MXR M 234 Analog Chorus Reviews

Warm chorus

It is a very warm chorus. 5 knobs let me control what I need to control but at the same time easy to get a good sound out of, you can get very subtle lush chorus effect as well as wobbly seasick sounds. I like the fact that it doesn't have any knob for selecting e.g. 80's chorus or something like that, just straightforward dialing.

One small thing I like is that the on/off footswitch is nice and easy to press even if playing barefoot (unlike e.g. the switch on the TC Electronics pedal) without it feeling flimsy. Low noise = good!. Will eat battery fairly quickly, so recommend getting a standard 9DC power supply or some sort of power hub. I use the Harley Benton Power Plant and that works well.

Warm and lush

Unboxing, this pedal was smaller and lighter than I expected, which is nice as it doesn't take up much pedalboard space. Despite this, the construction still feels very solid and I shouldn't think it would be less than tank-like.

The chorus effect itself is very warm thanks to its analogue circuitry, and has a much more natural, sparkling feel than other chorus pedals I've used. An added bonus is the inclusion of EQ knobs, which allow you to change the tone of the chorus with ease so that it can sit back in the mix or sound very bright. The Low knob can also warm up the sound of single coil pickups when pushed up.

No noise that I can hear and nice to include the option of stereo output.

Great

There are five knobs on this pedal: Rate, level, depth, low and high. Low and High are obviously self-explanatory, but as for the rest: Level is the Volume, Rate is the speed and Depth is overall intensity. This is all explained in the manual, which keeps everything simple and to the point. There are also two output jacks - Mono and Thru. Mono is the regular one, THRU is for stereo mode. I have never used stereo mode, so I can't really comment on it. Five knobs means more twiddling, but it's easy to get a great sound straight out of the box and everything is easy enough to work out

Simply the best!!!

5 knobs with everything you'll need for a chorus...from soft solo effect to almost vibe
