[Carefully Selected] 7 Recommended Chorus Effects [Type and Connection Order]

Strymon's Ola is a chorus and vibrato pedal that uses high-quality dBucket technology. It has three modes (chorus, multi, and vibrato) that allow for a wide variety of sound making. The Speed, Depth, Mix, Tone, and Ramp/Env controls allow for detailed sound creation. In addition, the Favorite switch allows you to save and recall your favorite settings. It also features high-quality stereo input and output, making it suitable for use in the studio or live.

[Major functions and features]
■Three Chorus Types
Ola Chorus features three types of chorus: "chorus," a traditional single delay line; "multi," a three-layer delay line that is popular in studios; and "vibrato," a digital reproduction of a vintage vibrato circuit.

■TONE, MIX control
Equipped with a TONE control that adjusts the high frequencies of the effect sound, and a MIX control that adjusts the depth of the effect sound.

■Analog Dry Mix
The input signal (guitar signal, etc.) is not converted to analog, but mixed with the delay signal as analog. The analog signal path uses a high-end HiFi level mixer circuit with an internally boosted analog power supply, so the original sound is not compromised.

■ FAVORITE Foot Switch
Press and hold the switch to save the control knob settings to memory, then press the footswitch to turn it on (the LED will light up) to recall the previously stored parameters.

■Ultra-low noise, high performance 24-bit 96kHz A/D & D/A converters
A high-speed, high-performance DSP circuit is housed in a compact pedal.

■ Stereo IN Stereo OUT
The unit has unbalanced mono terminals for the left and right channels. It can be used as a stereo guitar effect, and also supports +4dB signals, so you can connect it to the insert of a mixer and use it like a rack mount effect.

The Julianna Deluxe from Walrus Audio is an expanded version of the Julianna chorus, a stereo chorus/vibrato pedal. It offers a wide range of modulation effects, including Rate, Depth, Lag, and DCV (Dry-Chorus-Vibrato) controls, as well as a tap tempo function and a random LFO mode. It also features an expression pedal input for real-time parameter adjustment.

■Div Switch
It can be scaled to quarter notes, triplets, and eighth notes according to the tempo of the tap switch.

■3 types of LFO waveforms
In addition to the rounded "sine wave" and sharp "triangle wave" that were also in Juila, a "random wave" has been added. As the name suggests, the random wave sways irregularly, creating an unpredictable vibrato sound.

■Tap Tempo Control
The LFO rate can be set not only by the rate knob but also by the tap switch.

■ Stereo Input/Output
Equipped with mono and stereo jacks for IN and OUT.

■LAG
The LAG knob sets the pre-delay of the LFO modulation, which at max creates a noisy, nauseating detuned sound.

■DCV BLEND
Sets the dry-wet ratio. Fully left for a dry sound, 12 o'clock for a traditional chorus, and fully right for vibrato.

■ Extensions
External tap tempo switch and expression pedal can be connected.

■ Drift function
The secondary function "DRIFT" slowly accelerates and decelerates the LFO rate. It creates an effect like a small robot moving the rate knob inside the pedal, and when combined with a random wave, it creates a "seasick" sound.

TRIAL's PRIME CHORUS is an analog chorus pedal that can be operated with a simple two-knob (Speed, Depth). It features a warm chorus sound that adds a natural spaciousness to the guitar tone. Its compact design makes it easy to incorporate into your effects board, and its intuitive operability is appealing.

The "No Vibe (JC) mode" push switch on the side is
When turned ON, you can get a chorus effect without any wavering. The sound image is based on the chorus built into the classic amp "Jazz Chorus", and by eliminating the sense of modulation, you can get a deep, ambient sound effect.

The mix balance between the original sound and the effect sound is very pleasant and it responds sensitively to your touch.

Free the Tone's TRI AVATAR is a multi-dimensional chorus pedal that combines three chorus effects to create a rich stereo image. The delay time and level of each chorus can be adjusted individually, and it also has a preset function. It offers high sound quality and flexible sound creation, and is trusted by professionals.

- The number of presets that can store settings has been greatly increased to 128.
(Only presets 1 to 4 can be recalled using the main unit alone. If you use a MIDI controller, all presets from 1 to 128 can be recalled.)
- The tone control for the chorus sound has been changed from the HI-CUT control to the TONE control. Right
Turning it to the right cuts the low range, and turning it to the left cuts the high range.
It became a Noh play.
・In the TA-1H, the DRY MIX was WET100% → DRY50% / WET50%, but in the TA-2H, the DRY MIX was 0% →
It's now 100%. You can now make even finer adjustments to the chorus sound.
- Three independent signal paths that can be individually modulated (pitch-shifting) and an analog signal path
It has a dry signal path that can be mixed as is.
By shifting each of the three modulation signal paths by 3 degrees, the unique spread of the three-phase chorus is achieved.
It is manifested.
- Supports both stereo and mono. When used in mono, three modulations are available.
All signal paths are mixed, allowing for a wide variety of sound creation.
- 24-bit AD/DA converter and FREE THE TONE's unique signal processing and algorithms
This has resulted in a next-generation chorus sound that reduces noise generation.
- Connect an expression pedal to the EXP jack and control the RATE or TONE in real time.
You can control it.

