Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus

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.

Two adjustments, rate and depth - this is as simple as it gets.

I tested this unit between the guitar and amp and in the effects loop - it definitely works better in the effects loop. This unit produces a more "vintage" sounding chorus compared to "clean" sounding chorus. The pedal is true bypass which is good because when activated it does boost to your signal, also it produces some noise - nothing to get to concerned about after all it is a analog unit. The bottom line is it produces a chorus that blends well when used in the effects loop of my Rivera tube amp.

I had a problem with an intermittent output however this was fixed by repairing a cold solder joint.

For a vintage sounding chorus this unit is a great deal, another unit worth taking a look at is the Fulltone ChoralFlange, I've heard its better however it will also cost you more. As mentioned above the Voodoo labs Analog Chorus does boost your signal and add a little noise, however the trade off is a very nice vintage sounding chorus that blends well with your guitar. I'm going to keep looking for a chorus that is transparent (doesn't boost signal or add noise) yet produces a chorus that is not to sterile sounding.

very easy. i either set the rate and depth to 5 o'clock for a fast leslie, or i set the rate at 11 o'clock and the depth at 5 o'clock for a slow leslie/chorus sound. manual is good but unnecessary, box iss great .

they sound fat, warm and great. they are great for rhythm and leads. every time i use them i get compliments about how great they sound! there is a slight boost when ngaged that i love. i use a custom relic strat w/ lindy fralin blues pickups into 2 analog choruses, a barber dual unit, barber tone pump, bixonic expandora on forbidden setting, fulltone fat boost, boss tu-2 tuner and ibanez analog delay ad-9. my amp is a top hat club deluxe.

yes. i use 2 one for fast and one for slow sounds, the finish is great and the hammond enclosure is a classic...

never dealt with them

i have been playing blues and rock for 28 years. if i lost these i'd buy 2 new ones. i have too many choruses. but these are my favorites. i have fulltone's choral flange and it is great, but the extra knobs and larger size make me like the VL better, plus the VL is warmer and fatter, the fulltone is clearer and more pristine, fir the blues and rock i play the VL work better. i have the boss ce-2 made in japan, black label that every one raves about and it doesn't hold a candle to these. any one want to buy my boss ce-s?

Pedal has two knobs, one for speed, and one for intensity. Pedal is easy to use, however this pedal is VERY limited as far as the NUMBER of sounds you can get from it goes. I read many reviews on this pedal and decided to purchase one from Musicians Friend, there were no places in my area to try one out, so I had to just buy one and see for myself. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED!! Needless to say, the pedal went back to Musicians Friend.

I use three amps (Early 70's Deluxe Reverb, Fender Blues Jr., Fender Hot Rod Deluxe), and my main guitars are a Fender Custom Shop Strat with texas specials, and my vintage Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean. First of all let me say that the TONE of this pedal is very good, however, there was only really one setting which produces this tone. Let me explain. I have a vintage boss Ce-2 in mint condition. This is my FAVORITE chorus of all time, and I bought the voodoo lab chorus so I could use the ce-2 sparingly to keep it in good shape. On the Ce-2, you can get a good usable chorus sound from just about any setting. On the voodoo lab pedal, I could barely even hear the chorus effect at all unless I turned the intensity ALL the way UP, and turned the speed up over the halfway point. This was the only really good sound, anything set less than this point you could barely hear or notice, and anything set over this point was so swirly and fast that it became very annoying after a few minutes. In other words, the RANGE of the chorus is very BAD. Like I said, if you dont set the intensity knob ALL THE WAY UP, and the speed set at over the halfway mark, you can hardly tell that the pedal is on. This is a very warm sounding pedal, my problem with it is that it only makes one sound that I can use. I cant live with that after paying $160. Im giving it a generous 5, because it does sound good on one setting. I like a chorus pedal that has good range to its sound, where at just about any setting, it will produce and nice warm chorus sound that is noticeable and distinguishable. The Boss CE-2 is just that, the voodoo lab analog chorus is not.

Very solid, and very well made, only had it for two days though.

