Electro-Harmonix Neo Clone

See other reviews - I'll avoid listing umpteenth features
But to choose between this model and the more coarse hair, I take the biggest (I find it a better look).

UTILIZATION

Easy to use. No need to book.
A knob chorus rate and depth switch.
May actually I have loved a second knob rather than a switch, however, the Small Clone C and C as it all

SOUND QUALITY

Chorus sound rather close to the Small Clone "Big Box". Nice chorus, used exclusively on guitar. The switch engaged on the most pronounced fashion, it will land on the "Nirvana", you must love. The Small Clone is not deemed to be the lightest chorus (even at its lowest setting), you just know not to be "surprised".

However, I had a surprisingly lower level engagement of the pedal, then it should not on this model. Rather fan of Nirvana (not to have his "Nirvana" but rather because I found it rather enjoyable chorus sound) so I invested in a Small Clone "big box", which is known for its decline level when the effect is activated. And not at all in my case (like what ^ ^)

OVERALL OPINION

I used a short time (a few weeks). It was the Small clone with a bit less mini "heat" as its big brother, but in a very small box.
The value for money is at the top, no complaints. We have a good chorus for such a small price!
Just only hope that you do not fall on a model like me, who do not adapt to your chaining effects (or maybe it was the pedal was defective, which is possibly not be ruled out. However the store salesperson told me that everything was OK ...).
With the experience I do not have that choice, however, I suggest that this is rather "pleasant" and cheap!

Pedal format "nano" very convenient to install on his pedalboard.

Alim. standard.

Battery included but access to the hatch requires to have a screwdriver

UTILIZATION

Ultra-simple one knob and one switch.

Manuel almost non-existent as always with EHX said that this needs a manual for a chorus with a knob and a switch spleen depth ....

This is the perfect plug and play for me.

SOUND QUALITY

This is where, in my case, the bottom hurts ... I bought this pedal after being packaged by his "sister" nano stone phaser that offers an excellent format "nano" and a very affordable price.

For the neo clone that is the same size and same price range but the sound quality is way back from the phaser from the same brand.

To continue the comparison almost rivaled the nano stone with my phaser MRX VAN HALEN while more than half the cost; the neo clone it is nowhere near the level of MXR chorus I usually use (Analog Chorus M234).

She is also overwhelmed by the visual sound liquid chorus (pedal H20) which is nevertheless a chorus that I do not appreciate too (even if it sounds good matter of taste it is rather unusual and is not suitable for my style) and I use very rarely.

Last but not least, I took out my old CF-7 Ibanez who took home dust (an entry-level pedal which chorus and flanger) and even then the Neo clone is no more than it sounds different but not better ; the chorus of the CF-7 Chorus is yet a very plain ...

It has chorus that sounds pretty good in the clear (liquid chorus especially after adding a delay) and other rather well saturated (MXR M234), the Neo clone has convinced me neither clear nor in full.

I got a better sound with humbuckers than with single, but nothing transcendent.

Seen what the competition offers (MXR M234 and the sublime CS-9 Pro MAXON) sound quality is average (5/10) no more.

OVERALL OPINION

I was quite a fan of Electro Harmonix pedals (Big Muff, Little Big Muff, stereo puslar, small stone, germanium muff 4) and for the first time I am very disappointed with where I think the title of "cheap clone" appropriate better for me than "neo clone."

I do not recommend this pedal, even if it is better to save affordable for a better chorus.

Chorus effects pedal format at Electro Harmonix Nano
Fully analog, it incorporates the same circuit as the Small Clone famous used, among others, Kurt Cobain, but in a more conventional and easier to integrate on a pedalboard

It is true bypass so no coloration of sound it is fed or not (but not activated)

In terms of food is classic, 9V battery (included) or 9v negative center power (not included)

UTILIZATION

On the pedal, there is a knob to adjust the intensity of effect, a switch that allows for Depth chorus more or less pronounced and of course the classic 3DPT switch to activate / deactivate the effect.

In short, difficult to get any easier.

SOUND QUALITY

Simply the best chorus in the world!

Yes yes!

Deep, warm or discrete, crystalline / metallic depending on the position of the switch Depth is a treat! Personally I love, especially the neck pickup on my Gibson

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month and nothing in the world I separate myself is one of the effects of which I can not do without, firstly because I like the chorus effect and secondly because it THE chorus!

A very good choice I do it again without problem, I think I'll even provide a backup or two if he dares to let go of me one day

In short if you are looking for a chorus look no further, take the NEO CLONE! (And not the NANO CLONE is a horror!)
