Same price as the normal Chorus, as the box is a little cheaper but
the extra labor to build the pedal into the small box is a lot more than
the box savings. These have both battery and DC adapter jack standard,
and the same board inside for the same sounds as the normal Chorus. The boxes on the mini chorus pedals came
out looking great, really nice blue textured color.
These have true bypass
and a depth knob which allows any setting from no chorus to full-on
chorus. The true bypass switch is designed for quiet switching with just
a slight pop as in any true bypass pedal. Stop losing your tone with
your non-true bypass Boss, digitech, line6 etc chorus pedals.
We
chose this design for our Chorus pedal because it could have separate
Depth and Speed controls. This will allow my two favorite settings:
medium depth / high speed for a LESLIE simulation, and high depth / low
speed for a rich, thick chorusing. I also like a medium depth / low
speed setting sometimes- this setting fills out your sound without
really being noticeable until you turn it off, then you notice something
is missing. The old Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble has a cool sound, but
with one knob controlling both speed and depth of the Chorus, it cannot
be dialed in to my favorite sounds. And it is not really designed to be
used with guitar level signals, the CE-1 works a lot better at line
level (keyboards, effects loops, etc).
Why does our chorus
sound better than the others that are made today? Both the MN3207 and
MN3007 are rated for 2.5% maximum Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at a
certain input voltage level. For the MN3007, this level is 0.78V RMS.
For the MN3207, it's 0.25V RMS!! This means that our MN3007 that we use
can take a much higher input signal level, which means much more dynamic
range, and less noise. Think of it as trying to play your stereo at the
same clean loud volume through a 78 watt solid state amp or a 25 watt
S.S. amp. The 78 watt amp will have less distortion and noise, and sound
much better at higher levels.