I play mostly classic rock, with a bluesy touch. Im very picky with my modulation effects, and only buy analog effects. I am a youth pastor, and play on two worship teams. I use chorus and flange on some of the slower songs, mainly to add color and fill in the gaps. This pedal is just not versatile enough for me. I have been playing for 6 years and I have had LOTS of chorus pedals (eh polychorus, rocktron tsunami, boss ce-2, ce-3, ce-5, and ch-1, boss digital dimension, morley crystal chorus, guyatone micro chorus, DOD 565 analog chorus, and the voodoo lab chorus). In my opinion, the three best pedals that I have either heard or owned are the Boss CE-2, and the Electro Harmonix small clone and polychorus. If your looking for just one sound, and one only, this pedal might do it for you. Or, if your really into the "Leslie" rotating thing, this might be a good pedal for you. If you want a versatile chorus, look elsewhere.

Great, what else do you need. Presets?

This is response to the few yahoos that don't know what a guitar volume knob is for. This takes care of the gain problem and the thing sounds great from then on. Yes it does boost your gain. No reason for the bad feedback. This sounds as good as any Boss/Fulltone or TC pedal out there. Learn how to use it.

Like some reviews would say this pedal is un-reliable because the don't have a clue how to use it.

I've owned many Vodoo Labs devices and have nevry had to use their support. That kinda answer the top question don't it.

Very easy to use with clean sound.

I am using various amps and guitars. When I use my Strat Ultra with a Bluesbreaker modified Fender Bassman head with a clean tone, the thing is absolutely amazing sounding. Adds some volume boost but very, very lush sounding. A 10.

Like some of the other reviewers I have a huge problem with the way it interacts with overdrive or distortion. I mainly bought it to use with the Bassman. I am A/Bing this with a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier with the Bassman doing clean and the Rectifier doing the heavy gain tones.

I thought that I would try it with the Rectifier. Massive disappointment. How could a pedal that sounded so good suddenly become useless. It can't even handle my TS-9 for overdriven and funky sounds on the Bassman.

I returned it and bought a Small Clone (haven't grilled it yet, will submit review when I do).

It looks very well built. I love the Hammond 1590BB case, cosmetically very attractive, jacks are sturdy looking and in a good position for use on a pedalboard.

I returned the pedal but my guess is that it is fairly reliable as long as you don't super gig it. (Actually, I took it apart before I returned it and found that the pots, jacks, footswitch and 9 volt dc jack are attached directly to a PCB. A ribbon cable is used for the pots. I don't partcularly like that but it's not my problem anymore).

I'm giving it a 5 but that may be unfair as I didn't keep it and I haven't heard much negative opinion about other pedals regarding similar construction techniques. It gets a 5 because these labor saving construction cost should cause the pedal to be a little cheaper than it is.

N/A Never dealt with them.

Sorry Voodoo Labs. If this pedal didn't react so poorly to gain (and yes, I do realize that this is inherent in chorusing to a certain extent) I would give it very high marks. Also, from what I've heard and read, they need to reconsider their claim that it replicates the CE-1. I've never owned one but I have the schematic and after looking inside the AC I have doubts.

As simple as it gets; rate & depth controls, mono output.

Sounds great, only problem is it adds such a big volume boost, it's
unusable in a live situation. It does get really good chorus and rotary speaker sounds, but that doesn't mean a thing if you can't use
it, now does it? I sent it back to where I bought it from and found an
old Boss CE2, much happier with the Boss pedal.The Voodoo Labs pedal is also much noisier than the Boss.

It does seem like a reliable pedal, except for possibly the switch,
which seems a bit noisy and doesn't engage perfectly every time.

Never dealt w/ Voodoo Labs.

Like I said, I think this is a very good sounding pedal, it's just not that useful to me with such a big volume boost. If they could correct that problem with this unit, I would actually consider buying it again, but I would definitely look for one on the used market, because it ain't worth the $160 that it goes out the door for, that's for sure. The only thing this pedal beats the Boss CE2 with is it's rotary speaker effects, they are really quite good. As for now I'm much happier with my Boss CE2 and it cost me $100 less than the Voodoo
Labs Volume Booster (I mean chorus pedal).

