    Analog Chorus
    Between input and output simple

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple configuration can be seen too that neither has the intensity of a knob and a "switch" deep but it does not limit such as the knobs are effective and the sound changes if they are relying more on sound of the clone is quite small especially if you like it then not complain (the chorus numerical modeling has often offer a precise showing the original audio)
    The manual is useless but a good manual is simply unnecessary for this pedal

    The manual is useless but a good manual is simply unnecessary for this pedal

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound is good with a leslie effect can be thoroughly
    I use it in the loop of my head lights and it sounds really good
    The negative point is the "blop" was the engagement in terms of true bypass but hey it's not so embarrassing and disabling the at least one does not lose puissanceet there is no additional noise unlike some false bypass

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 months and I am satisfied because I love the chorus and that really delights me.
    I love the sound itself is done well resent and also the price of the pedal like the blop less true bypass but it is enough to turn on / off pedal o u4 3 times before start playing for it goes unnoticed, especially if you play in groups.
    Report qualitprix very good for less than 100th was all that need a chorus
    I would do without this choice problem because if I had to change it would be good for the MXR but I am not yet ready to 200th in a chorus.

    For specifications, see the other view.

    Only 8, because there are only two intensities arranged and because of the truly imposing dimensions.

    UTILIZATION

    The general configuration is very simple: you choose one of two intensities, and adjusted the speed using the knob.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The chorus does not suit me, for several reasons:
    - Only two intensities, it leaves little margin.
    - This pedal colors the sound quite a bit. That may be what some want, but it was too chorus typed for me (an idea of ​​his: Come As You Are Nirvana is exactly that). That said, in his field, drawn from the sound is very good, simply, it is not suitable for all uses.

    Conclusion: try it before you buy it absolutely!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used 1 month.
    What I liked was the ease of use.
    The price / quality ratio is very good (it is found to € 70 new)
    With experience, I will not repeat that choice because it is a fact too typed for the use I'm looking to do.

    Indeed one available: the chorus. Switch and one knob.

    Here, no complicated thing, it's simple, a guitar input, an output amplifier, a connector for the power supply and that's it.

    It is a rugged, somewhat bulky, not necessarily very well finished (I find the battery cover not practical, it is very far from the ease of opening a Boss here, the screwdriver is needed ...).

    The knob is large and usable at the foot.

    UTILIZATION

    It's simple, you plug and turning the knob and the switch that changes the sound a bit, there's not many hacks possible.

    "Manual" reduced to an absolute minimum.

    "Manual" reduced to an absolute minimum.

    SOUND QUALITY

    It is his strong point. We obtain an analog chorus, warm, well presented and who alone gives something interesting. For me this is one of the most beautiful but very few versatile.

    I use it with my Les Paul, my ESP and my Laney amp.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a few days (although I have known him for 15 years;)). I love the sound quality, very warm and beautiful, I like less the lack of versatility and settings. It is not suitable for all types of songs is fairly limited.

    The value for money is good, it's a mid-priced pedal, solid and should last.

    I think we should try before you buy because it is a special chorus that does not necessarily agree with metalheads example. I am happy because I have a near Boss CE5, but if I had to choose only one, it is not obvious, it would lean more towards Boss.

    Reserved little about the quality of the paint that seems a bit fragile but good abme even this should not change the sound!

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound is absolutely great. This friendly, space, cozy ... (From what Electroharmonix !!!!). We can notice a slight drop in volume when the effect is on, but it's really small.
    I use the Small Clone with a guitar, and I am totally satisfied. For those who would find it difficult to get an idea of ​​the sound, listen Come As You Are by Nirvana ... But beware, the sound of the Small Clone does not end with the tube anthology! It is very versatile, despite the reduced number of available settings. In a sense it is that makes force: no matter what it sounds ...

    Who says Electroharmonix said pedal to its non-standard: the Small Clone is faithful to the brand as a move some spleen, its become very ... experimental!! Try it, you'll see!

    I tried it on a Jazz Bass, the sound becomes a bit low, brought me the sound color is really interesting. I have not test driven the long way, but the little I heard was really nice: the sound of Simon Gallup Cure or Duff according to the settings, very nice short.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This pedal is very effective without being "headlock" you do not spend 2 hours to find the sound of death that kills, which also gets bored very quickly ... Small clone with you part, you turn, you play, and it sounds!!
    The price / quality ratio is very interesting. I would definitely do it again this election.