Providence's ANADIME CHORUS is a chorus pedal that uses an analog circuit and features a warm and rich sound. It can be operated intuitively with three controls: Depth, Speed, and Mix, and the depth of the effect can be switched with the Deep switch. Despite its compact size, it provides a tone with a solid presence.

● Rich chorus effect
ANADIME CHORUS is based on the traditional chorus sound that uses BBD for the analog delay element, and pursues horizontal spread and deep depth even though it is a mono output. It creates a unique space that draws out the guitarist's imagination infinitely.

● MODE switch allows for a wider range of sound creation
There are now three chorus modes (delay ranges): DEEP/MID/LIGHT. This allows for a wide range of effects, from a deep chorus with great depth and pitch change like before, to a refreshing, light and unobtrusive chorus.

Equipped with mix function
The new MIX function allows balance control of effect levels, allowing for a wide range of subtle settings.

●SCT Circuit
In a normal True-Bypass circuit, the audio signal passes through two switch circuits when bypassed, but the ANADIME CHORUS uses a Single Contact True Bypass circuit, which means that the signal only passes through one switch circuit when bypassed. As a result, we have been able to improve product reliability and achieve higher sound quality than ever before.

●DCG Circuit
The DCG Circuit (Double Contact Grounding Circuit) is used, which connects the shield side of the mono plug that is connected to the output jack to the ground side of the effector with two contacts. By increasing the contact area, poor contact is less likely to occur, which is also advantageous in terms of sound quality.

High-brightness LED & LED lens
The LED on the ANADIME CHORUS functions as a modulation pitch indicator (when the effect is ON, it flashes in sync with the LFO speed, allowing you to visually confirm the pitch). In addition to displaying the ON/OFF status of the effect, it also has the function of monitoring the battery voltage. When the battery voltage falls below approximately 7V, the LED starts to turn off. The effect sound will still be output in this state, but we recommend replacing the battery to ensure that the unit performs to its full potential.

MXR's M-234 Analog Chorus delivers classic chorus sound with analog circuitry. The Level, Rate, Depth, Low, and High controls allow you to fine-tune the tone, and the true bypass design allows you to turn the effect on and off without compromising the original sound. Its robust construction and reliable performance make it a favorite of many guitarists.

LOW/HIGH
You can cut the low and high frequencies of the chorus sound. You can freely set the tone from refreshing to warm.

LEVEL
Sets the effect sound output.

RATE
Controls the speed of modulation of the chorus sound.

DEPTH
Controls the depth of the chorus sound.

THROUGH
Used for stereo output.

The BOSS CE-2W is a chorus pedal from the Waza Craft series that reproduces the sounds of the classic CE-2 and CE-1. You can enjoy the sound of the CE-2 in Standard mode, the chorus sound of the CE-1 in Chorus mode, and the vibrato sound of the CE-1 in Vibrato mode. Its sturdy construction and wide variety of sounds are characteristic of BOSS.

CE-1 Chorus Ensemble Released in 1976
The Roland Jazz Chorus amp shocked the music world with its unprecedented design and sound, combining the world's first chorus circuit with a stereo amplifier. In response to requests from musicians who wanted to use that sound, the CE-1 was made into a pedal unit as the first BOSS brand product.

The unique chorus sound, which is deep yet mild, has been well received by guitarists and many other musicians alike. It also features a vibrato mode that produces a distinctive, highly modulated sound, providing new expressive power to a variety of musical scenes, including rock and jazz.

CE-2 Chorus Released in 1979
The CE-1979 is a chorus designed specifically for guitars, built into the body of a BOSS compact pedal that was born in 2. Compared to the CE-1, it features a shallower sense of modulation and a refreshing chorus that doesn't impair the sharpness of the guitar sound. In addition to the mono output of the original CE-2, the CE-2W can be expanded by stereo output.

Made in japan
BOSS was one of the first to adopt the then-new semiconductor element BBD, creating an unprecedented chorus sound, and this craftsmanship has been passed down to the present day Waza Craft. And in the memorable 40th anniversary of the birth of BOSS effects, the CE-2W is produced in Japan just like it was back then, delivering the highest quality possible.
