MXR M234 Analog Chorus

A chorus pedal that offers many settings and a stereo output.
Like all MXR, the case seems indestructible construction and does not call any criticism. The effect is completely analogue as we might expect from the brand

UTILIZATION

The five knobs settings allow multiple levels of effect. As always (yes, I'ma fan of the brand!) In MXR, each potentiometer offers on its entire course, a musical sound AND usable. You have tried all of that chorus pedals, from 50% of the race of knobs, to become less "weird" and unusable. In MXR, all the effects of musical modulations remain on their full range of adjustments.

SOUND QUALITY

I often compare it to the chorus 90 Vintage Phase 74: elegance, class and musicality at all levels. I will change it for anything even if I remain committed to Clone Electro Harmonix that I also own. A world separates these two pedals and even if the EH Clone D'nothing wrong (and far from it) MXR chorus plays in the higher category. Fortunately elsewhere: it costs more than double!

OVERALL OPINION

I kept a nostalgic memory of a superb Roland Chorus I owned at the end of 70 years, until I acquired it from MXR. To the extent that auditory memory is playing tricks on me, I found the same musicality and serene light, the same propensity to color delicately authority but the sound of a Les Paul or a Strat. Equally at home in its clear that behind the overdrive, distortion or fuzz, the MXR Analog Chorus is my grail.
