Electro- Harmonix 'Small Clone'

Product Information

True bypass pedals include a special form of switching which essentially routes a separate signal through the inner circuitry of the effect pedal, or sometimes directly from the input to the output. Why is this necessary? Well, this method requires a double-pole/double-throw switch, which is a mechanism that allows the effect to bypass the main circuit of the pedal when it is switched off using a footswitch. There’s also a three-way toggle that lets the user choose between three chorus types, including TriChorus (which uses three stereo choruses with various offsets to produce what TC describes as a unique, very broad and lush chorus) and, yes, Stereo Chorus Flanger-style effects. You won’t notice any harsh artifacts or metallic out-of-phase sounds – just smooth, rich analog chorus. The CE-2W Waza Craft pedal features a slightly clearer treble, but the textures, tones, and character, as well as the rate and depth settings, are identical to the original CE-2. In short, this is an analog chorus pedal that recreates the originals, all in one single stompbox. 2. Way Huge Smalls Blue Hippo Analog Chorus

Chorus pedals fall into the category of modulation-based effects. Similar in nature to flangers and phasers, these pedals add color to your guitar’s tone using certain processing methods. There are few effects as unique and recognizable as the chorus. TLDR, the SCH-1 is basically a CE-2 topology modified to be a lot more swingy like a Leslie circuit, with added tone control from a Big Muff fuzz. Following the departure of his partner, Matthews was introduced to inventor and electric engineer Robert Myer through IBM colleagues. Together they designed a circuit to create a distortion-free sustain. A simple line booster used by Myers in testing to preamplify the guitar's signal was also manufactured from 1969 as the Linear Power Booster ( LPB-1), and has continued production in present day. [4] First products [ edit ]There are five presets which you can call up instantly, but this list expands to a lofty 127 if you use MIDI or connect the pedal to a computer running the Eventide Device Manager software.

My Review: MXR’s range of brilliant pedals spans across a wide variety of effects. The high-end sound their pedals produce is largely down to the quality of the inner components of the pedal. The M234 is their flagship chorus offering. There's quite a bit of gain on tap, and that, combined with the hard-clipping diodes means the Centaur can hit distortion territory if required. At the maximum settings on the gain control, it's an almost square-wave distortion, caused by clipping inside the op-amp. Most players, however, value its touch-sensitivity and run it at much lower-gain settings.
