Basic information about the electro-harmonix Neo Clone

Neo Clone is the legitimate successor to the Small Clone, known for being used by Kurt Cobain of Nirvana. It uses high-quality BBD chips and the same circuit as the original Small Clone. Despite its compact body, it accurately reproduces the clear, rich, three-dimensional and warm chorus sound of the Small Clone.

Electro-Harmonix Neo Clone | Review and reputation

I tried it out at a music store while traveling and loved it right away.
I didn't have any money at the time, so I went home crying (laughs).
When I got home I immediately purchased it on Amazon!

The sound is not a clear chorus, but rather a soft, analog-like, vertically oscillating chorus.
If you turn the DEPTH switch on and set the speed to MAX, you can produce a highly distorted, projectile-like sound.
I like it with the DEPTH switch on and the speed at around 10 o'clock (lol).

The DEPTH switch is not just a simple amplitude switch; it also makes the sound slightly clearer when it is OFF.
It also seemed to change the tone of the sound, making it warmer when turned on!

It's simple, with just one knob and one switch, so the range of sound creation isn't that great.
If you like it, there's no doubt that it's the best pedal! Please give it a try!

The sound changes significantly depending on whether the DEPTH switch is turned on or off.

When it is OFF, you can make delicate adjustments using the knob.
There are many pedals that make you feel like you're getting a chorus sound the moment you step on it, but if you turn DEPTH OFF and turn the knob to 0 or just a little bit, you get a clean sound with a bit more thickness. Turning the knob all the way up creates a beautiful, wide chorus sound, but it also feels like the mids are emphasized a bit.

When you turn DEPTH ON, the effect changes completely and becomes much more pronounced. It really does shake.
You can really hear the chorus even at 0. At MAX you can get a pretty intense sound.

I think it goes well with distortion pedals.
I like the setting where I distort it, turn DEPTH on, and turn the knob a little.

It is said to be a smaller version of the Small Clone, but when I listened closely, I felt a subtle difference. This one is a little more vivid and delicate, or conversely, it feels a little less thick. It's hard to explain in words... lol
I prefer this one.

Amazon Than

It really does sound like Kurt Cobain.
Rather than a variety of sounds coming out,
Because it produces a unique sound
It's a matter of whether you can like it there or not.
If you don't use depth, you will still get the normal chorus sound.
It's true bypass so when you step on it you hear a booming sound.