2 Knobs, Speed and Intensity. This may confuse some who have been using a Boss CE-1, as the CE-1 only has one knob (and by the way I'm kidding).

I use this with a L.P. classic, L.P. Special (with P-100s) and a PRS McCarty Soapbar. I'm fortunate to have a small fleet of good amps, a Fender Super Champ, Fender Princeton Reverb II, a Marshall Studio 15 and a Mesa/Boogie DC-2. First of all, the effect sounds close to a CE-1 but not spot on (I had a CE-1 and got rid of it because it sucked the tone from my rig). It is really warm sounding not a bright as the CE-2 but again not quite on with the CE-1. I do however have one big complaint (as did the previous reviewer), there is a large amount of noise when using this thing, and that I don't like! But overall it sounds good

Seems to be reliable, don't gig much these days and it's kept on a pedal board.

Never dealt with em'.

Alot of people really dig this pedal, and I do admit it does sound good. I like it better than any of the more recent Chorus pedals on the market; my only complaint is the noise drives me batty (V.L. needs to soften that boost). Not ever having tried the Fulltone Choralflange (can't see spending $300.00 on a pedal), I'd have to say the Voodoo Lab is about the best.

Very straight forward and easy to use.

This pedal boosts your volume and also increases your midrange when on. This makes the VL pedal unusable on stage. I was very diapointed in the performance of this unit. I have owned the Boss CE-1, and this VL pedal does not sound like the CE-1!!

Looks like the pedal is built well and would stand up to mild abuse.

Maybe I got a lemon, but this pedal is not worthy of the price! Stick with the old standby, the Boss CE-2 and save your cash.

Very easy to use, with only two knobs ("intensity" & "speed") and of course the metal stomp switch. If that's not easy enough for you, then maybe you should think about taking up the kazoo or something....Of course it's like anything else, it takes some imagination and experimentation to find a ceratain sound you want even with just two knobs.

i use Fender strats, most of which are fitted with DiMarzio's Hs-3's (stacked single coil pick ups),into Morley "bad Horsie" wah pedal, VOODOO LAB ANALOG CHORUS, into my Rocktron Piranha stereo tube pre-amp, then into my FOCUSRITE platinum stereo compressor. From there i go into my AKAI digital Hd recorder. i also use a Laney 50 watt tube combo amp and a Fender champ 12 (also tube amp) that i borrowed from a friend. The Voodoo Lab chorus sounds absolutley stunning in any of my chosen set ups; Straight into an amp or with other effect processors in line, or into my recorders. Someone mentioned that it doesn't sound good with distortion or overdrive, but i beg to differ. As an avid Jake E. Lee/Yngwie Malmsteen?Randy Rhoads fan, i seem to do fairly well with this chorus even when playing with overdriven & distorted sounds at blazing speeds. i think it has a lot to do with the equipment you use and how clean you are able to play, regardless of whether you use distortion or not. With this effect, i can get Andy's Summer's sound he used on most of The Police albums of the late 70's and early 80's. Andy is so cool! But that is not why you want the voodoo lab chorus. There are thousands of us who are now using this same chorus unit, and i highly doubt we all want to sound the same. So once you find or create YOUR sound with it, use it exclusively to enhance parts of your songs. i have digital chorus in my t.c. electronic's M-One processor, and other types of "Choir choruses" in my Lexicon Vortex, But an analog chorus as rich as this is in a class of its' own. Plus, it is so portable you can stick it in your coat pocket grab a small amp, your axe and go out the door no problem, unlike with a rack unit. One of my favoraite settings on this unit is to have the "speed' knob almost or completely all the way to minimum, and the intensity knob up to at least in the 2-3 '0'clock position. Add a little reverb and exciter or eq and it sounds "shweet".

It's built like a RUSSIAN Tank! (i know, it's always the Russians! LOL)...but it's true. As long as you don't spill any Molson Ice or pizza sauce on it i think it can handle the rigours of touring and of course its good in the studio as well.

Have not dealt with them yet. i've heard nothing but good about them though.

