« Ibanez CS-9 Chorus »

I bought from a pawn shop in college for about 25$...a real steal. I used it playing in a band for a year, or so - then it died (remember: always use the approved Boss AC/DC adapter!). So, I cried until I heard of this cool thing called EBay(?) :0


And I got me one...and another just for keeps.




impressive for an old pedal!!! The chorus sound is unbeatable - captures the best sounds of early chorus (e.g. simple compression to add "Sparkle") to a deep wavy chorus - almost a vibrato/tremolo.


I love the sound clean - very smooth and always adds richness without messing up clarity of your playing. When playing distorted (I use FUZZ FACE, and TS-808b from Analog Mike) this is not the pedal for chorus, and I just don't like the heavy chorus with distortion.




switch can be flaky - but call Analog Mike to have the switch repaired, then life is good. It's a mechanical problem, not a "voltage" or "power" problem.



solid metal.


2 knobs.


1 switch.


1 analog input


2 outputs (L(mono) and R stereo)




This is a great pedal - I own 2 of 'em, just in case one dies. I truly believe these pedals are going to become collectors items.
