CHORUS- ANALOG MAN Mini Chorus ... the very best ever???

ANALOG MAN MINI CHORUS 

$255.00 USD

The Boss CE-2 came out in 1979 and ever since then all others have been compared and measured up to it. 

The Analog Man set out to improve it, not to make something really new. It is a bit fuller and and richer but if not better arguably equal. Like the original you get two controls for depth and speed but you also get a toggle to give you depth.

CONCLUSION

These days when a lot of guys think chorus they think digital. I bought the Strymon myself, had it for two years and sold it and went back to analog. I missed the warmth.

CLONES

LY-ROCK MINI CHORUS 

This company is under the radar and make clones or some say 

counterfeits that literally copy pretty much part for part. 

Panasonic chips ..the whole deal.

$160.00 USD

CONCLUSION

Saving a cool $100 is a heavy persuader!

DEMON FX MINI CHORUS 

$30.00 USD

Just when you thought it was safe. First all 3 pedals are hand made. Probably most important the NOS Panasonic chips that chips that Analog Man used when they started are now being put back into production and even for just a couple of bucks each. Cheaper components for other parts should not affect the sound or if they did it should be subtle.

Moogoo own Demonfx and Mosky. 

They may own Ly-Rock. They have literally sold forgeries in the past.

In fact so many that they have had to pull them for months at a time until the heat dies down because in China a forgery is illegal but they just don't enforce the law. If there is enough pressure from the owner of the brand they are told politely to 'disappear'. Reappearance in a new location months later is the norm. To be fair it is to save the workers their jobs.

CONCLUSION

I have had good luck with anything Moogoo makes. I have their OCD forgery for a few years. I don't know for sure how close it clones the original but I have zero problem with 

how it sounds. Keep in mind it can't be worse than a Mosky and I have never had a piece of 

junk from them.

Wheres the video??? Sorry none so far. The company doesn't hand them out to 

reviewers so it takes time for a 'hobby reviewer' to get one and make a video. 

FINAL CONFUSER

NUX REISSUE SERIES ANALOG CHORUS

On the other hand if you simply want a great analog Chorus and indeed with the killer Panasonic chips 

get the NUX Analog Chorus for $60.00 USD.

I have the original one they did for about a decade. Same pedal in yellow.

I sold it, bought a Strymon, sold the Strymon and then bought the same NUX pedal for a second time.😇
