Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus

It's pretty easy to use. Two knobs, intensity and speed. Doesn't get much simpler than that.

I ordered this pedal before reading these forums and was scared of the "volume boost" that so many people talked about. I had already made plans for selling the pedal and looking into something else, because I needed a pedal that works on stage as well as in the studio. Now that I have played with the pedal, I know there is nothing to fear.

I am running a Gibson Les Paul into an intricate system of pedals. First in line comes my Clyde and volume pedal, followed by a Fulltone Fatboost, Distortion Pro, modded Tube Screamer, Flanger, the Chorus, Fulltone Tremolo, MXR Phaser and then through a Noise Suppresor and Line6 DL4. All of the pedals except the NS2 and DL4 go through a bypass strip from pedalboards.com. It then goes into either a Marshall TSL or a Fender Twin Reverb. There is absolutely no added volume with either of the amps, nor when I switch to another guitar such as a strat or an Ibanez 7string. I can only guess that the added volume that the others have experienced comes from placement in their signal chain.

I love the Leslie effect which sounds very rich compared to other leslie effects I have used, but am most happy with the regular chorus sound. This is achieved by putting the intensity around 12 and the speed at about 3 o clock. Its very thick and rich.

Like your typical metal/true bypass pedal. Very durable.

No earthly idea.

It's an oustanding chorus. I have played on a CE-1 and this is everybit as good. It doesn't seem to have the annoying popping sounds which accompany the CE-1 either. I am extremely happy with this pedal.

Very easy to use; Intensity and Speed knobs.

Other reviews of this pedal have referred to the same phenomena: the pedal basically has one useful setting- Intensity at maximum with Speed at around 12:00 to 1:00. Also, the pedal produces an undesirable volume boost.

It's never failed on me. Seems pretty tough.

Never needed support, nor tried to get it.

I play an Ernie Ball 5-string fretless bass, into an SWR-900 w/ an SWR 2x10. I sometimes use a Tech21 SansAmp Bass pedal. I've been playing for about 20 years. I currently play in a prog rock / jazz / funk thing, and I was looking for a good chorus pedal to give me that BigBassDrop sound. This was not the one.

Two knobs, very simple to use

I can' imagine what the two reviewers below me were thinking, maybe they should stick with their Digitech Processors if they want twinkly digitar Chorus, cause you won't find it here. What you will find is the lushest, warmest ANALOG Chorus ever made. Seriously, I've had just about every great Chorus pedal ever made, including the Roland, and the Way Huge. This unit smokes the Roland, but unfortunately, the Way Huge blue hippo smokes any Chorus pedal ever made! You can expect to pay around $500.00 for a Blue Hippo, but I bought my Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus pedal for only $129.00 used. ....and believe me, it IS true bypass. I gie it a 10 because it's 2nd best, but very affordable.

Brick House.

Unneeded in 3 years of heavy gigging.

The Best Chorus box still being produced!

Easy to use, 2 knobs.

I used this with a Suhr Strat & Bogner Shiva head with a Dr. Z, Zbest 2x12 cabinet. With this pedal disengaged everything sounded ok. As soon as I press the switch, I was EXETREMELY disappointed. This unit colors the guitar sound and sounds like you dropped a blanket over your speakers. All high end sparkle and clarity was gone. Me and another guitarist played with it for 15 minutes and both of us didn't care for the muddy sound.

It seems well built, but I can't give an educated opinion.

Me and the other guitarist have been playing for about 35 years each and have been through allot of pedals and rack mount units. I also own a recording studio. Both of us felt this unit degraded the sound of the guitar signal. It sounds dead, dull & dark. A local store let me take it home for the night and I returned it the next day. All-in-all an uninspiring pedal.

Two knobs, it doesn't get any easier than that.

Great sounds, especially on clean. I really don't like chorus on distortion sounds for the most part. I've heard others say it's noisy but I'm not getting any extra noise out of it. I'm using it with a Mesa Mark IV. I'm not usually a big fan of chorus but this pedal is a keeper.

Looks as solid as any boss pedal I've owned. It's built like a tank.

I play mostly melodic rock and some acoustic rock. This pedal sounds great on acoustic also. I'd buy another if it was stolen. This pedal is very inspirational. I've compared this with about 3-4 different boss pedals. I still have a CH-1(which I don't use) and I've played with the chorus ensemble pedal, plus a couple others(don't remember the names). This beats them hands down, it's so creamy!!!!!!

very simple to use

I use a 58 gibson es225td through a 66 pro reverb the chorus sounded all right except It boosted the signal when I turned it on, it is quite noisy and does not have true bypass , It degrades the signal quite a bit

I suppose I would depend on it if I could stand the noise

never delt with them

I play worship music at church it was a mistake buying something that said voodoo on it, I compared it to the dod chorus pedals they both sounded better to my ears I liked the one with fewer knobs. Anyhow I liked the sound of the chorus but could not handle the noise signal degradation and boost of this pedal

The Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus is about as easy to use as a pedal can be. It has two knobs, intensity and speed. You tweak them until you get the sound you want. It incorporates true bypass switching so that when switched off it's completely transparent.

