Harley Benton Classic Chorus 4-stars Reviews

Good chorus, but it has a slight volume boost when turned on.

Good Pedal For the Price

Wanted Chorus Pedal, but did not want to spend much as I am primarily a drummer, not a guitar player.

Very pleased with the quality and sound, especially when considering the price. Recomended.

Mellow Chorus

If you want a nice mellow chorus effect that does what it says on the tin, look no further. Only reason for 4 star rating is the knobs below 11 o'clock do nothing.

Also, quite strangely, my pedal seemed to boost my volume by about 2dB each time it was kicked on. I loved this feature for RHCP songs but it might not be a great feature for everyone.

Great pedal

Great pedal. Works well together with distorsion if you want a nice sounding feedback. No complaints at all.

Make up your mind first!

Seriously, think twice before you buy this pedal. It is by no means bad - the case is really durable, no problems with either the switch or the knobs. Also, TRUE BYPASS is awesome for the price. However, it adds A LOT of treble when it's on. Which contributes to general brilliance but makes the output much higher that the source signal.

In the end, it's good when you have it on all through the song (of for recording) but be careful when switching it on in the middle of a song.

Classic Chorus

I am buying more pedals to try them out and just going cheap. The reviews for this were positive and so I bought it. The pedal is fine, sturdy and pretty neat looking. I do not use it too much but it is fun to mess around with it. For the price it is perfect for how I want to use it and hopefully I will find it more useful in the future.

Good Sound for the price

Its an awsome pedal nicely built with a good sound!

Just Classic

You just can't get a bad sound out of this pedal, truly the controls are set, I would say within the 'sweet' spot of a classic chorus. So even with the rate and width at full it's a usable effect. From light 'chorusing which just lets your chords 'sparkle' to heavy or maybe better described as 'light flanging' at the top end, but all usable. from Dave Gilmore to Neal Schon lead tones, just great stuff. Price just makes you smile all the more when you hear the sounds. Robust little case. wouldn't like to test the chicken head knobs for strength if they got knocked, but I try to keep my pedals on a board and cased anyway. And 'true' by pass, not just effect off. Great! Quick edit The above was with my (shall we say) ST style guitar, single coil PUP's, when I switched to humbuckers I felt that the sound was...... Not muted,I think dark is the word I'm looking for. I personally felt the classic chorus would benefit from a 'tone' control for HB PUP's for the best results. I kept wanting to turn the treble up. Could be just me.

does what it says

classic chorus sound

very easy to use

sounds like any other chorus with same amount of features

I don't dig the three bodybuilders on the casing but what can i do

Not true bypass , so look out

you wil have a higher output even at ground zero (all pots down) and once turned on it will still give you the classiky chorus sound , which is alright if u want it

buttons are not that milk white , more like cheap plastic colour but doesn't matter a

same sound as a lot of double-the-price pedals

Not perfect but nice for the price

This pedal does have a nice warm chorus effect and I wanted to like this pedal a lot but it had three issues: first, it lowers the signal between the guitar and amp a bit more than a single pedal should and rolls off the high end of the tone when in bypass; second, it adds a bit more white noise than I would expect - not just as a general hum as it is otherwise quiet - but to the background of the chorus effect. I didn't notice this at first as I originally set it up in my pedal board going through a loud and somewhat noisy tube amp. But it's quite present when isolated going through a clean channel on my solid state practice amp; third; it wasn't able to run at full power when using a battery (new 9V with full charge). The biggest issue for me though was the volume/tone when on bypass. Given the price though, its an alright pedal.

harley benton classic chorus

again i bought this classic chorus to replace one i had a boss one lets just say iwhen i used the boss pedal i would loose a lot of bass through my strings when i switched it off the sound would be fine so i thought id give this pedal a try with its true bypass feature well it doesnt have all the features that the boss has but i prefer this one the sound is much better no major tone bass loss which i like the switch is strong i like it and il be using it for the price its a steal

a very good chorus, at a very cheap price point

Okay, I have some lovely old analog chorus pedals: Original Boss CE-2, Ross and Arion. All the right models. I did a massive compare and contrast with all these boxes. Now this little chap is obviously copy of the Boss CE-2. The pot values are very similar - although this actually can do some more extreme settings (the Boss is quite tame overall). Now maybe the Boss is a bit better.... but it's pretty minimal!! There really is very little in it. I personally prefer the pedals with more extreme settings (like the Arion) - as they do a good faux-Leslie sound. But if you want a classic, warm, analog chorus sound - this little blue box has it!!
