boss Metal Zone. The consensus does seem to learn more towards the Mooer Blade being an Electro-Harmonix clone. For the sake of this Mooer clone list, and due to the fact that my knowledge and experience of metal pedals is limited. I'm going to compare the Mooer Blade and the EH Metal Muff. Explaining this 3-way toggle switch, and this auto wah pedal, in general, is very tough. As describing an auto-wah is immensely difficult to put into words. However, the video below should give you more than a sufficient look at this pedal as well as the tones you can achieve from it. Mooer Funky Monkey For Bass? You can use the trio of transformative controls to tweak the performance of this chorus pedal. The Rate control ramps up the speed of the warbling effect and is very useful for creating a rhythmic, vibrato-style chorus. The Level control allows you to tame the dynamics of the M234, ensuring that its volume matches that of your other pedals. Finally, the Depth control completely alters the tonal makeup of the effect.

Sorry

I also discovered that the Mooer Blue Comp uses an Optical TA7136 chip. Which, if I'm not mistaken is the same chip found in the Boss CS-1 It’s quite common to find that modulation pedals also can produce multiple effects. Combination pedals usually feature phasers, vibrato, and flangers, because all of these effects fall under the modulation category and use similar mechanisms for their production. Finally, moving the knobs to the top delivers a dose of Leslie-style rotating speaker sound without overwhelming or choking your original signal. Even at the heaviest settings, each player’s individual tone and style still unmistakably shines through. My Review: The GK-23 is an affordable chorus pedal with a stylish design and minimalistic controls. It’s the type of pedal that does what is required without creating any unnecessary complications. Compact and convenient, the pedal has two core controls that form its foundation. 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.

The inner circuitry of the Ensemble is 100% analog. This ensures that the chorus tones it produces sound authentic and preserve the natural color of your guitar’s sound. With true bypass switching, there’s no danger of your signal being compromised when the pedal isn’t active. The Mooer Eleclady is a clone of the Electric Mistress by Electro-Harmonix. And, it manages to clone this legendary flanger in a fraction of the size of the original. The Mooer Eleclady, with its small and sleek design, offers three knobs as well as a 2-way toggle switch. The knobs include: Although multi-effect chorus pedals undeniably provide you with more sound-tweaking options, it’s worth noting that because the attention of the manufacturer has been dispersed more widely, the individual chorus effect may not be of the same quality as a pedal that focuses solely on that effect. 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.Rate: as the name would suggest, controls the rate of the wah. Turn to the right and the sweet speed is increased. 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 Who is this best suited for: I’d recommend the Fender Bubbler to guitarists who want to add some psychedelic flair to their tone. It’s also a great choice for those who play a lot of chords because the gentle rhythmic chorus and vibrato it produces add another element to the grouped notes.