In contrast to most of the reviewers of this product, I am an acoustic player. I'm playing a Santa Cruz OM/PW with a L.R. Baggs active I-Beam pickup. I play through a TECH 21 Bronzewood 60 acoustic amp that has a very nice Accutronics three spring reverb built in.

I had been using a Danelectro Cool Cat chorus, had grown frustrated with its shrillness and decided that analog might be the answer and it was. The tone of the Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus is very organic for want of a better word. It's very smooth and musical. I can easily dial in just enough chorus to give me a bit of thickening or go just plain nuts and get a great Leslie sound out of it.

It switches silently though there is a modest amount of boost when it's switched on. This is part and parcel of any chorus effect so I can't really present this as a deficiency of the unit.

I haven't owned it long enought to make any claims as to its long-term durability. With that said I can accurately state that the unit is extremely well built using the best components. The construction speaks reliability. I have used it without a backup and will continue to use it without a backup.

Before I bought the unit I had several questions. I e-mailed Voodoo Lab and received a detailed and friendly response the same day. A second e-mail to them was responded to just as quickly. It was clear that they actually read my questions and took the time to respond accurately.

I play acoustic "folk" music, bluegrass and old-time. I've been playing for close to 30 years! Man, I'm getting to be a geezer.

In addition to the gear mentioned above, I have a Santa Cruz D with no pickup. I also have a Flatiron Festival F mandolin. If I want to amplify these instruments I mic them with a good Audio Technika condensor microphone.

If this pedal were stolen I wouldn't hesitate to get another. It performs exactly as I hoped it would. The only other chorus pedal I might consider would be the Analog.man "clone clone" chorus.

Again, it performs/sounds exactly as I hoped it would. It has true bypass switching so when off it is completely transparent. I can dial in exactly the tone I'm after without any hassles whatsoever.

To those reviewers who describe the pedal as a "one trick pony" I must ask if we're talking about the same pedal? I can easily get whatever I want out of this thing. I don't know, maybe their ears are shot from too many years of amps turned up way too loud.

So simple to use, just two controls...Intensity-Speed, any knob twister can figure this one out in a minute!!!

I'm using a homemade guitar through a custom Krank amp(Tempe, Az), the Voodoo Analog Chorus sounds great straight in or through the effects loop.
I haven't noticed any noise with this unit, and I use it for an extreme kind of sound. I crank the "speed" almost all the way up, then I put the "intensity" at three o'clock for a "leslie-ish" sound, very pleasant.

All of the Voodoo Lab products seem tough as nails to me, I can't imagine needing a backup.

I'm playing mostly rock with this pedal, and for the freaky "leslie-ish" sound I wanted it's perfect!
I opened it up just to get a good look inside and was a bit put off to see a big PCB, but then I plugged it in and I lost all worries.
This is a solid, clean sounding chorus, i've owned a bunch of different chorus pedals and this one is right up there behind the T.C. Chorus.

Two knobs, no matter where you turn them there's a good sound to be had

Lots of clarity, not muddy when the depth is set high. Nice and lush at slower speeds, nice 'leslie' sound with the speed all the way up. I use a lot of different guitars and amps, and I have yet to find a bad match with this one, although it's particularly impressive with single coils

So far so good. I was a devotee of the old Boss CE-2's for a long time but was very frustrated at having to replace them every 6 months (connections going bad, that really annoying 'click' that corresponds to the speed, any of which cost more than the pedal's worth to fix). This one seems to be built for the long haul

never needed it

I think it's a really great pedal. As I said earlier, there's no bad setting on it at all. For me, the clincher is that once I bought it I never worried about chorus pedals again. I play professionally, and trust me, that's a huge motivator. As with any review I've left here, I've been playing it a while before posting anything, and I only post about the 'keepers'.

In all fairness, I should mention that I did spend a couple days demoing pedals for them at a NAMM show one year, but I was subbing for someone else and we don't have any kind of 'official' relationship. I was very impressed with their whole line of pedals, but the ones I have I bought with my own money and use on a regular working basis (also Pedal Power II, Trem and Superfuzz), and would be using regardless of having worked for them.

2 controles Intensity/Speed. Super facil de ajustar...

La construccion en el Hammond Box 1590BB convierte a este pedal de Chorus en "Bullet Proof" Indestructible

No he tenido problema alguno. El dia que le suceda algo no habra problemas ya que en ocasiones pasadas he tratado con Voodoo Lab y tiene un buen Customer Service...