    Well that's good it's not too cold, both are well suited depth, we recognize the guitar.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it anecdotally for two years.
    What I like is that it is relatively unobtrusive and that it's not porridge.
    Otherwise nine is a bit expensive for a fact as common as the chorus ... I got it at 35 euros, I regret absolutely not.

    For me it's just the best guitar chorus pedals in the world, and I test the EHX boss digitech (the X-series multi chorus is really cool too, especially on a low, but it is less transparent.)
    It is a lightweight effect of breath / when rotation is stopped in a string of jou full of saturations. Gnant is not live, but noticeable at times depending on the strength of the distortion / fuzz, gives a little Sonic Youth and Nirvana ct, me, me not impede, but it is better to scaffold on which he sent to the hum debugger to live this kind of dsagrment.

    What I mean by that is that this pedal creates yet not for the wonderfully low fills his office. Its good vintage, namely hot and thick. The depth can vary on this subject with a way a bit colder. The effect "rotary" is also excellent but remains anecdotal. A good position is deep in, misses two notches before the half and it is the foot.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used for one month, bought in mag to 72 euros as prices correct.
    I like the simplicity of the beast, and his panel of sounds fairly rich (but not paradoxal. ..). No need to record, then the sheet front to learn how to use it. No default yet.

    I wanted a small-clone, nothing else. Then try other things? Oh yes, a chorus can on a multi-purpose canister equally Korg ... Well, not anything terrible, small-clone better, Korg not good ... Understand?

    The power supply, 9v to buy more? Bin, yeah. Must buy it, I do not see how this can be a default.

    Of course I would do this choice, not a single hesitation.

    SOUND QUALITY

    <p class="MsoNormal">There are very few pedals made by Electro-Harmonix that don’t bring something to the table in my opinion, and the Small Clone is definitely no exception.<span> </span>While I do wish there was a bit more versatility, for such a small pedal I really can’t complain as it packs a lot of power.<span> </span>The chorus tone can be described as extremely thick and regardless of where you set the depth, you’re going to get a wide sound, which is definitely something that I welcome.<span> </span>I’ve used the pedal in the recording studio with a Fender Stratocaster and a ’65 Fender Deluxe Reverb, so I’m definitely getting a clear enough signal to hear what this pedal truly sounds like.

    Unless you need a chorus pedal that will offer a lot of options, and you are on a budget, the Electro-Harmonix Small Clone is as good of a choice as any out there.<span> </span>It is a foot proof pedal to use and is quite reliable.<span> </span>This is the perfect pedal for those who want to add hints of chorus here and there, and don’t necessarily use chorus consistently.<span> </span>Overall, this is one my favorite chorus pedals in terms of bang for your buck…

    Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Mk2Published on 01/11/08 at 13:41
    The Small Clone is a monaural analog chorus pedal with only one knob and one (two-position) switch. Seems rather sturdy, although the (non-true bypass) switch on mine is kind of messed up (it is almost detached from the metal case, still works though). Uses 9V battery or can be plugged using an adequate 3.5 jack AC adapter.

    UTILIZATION

    I bought it used so there was no manual provided with it. The pdf available on Electro-Harmonix's website seems pretty useless though, unless you've never seen a stompbox in your whole life and/or don't trust your ears to set up that kind of basic pedals.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Used with a Fender Fat Strat through a SansAmp GT-2 with the Small Clone in between (although most people use it in their amp's effect loop that is after the preamp). In both clean and distorted sounds, this pedal brings both warmth (a REAL LOT of) and clarity to any clean sound, while it will smoothen the harshest distortion. I love the way it sounds, very reminiscent of Nirvana's Nevermind (remember the vintage Small Clone was one of Cobain's favorites before he turned to the Polychorus). With the depth switch drawn in the upper position, the chorus sound is noticeably detuned, which may remind of some 80s-90s experimental rock bands such as Sonic Youth -- thus not very easy to use in most context... With extreme settings of the &quot;rate&quot; knob the effect is a little more on the Leslie side. Contrarily to what I've read here and there I haven't noticed a drop in volume when this pedal is active -- maybe it's different in an effect loop?

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've used this pedal for approximately 6 months. I love the organic warmth that it brings, although it limits the range of sounds that it can produce. The settings can change the sound rather radically so it is definitely not as much a one-trick-pony as many people say, but you'll definitely need to try it to know if it suits your style (which is rather unlikely if you're looking for a cold, edge-cutting thrash metal sound).