I cant really say "what style of music" i play because i'm still in the process of growing musically and basically developing my own "electic sound". But it's pretty much a combination of everything i've been attracted to, from old blues to progressive metal, classical and new age and jazz music. i've been playing for about 16 years and am "self taught" which basically means i borrowed, stole and traded ideas and attended the school of hard knocks for many years! If my voodoo lab chorus was stolen? i'd find the person who stole it, kill him in his own kitchen, wrap his body pieces in saran wrap and neatly stack them in his freezer. As i mentioned, effects aren't meant for us to sound like each other or someone else. As Mr. Summers said, "It's like your favorite ice-cream flavor, after a while you get tired of it." If you over do it. i never let effects get in my way, it's bad enough i let guitar chords and midi cables get in my way! Compared to the DOD stereo chorus i previously owned, and the Dan Electro cool cat which i tested and ALMOST bought, this chorus is a lot more (i don't want to use the word "organic")....orgasmic, yes that's the word! if there is ONE thing i wish this thing had, it's built in noise reduction, but having said that, i can honestly say that it is NOT noisy for being an analog chorus. depending on the setting i use, i can hear the "swooshy" sound if i play without the noise gate on my compressor on, but it's not highly noticable.

This is an extremely easy pedal to use. With only 2 knobs, one for intensity of the chorus and one for speed, it doesn't get much easier. After you play around with the settings for about a minute you can easily get the sound that you want.

I'm playing an ESP EX-250 through a vintage Yamaha. I usually play hard rock and metal, but every once in a while I want to slow things down and play some nice clean songs. This is the pedal I was looking for. Without a doubt this is the most lush chorus I've ever heard. There's no feedback to speak of, and overall this is probably the best chorus pedal currently on the market. No complaints anywhere.

I'd have to say that it's built pretty well. The casing is really light, but this thing is sturdy and very well put together. Very reliable - just don't drop it. I'd definately use it for clean tones at a gig without a backup.

I had to e-mail them to find out where the serial number was, as it wasn't on any of the documentation or on the unit itself. I got a friendly reply within hours and was told everything I needed to know.

** By the way, if you buy this pedal, the serial number is under the casing, you just have to remove the 4 screws at the bottom **

The Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus is definately the best sounding, easiest to use, most well built chorus pedal I've ever used. If you want a good chorus, this is THE BEST available. Don't hesitate about getting it - you won't be disappointed.

2 easily control knobs, out of the box and ready to go. The knobs are much faster than many traditional boss type knobs, but they are good.

Its rather silent. I turn it on, and I get that goodness only an Analog chorus could give me. I tryed both knobs all the way up, and it gave me such an awesome Leslie effect. Try putting the knobs up like I did, and then ethier throw on a tremolo pedal, or do what I did do volume swells with a volume pedal. On the other settings, it gives a textured sound. One bad part was, that it boosted my volume a lot, so when I threw on my distortion pedal with it, I had to lower the volume of the distortion.

I have the pedal power, and now I have the chorus, and they are the two best pedals that I have. The pedal has a nice click when I put it on, to know I am doing it right. These are the best products bar none. I would definetly gig without a backup

I just got off the phone with them, and they are the best people outside of maybe Gibson. Very friendly, and the good part is that they all knew each other. I knew a customer support guy there, when I got my pedal power, and when I got on the phone with somebody else, they knew who I was talking about, and they told me when he was coming in tommorrow

I play blues, rock, alt, everything, and this pedal is good for anything. I have been playing for 6 years now, and this is the best chorus I have ever used, its a great buy. I don't know if I would buy it again if it was stolen, it was $140, but I got a good deal with no shipping or taxes. I got it from Guitartrader.com, check them out, they have the best prices on Voodoo Lab stuff. It kicks the crap out of anything I have tried, yet I have not tried the Ibanez classic chorus, which I have heard it very good

Two knobs, a footswitch in/out/power and led. One knob is for rate(speed of chorus) the other for intensity(how powerful of chorus). Easy for me to adjust various ranges.

