Van Halen used the chorus sound all the way throughout the 80s and as such, it defined an era! He may be known for his way out phaser modulation tones and brown sound distortions but his chorus tone was pivotal to any mild overdrive or clean guitar parts. 

This chorus re-creates the magic from that sound from the 80s! It's got a simple design layout and is intended to go straight onto your pedalboard with its top input jacks and input and output level pad switches.

  • Legendary chorus circuit souped-up for modern rig flexibility
  • Input and Output level switches to optimize signal-to-noise performance and achieve unity throughput gain
  • Volume, Tone & Intensity controls
  • Internal Bypass switch toggles true/buffered bypass
  • Mono and Stereo outputs

MXR

In the current JustPedals catalogue, MXR is represented by Overdrive Pedals, Compressor Pedals and Chorus Pedals. Current listings include Bass Synth, M300 Reverb and M307 Layers. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Chorus Pedals

Chorus pedals mix the dry signal with one or more short, modulated delays to create movement, width and gentle pitch variation. Rate controls the speed of the modulation; depth controls its excursion; blend, tone and stereo routing determine how prominent the effect becomes. Slower, shallow settings can add width without obscuring the note, while deeper settings move towards a seasick or synthetic wobble. Analogue bucket-brigade and digital designs can behave differently, so check mono compatibility, headroom and the placement of the pedal after drives or before a mixer.

Buffered Bypass

Buffered bypass keeps an active buffer in the signal path when the effect is bypassed. This can help drive long cable runs and high-capacitance boards, but the buffer’s input and output loading may also change the feel or frequency response. It is not the same as true bypass. Check the buffer behaviour, output impedance, placement around fuzz and the number of other buffers already in the chain before deciding whether it suits the rig.

Stereo

Stereo products provide separate left and right audio paths, which may widen modulation, preserve independent delays or route a pedalboard into two amplifiers or a mixer. Input and output behaviour is not always symmetrical: some units sum a stereo input, while others create stereo from a mono source. Check whether the effect collapses safely to mono, how the dry signal is routed, the socket format and the destination’s panning and phase requirements.
