Description
 
Analog Man offers the Mini Chorus. The MINI-CHORUS is the same as our normal chorus, but in a smaller, hand stamped box. It is the same size as our small comprossors/juicers. Another MUST HAVE for your pedal board!

Features

For more detailed info on our chorus pedals, and recommended voltages (see MAX HEADROOM picture) check out analogman.com

The MINI-CHORUS is the same as our normal chorus, but in a smaller, hand stamped box. It is the same size as our small comprossors/juicers:

2.5" x 4.75" x 1.5" not including jacks, switch, etc

Same price as the normal Chorus, these have both battery and DC adapter jack standard, and the same board inside for the same sounds as the normal Chorus. It's a great, simple, small chorus pedal with awesome tone! It is available with an external MIX (BLEND) knob or depth toggle for $25 more each. The boxes on the mini chorus pedals came out looking great, really nice blue textured color. In 2019, now available with Stereo option (side jacks only, no battery room). LED on the Mini Chorus is standard.

We now have over 19 different versions of our chorus pedals available if you count all the various options. We build them to order to your spec in just a few days. I don't think anyone else offers more than one or two versions of a chorus, so this is pretty unique and something that we can do since we are in effect a custom shop.

These have true bypass and a depth knob which allows any setting from no chorus to full-on chorus. The true bypass switch is designed for quiet switching with just a slight pop as in any true bypass pedal. Stop losing your tone with your non-true bypass Boss, digitech, line6 etc chorus pedals.

We chose this design for our Chorus pedal because it could have separate Depth and Speed controls. This will allow my two favorite settings: medium depth / high speed for a LESLIE simulation, and high depth / low speed for a rich, thick chorusing. I also like a medium depth / low speed setting sometimes- this setting fills out your sound without really being noticeable until you turn it off, then you notice something is missing. The old Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble has a cool sound, but with one knob controlling both speed and depth of the Chorus, it cannot be dialed in to my favorite sounds. And it is not really designed to be used with guitar level signals, the CE-1 works a lot better at line level (keyboards, effects loops, etc).We have CE-1 mods for separate speed and depth, and to work better with guitar.

On the left you can see a closeup view of the circuit board. The circuit board is double sided with plated through-holes as used by the military, this keeps the components perfectly attached to the board.

Why does our chorus sound better than the others that are made today? Both the newer MN3207 and our MN3007 are rated for 2.5% maximum Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at a certain input voltage level. For the MN3007, this level is 0.78V RMS. For the MN3207, it's 0.25V RMS!! This means that our MN3007 that we use can take a much higher input signal level, which means much more dynamic range, and less noise. Think of it as trying to play your stereo at the same clean loud volume through a 78 watt solid state amp or a 25 watt S.S. amp. The 78 watt amp will have less distortion and noise, and sound much better at higher levels.

These, like all our chorus pedals, are made to order to your specs so they usually take a few days to build. This one has the STEREO option: For more info on the stereo option/voltage/relay information check here.


Starting in 2015 we will offer a TOP JACKS option for people who prefer jacks on top. We are using metal jacks and nuts on these now in both side and top jacks versions. The battery room may be tight with top jacks. If you are going to use a battery, we recommend the STANDARD CHORUS instead as there is plenty of room and the wires can get stressed on the Mini Chorus when you open and close it often.

5 of 5 Best chorus I have ever tried... April 10, 2024
Reviewer: Casey from Nashville, TN  
The reviews are accurate... this chorus is great! I love the subtle movement it can add, and great Leslie sounds on tap too (as mentioned in other reviews). I have always struggled with chorus, this appealed to me for two reasons... 1.) Analogman always has great quality products, always. 2.) This is not another Boss clone, I wanted to try this different circuit, and it did not disappoint. So happy I tried this one out, it is now a mainstay on my board. Another great Analogman product! 5 stars!!

5 of 5 Terrific Chorus April 7, 2024
Reviewer: Scott Curry from Boston Area  
I’ve had the Mini Chorus with mix knob and depth switch for two years now. It is absolutely one of my favorite pedals. I run a wet/dry rig with the pedal in the wet side and this chorus makes it sound magical when I turn it on. With low speed and mid depth, it gives my sound an almost three dimensional feel. I use it as a thickener of my sound. It’s lovely.

At high speed, mid-depth I can get a great faux Leslie sound as Mike mentions in his description. With speed at 10:00 and mid to high depth, I get a gorgeous lush chorus. This is definitely one of my favorites of all time.

5 of 5 Great Sounding Diverse Chorus September 28, 2023
Reviewer: Joshua Schecter from New York  
As all analogman pedals I have used before this one is great. I thought I would like it since I like the adrx20 and if I am not mistaken they use the same chips. I was going back and forth between this and the jam waterfall. I am glad I got the analogman mini chorus. I highly recommend, it can go from thick and lush to some subtle swirl. Give it a try I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

5 of 5 Analogman Mini Chorus Pedal February 18, 2023
Reviewer: Andrew Stendahl from Lubbock, TX United States  
Pleased to own something from Analogman. For years I was just settling for a chinese Boss clone copy. Mini Chorus pedal is excellent. Went with the 3 position toggle switch, it offers vibrato warble in the upper position and a whole lot of chorus-ey depth in the lower position.  Quiet noise floor, its case looks in scale amidst other pedals on a 21st century pedalboard. Been enjoying it thoroughly for a couple of days now. Sounds ethereal through my DRRI and Ac 10c1
