«  MXR at its peak with this all-terrain Chorus! »

Published on 10/23/13 at 04:35
- Analog Chorus
- Connection box with 9V (the MXR)
- Pedal non rackable
- And indeed, a true bypass, a true pure
- Buffer this
- Outputs Out mono and stereo out (I have tested the stereo)
- Look downright flashy decor with Zakk Wylde signature, this hero

In terms of features, it is right in the MXR tradition, so if you know the brand, you know that it is very simple and you do not tighten disappointed!

UTILIZATION

Usage is very simple, although there have 5 knobs (so a lot of sound possibilities), we quickly found the sound you seek! Personally, I opted for the direct personal control of Mr. Wylde himself (3 presets are given in the instructions, as on many signatures in MXR pedals) and I've never needed to change. This preset is suitable in its clear that its saturated (being a big fan of Zakk and John Sykes, the Chorus distortion, this is important!)

In short, no need for manual if not to see the presets Zakk or drool over the MXR catalog supplied with!

SOUND QUALITY

Here we come to the concrete! While this pedal in sound is huge! Why do you say? Well:
- It ensures that both Clean and Crunch in Disto
- The product is Chorus I find Old Scool ', ie round, very soft (not a bit aggressive) and fits squarely in the sound of your guitars (I have tested it on e Les Paul Custom, Jackson Dinky DK2MG and Gibson SG, and believe me, no need to change settings!)

It is awfully surprised by the beast in the first test. I play Marshall 6100 30th Anniversary and sounds of this amp with the Black Label Chorus strongly resemble the sound of Zakk on the album No More Tears! Just that!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this pedal for over a week and I played about twenty hours on about. I've tested a few different chorus pedals in the same price range and more upscale, it is obviously the one that was right in my choice!

The big plus of this pedal is its off-road character that allow it to be highly effective on all types of sounds. Its only tiny fault is that guitarists who are not particularly fans of Zakk Wykde or Black Label Society will miss this pedal that would certainly have conquered!

I got it at a price of € 89 on the net, the value for money is exceptional! I remake that choice 1000 times if necessary!
