If you’re looking for a quality chorus, this might the ticket. I’ve been seeing a few boards with these on there lately. I recently watched a Eighteen Eyes (from Seattle) performance and noticed that Jamie Aaron was using one. If you haven’t checked out Eighteen Eyes.. you might want to. Good stuff.
The MXR M234 Analog Chorus has the standard level, rate and depth controls that you would expect on a chorus, but they also have a low and high controls where you cut some of those frequencies. I think this is very useful to dial in the swirl with out being too piercing or rumbly on the big sweeps.
Here is the official description by MXR/Dunop:
This all-analog pedal uses bucket-brigade circuitry to create classically lush, liquid textures that you just can’t get with digital circuitry. Rate, Level, and Depth controls, as well as knobs for cutting High and Low frequencies allow ultimate tone control. Like all MXR pedals, the M-234 comes in a heavy-duty housing with durable jacks and switches for a lifetime on the road.
I found this great video by musictoyznetwork:
The MXR M234 Analog Chorus lists for $170.61, and is usually available for $100, but is currently on sale for only for $79.38 at Amazon.com and ships for free. That’s $20.62 off of the going rate. Not too shabby!
