A small button "blend" on the rear edge of the pedal to mix the sound changed - a real plus.
Comes with 9V DC transformer yet classic in classic ... But the competition is selling "cheap" but without transfo ... I appreciate.

Anyway I have not chosen for the look or size too big for this pedal. I do not like his style or color ... matter of taste ... Finally we do not care ... what matters is the sound, right?

UTILIZATION

There are only three buttons to adjust ... but the extent of the settings for each volume pot is such that we can create a variety of effects "chorus / tremolo" really superb.

So just "manually" but requires patience to find the desired sound, the sound must be for a particular piece ... Music is really, what!

All background is "unworkable", but at least it proves that there really is an amplitude sound interesting.

I insist on the small button that adjusts the percentage between the direct sound and the sound changed ... It allows you to add "volume" or not, to "boost" the sound or otherwise reduce the ... A tiny knob that should be on any bike ... You agree that music is a matter of balance and volume control ... Faultless, what!

SOUND QUALITY

I mainly play a Takamine + micro rosette. The chorus really gives a fantastic sound.

So far I have never liked the "chorus" ... But so far I had chorus in multi-effects I am more and more of that and I substituted the pedals as simple as possible and better. It has nothing to do finance standpoint, but the purchase of the Maxon CS-550 is really a kind of additional instrument ... you can really add sound to his guitar, and set the pile of ass around with the songs we play ...

It may very well create a slight tremolo sound of a deep and resonant chorus at will, as a slight modulation perfect for thickening a bit of a rhythm ... So it's a creative tool subtle but easy to address.

OVERALL OPINION

I have not tried that evening ...

But I found the Chorus! It really came out as if my guitar sound weird ... AC did not "like a chorus I glue" that alters the original sound ... NOT a fart breath! That guitar sound that is modulated through the 3 settings ..

Well, yes! It's € 235! Chorus There are cheaper or even multiple effects pedals armored ... but not be fooled! It will never have the same quality as a dedicated pedal.

Come on, I would say that perhaps a lack of EQ settings, as MXR Stereo Chorus on ... but the salesman steered me to the Maxon ... and I can only trust him since he tried and he has chosen each pedal in the store ...

In short, if you are looking for quality simplissime ... Maxon choose ... you will not be disappointed
