Chorus Pedals

Chorus pedals will take anyone back to the sound of the ‘80s, or certainly anyone that remembers it! Designed to enhance your sound using modulation. The Chorus pedal delivers a lush "doubled" tone akin to that of a 12-string guitar.

These therefore work particularly well on clean amp settings. Some players have been known to use them with overdrive and distortion effects, namely Dean DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots!

There are plenty of options too, analogue chorus pedals are known for providing bold “vintage” tones while their digital counterparts tend to sound clearer and are more tweak-able. There’s a raft of companies that build chorus effects too. With the big-hitters like Boss, walrus audio, Strymon and Electro-Harmonix remaining as popular as ever, producing the Small Clone, CE-2W and more. You can also look to brands such as TC Electronic, Tone City and Landlord FX make great affordable chorus pedals.
