Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Analog Chorus

Great quality and aesthetics, very simple to use; but not limited when it comes to sound. Only con is the clic when you activate the pedal, but it's only when you have just plugged the pedal to AC; just push it on the soundcheck and you won't have any trouble on the show.

This pedal is a staple part of my musical diet, and I love how simple it is. It has one single turn dial, and a switch to turn the full chorus effect on or off. It has a distinct sound I have not heard anywhere else in other chorus pedals.

Chorus love that because it is simple to adjust, and fits fully into everything I need with effects for my guitar solos.

Very rich sounding Chorus pedal. With a good amount of diversity in sound. I tend to use lower settings just to thicken my sound a little and really punch the effect up for creepy, stark sounding Cramps and Dead Kennedy's style riffing. One knob, one toggle, super easy. Oh and I love how EHX pedals look.

i dont know why people just use chorus for clean shit, its all about the Lifeson Rush distorted / fuzz'd chorus sound, man, listen to those power chords, or like how David Gilmour used his Mistress on The Wall and etc. you can make it sound like Nirvana too, but you can also make it have a Leslie Beatles Sgt Pepper's era tone thats unreal with arpeggios. the best chorus pedal in the fuckin world. I also can mimic the vibrato on Born to Run beautifully

I love how simple this pedal is yet how much of a range of sounds you get from it. I personally have the depth switch up and the rate knob at about 1 or 2 o'clock. Sometimes when I want a subtle chorus I'll flick the depth knob down. My only gripe with the pedal is how little resistance there is on the depth switch, doesn't feel very sturdy compared to other switches. Also feel the pedal is fragile compared to any other pedal I've used especially when compared to stuff like a Polychorus or say a Boss stompbox. But it is a great pedal. I'm sure most are used to the sounds you can get as they have probably heard it on stuff by nirvana and various otheres. a great pedal all across the board really

It's not small, but it gives very good and bright chorus sound. It was my first chorus pedal for my bass guitar and I absolutely love it. Not so many options, but it sounds great enough to forget about another knobs.

Great sound for a simple pedal. It is easy to use with a big single knob and a switch.

Little effect but strong. To making sound like Kurt Cobain or John Frusciante. Very well tremolo when the settings are in max. In waiting of the real vintage Electro-Harmonix Polychorus.

This pedal's so great I bought a new one after a stepped on my old one a little too hard. Worth all the praise it gets, but if you're going to get one, either put it further to the top of your board or use some reserve when stomping on it.

I do not know where I got my small clone RI. I don't think it sounds particularly good... not like an old one. Much more brittle. Functional chorus though with a different sound then a boss or Ibanez. SOLD

It's really impressive, that all the good opinions about this pedal were true. Even though it has only one knob and one switch, it's extremely versatile. Want some Beatles-like Leslie tones? No problem. You're after Uni-Vibe sounds of David Gilmour? Here you go. Or maybe you're fan of The Police? Say no more. And we can't forget about this pedal being used by Kurt Cobain on many of Nirvana records, with "Come As You Are" being probably most recognizable. Just set the Depth switch up, Rate knob at 10 o'clock and you get the famous sound.

Lovely pedal. Pretty much Nirvana in a box.

This is a classic pedal and its tone is incredible: I love launching into a bit of "Me vs. Madonna vs. Elvis" at about 11 o'clock with the depth switch up. This having been said, there are more diverse, and maybe just plain better, pedals out there: the JHS Emperor comes instantly to mind. Of course, that pedal is three times the cost. You pays your money and you takes your choice...

Can get any chorus sound I want out of this classic pedal.

Nice sounding chorus, be careful, it tends to pop every firts time you activate.

My chorus

If you only want to buy one Chorus pedal, this ain't it. It does sound good, but it is too simple to fulfil all the jobs you may want a Chorus to cover. I have mine permanently strapped to a synth to thicken things up a bit.

Great for Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and just about any grunge covers. Really helps get that shimmering, watery, Chorus effect. I'd recommend it to anyone, even those that don't play guitar.

I need to reach the word limit but this is the great one of chorus pedals my settings: straight up 12 O'clock

I wanted to get some of that great Joy Division chorused bass sound whilst keeping with a simple to use pedal. Wonderfully I was able to have both in the same unit as Peter Hook uses (the Small Clone and Clone Theory use the same circuitry) and the design sure is easy to use.

I loved this pedal more than life itself. I was devastated when my pedalboard got knocked off of a table backstage and this was destroyed. I plan on getting another one once I have the money.

cheap n great! Though you don't get a lot of control the depth you can easily mod it and put a potentiometer in.

simple to use,,, very unique sound like no other...

I think it has been used for a long time and will never disappear, because it does not !! Great ..... Electro Harmonix

Is a great chorus, absolute lovely sound, just have an issue with the volume which dropped down when activate, but fixed it replacing a 10k resistor on the board with a 6.8k resistor. Honestly is a must have for your pedalboard.

It's an unreal chorus that is best sounding when used on distorted or fuzzy tones, at least for me. You can nail that Alex Lifeson post 1977 Rush sound from Hemispheres and Motion Pictures here. You can also nail the Electric Mistress sound from the Pink Floyd records (the sound of the Mistress on those Wall and Animals records was much more confined and not so swirly and out of control sounding, it would give a truly dated sounding 80s Flanger sound if used stupidly, which Gilmour DID do live a bunch of occasions). But this pedal nails those sounds from the actual records, the refined, yet glowing 3-dimensional sounds. So good for a Leslie Speaker too, it can literally rip off the sound of Paul McCartney and Wings' weird song Loup 1st Indian on the Moon which has an ahead of its time delapidated chorus tone. I doubt ill ever get another chorus ever. I've had it since 2012 and it's lasted me without a single issue. Although it must be said, get an ISPOT battery chain so you can use one of those adapters to the 9volt slot, otherwise you'll be stuck having to use batteries.

I love the deep sound it gives but, when i use it with an overdrive or distortion, either a Fuzz, it shows an unwanted treble sound.

Solid chorus pedal for the price that will give you the same tone as Cobain on Nevermind. Also good for emulating any of the tones of '80s shoegaze as well as The Police.

I have the reissue one from about 2008. I know everyone says that to get the 'Cobain' sound you must have the Depth switch to 'full', but on mine that seems to produce an unusable detuned warble! I keep it on the 'normal' depth and turn the rate up, and that seems to me to be closer. Yes, it's a classic chorus pedal, unmistakeably 'analogue' in character. It doesn't sound as good as the Way Huge Blue Hippo or the Walrus Audio Julia though; those are sweet. On the other hand, it doesn't cost as much!

It's as hissy as anything, too. Go for a BOSS chorus if this bothers you; what you sacrifice in richness you gain in cleanness.
