MXR M 234 Analog Chorus 5-stars Reviews

Cool Chorus

Well made solid easy to use pedal I like just a touch of chorus but if ye want more it's in there

An astonishing chorus

Lovely sound, warm, versatile, in a solid box.

Hands down favourite chorus pedal

Love this pedal. Very versatile, excellent sound. Sits well in the mix and has great features. There are no cons. This is an amazing chorus at an excellent price

Excellent variation

Really fantastic for subtle pad sounds if you turn the level to about 3 o'clock! I don't like mega heavy chorus but this does a great Leslie impression with the bottom three knobs all at 3 o'clock. I like it on my Ibanez rg with single coils and it sounds good on my jazzbox and on my les Paul with BKP stormy mondays pups.

Great investment tho not always on.

Great chorus!

I am not really a modulation effect player, however, I wanted to try out something new to me. Although chorus is a classic type of effect, I never really played one. This little pedal sounds very nice, and can come near a leslie-type of sound if you crank the rate know all the way up, which works quite well with a bit of overdrive. Otherwise, classic chorus sounds I've heard during the years in numerous classic songs, if a classic chorus is what you want, you got it. Handling is easy, has all the knobs I would want in such a thing. Works better with clean guitars, obviously, rather than distorted, however, still is quite musical with moderate drive. Which is great, because I usually don't play clean but always rather crunchy. Built quality seems great, have been using MXR pedals for years (mixed club touring and rehearsal use), not a single problem ever, and I think this one will follow suit as well. Particularly I like that the knobs are heavy to turn, so probably you won't turn a knob by accident - I love this in a pedal as these do get kicked around occasionally. Price is a bit on the high side, however, I wouldn't say it is overpriced - it's okay, but if you are on a budget probably a more suitable option can be found.

Good product!

Very simple and good pedal. I use it for electric bass and it works really nice. Not the cheapest, but worth the price. Recommend!

Great chorus

Great chorus with all the knobs one could ever want in a pedal like this. Can do anything from deep and wet Nirvana tone to more subtle stuff. The settings on the pedal are easy to use, but the manual has some examples on how to get different tones out of the pedal if needed. The pedal feels sturdy and looks visually appealing. The blue “on”-light in the middle is extremely bright, which is fun until you want to change the settings in a dark room. Also the power input is oddly on the right side. Apart from the nitpicking it is great, but a bit pricey pedal.

AMAZING

Simply amazing. Simple, easy to use and amazing sounding pedal.

Very good sound

If you want a clear, rich chorus sound effect, than this is certainly a very good choice. I had tried the EH Clone, sent it back since it was giving me a distorted sound. This work perfectly and as I expected.

yes

i love this pedal, good contender with BOSS

Nice chorus

Very nice warm chorus. Cover a lot of fields.

Not invasive. Higly suggested.

The perfect chorus

This is the perfect chorus pedal to use either in front of in the loop of an amp. The controls are amazingly versatile, varying from subtle to extreme which is always good. The low and high knobs are also great for creating sparkling cleans. Would definitely recommend.

Great Chorus Pedal!

I've noodled with a few chorus pedals in my time, some great...others less so.

The MXR M234, I'm happy to say, is great. The control over your sound is immense and you can achieve some great sounds with some twiddling.

From subtle to sweeping, it does it all.

It's built like a tank which is good for the gigging guitarist.

Overall, very happy with it on all fronts. I'd recommend to others who are looking for a good chorus and have the money to spend. If not, EHX Small Clone is a good alternative though you have limited control.

Versatile and good sounding

This is a great sounding chorus and the controls gives you a lot of tonal options to shape the type of chorus you want. You can go from very subtle "reverbish" type of chorus to way more than I would ever use. I also found that if I turn down both the depth and rate then it will slightly color the sound, in a good way. Almost like a good clean boost can.

I bought this because I got hooked on the Zakk Wylde chorus from MXR but I'm not very keen on signature products and after some research I found out that this is the exact same pedal but with a different paint job.

As far as quality its built like a tank like most MXR pedals. Tried and true. As with most pedals with blue LEDs you will definitely not have any problem seeing if its on...

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