Here lies the rub. I'm going against the grain of the other reviews in order to warn all you folks out there who actually want a chorus for something other than jazz or pretty acoustic guitar work. I play clean once in a while but then I also like putting a little to a lot of tone to my guitar sounds. This pedal will not give you any usable sounds with any tone beyond clean at any setting except off! The weakest distortion pedal I own is an Ibanez TS-9/808 mod. turned to any gain setting with this chorus sounds bad. Well the same holds true for high gain distortion pedals all the way to a Boss MT-2 or Ibanez SM-9 for that matter. So if Randy Rhoads and Kurt Cobain are your guitar gods or Jimi for that matter don't waste your hard earned money on this pretty for clean sounds box. Buy a Boss CE-2 or Electro-Harmonix Clone Theory instead which can be used with distortion. I give this pedal a 10 for clean and a not usable for tone beyond clean for a average of somewhere in the middle. Go ahead and hate it but thats how it turned out for me.
Oh yeah the pop sound when the pedal is stepped on gets old. Remember it only sounds good for nice pretty clean quiets parts then POP oops I meant to sound like that! Sure, I get it...go out and buy all effects with real bypasses that's the problem with my setup, yeah right good answer.

Seems sturdy enough except for the snappy cheap springy feel of the (POP) footswitch. But then again the new MXR switches are about the same so I would have to see if it stands the test of time. MXR's switch still seem more sturdy.

Never needed them got the POP solution if you call replacing all your stuff with true bypass a solution from here.

I sold it and thanked Joe Satriani that no one else knows better yet and got most of my money back and bought a clone theory instead. EH is much more usable for ALL types of music played so is the Boss CE-2 you can get them for $50 bucks on auction sites. If you play just clean then BUY this lush sounding pedal otherwise think again and buy something else more useful.
Sometimes it is as if the guys who built this box are the ones who praise it so highly! The thing wasn't flexible enough for my playing tastes.

Very easy to use. Unit has: one input/out output jack- one on/off switch- one LED- one external power port and speed and intensity knobs. Can't get much easier than this.

Signal Chain To Date: 52 Reissue Tele with ancient Evans Pull String Bender- Maxon Comp.- Boss EQ- Voodoo Analog Chorus- Boss TU-2 tuner- Maxon Analog Delay. This signal is next fed to a fully restored 1965 Fender 85 Watt Showman head with Mullard Mil. Spec. preamp tubes and Philips NOS 7581A output tubes. Speaker cabinet is finger jointed pine with "floating baffle board" - 1 X 12" JBL-E 120 speaker. (Cabinet is a custom job done by Rodgers and is covered in rough blonde tolex with maroon grill.)

I can not really say enough about the sound of this wonderful pedal! This has got to be the best chorus available in a stomp box format. The number of diff. sounds that can be tweaked out of those two simple knobs are incredible!!!!!!! This is the quintessential analog chorus.

Too early to tell... Production values look very good. Unit looks like it can take many years of use and abuse by working musicians.

Love the hard wire bypass feature. When you hit the switch, your signal is out of it. Does not seem to degrade my signal at all. It enhances my tone rather than harms it. To date, I have a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power and this Analog Chorus and I love them both. If lost, I would find it...If stolen, I would steal it back.

Love the organic/lush/deep/hi-fi sound this thing has. Do yourself a big favor and get one ASAP.

So far I haven't found a bad sound in this pedal. It can't get much easier than 2 knobs.

I'm using this after a Wah, 2 x TS-808's, MXR 100 and a BOSS BF-2 then into a black face twin with a STRAT(DiMarzio VV's) and it doesn't make a sound. The true bypass makes the world of difference. I replaced a BOSS CH-1 with this and all of sudden a world of sparkle came to light. With intensity at full and speed an 9 o'clock it breaths beautifully. Now I need to replace the BF-2 with maybe a Micro Vibe or a Deja Vibe II.

Effect cases don't get much stronger than these.

I emailed a few questions, unrelated to this unit, to VOODOO LABS and get a response the very next day from the president, Josh Fiden. I don't think I'd have a problem with support if I needed it. Because of this type of reponse I will definitely look at the VOODOO stuff 1st.

I play everything from dreamy, jazzy stuff to in front of the net in your face rock & roll and so far this seems to be the perfect match.

This unit is very simple and straightforward: one knob to control intensity (depth) and one knob to control speed: classic analog chorus control knobs. The one page manual suggests a few obvious settings: intensity and speed between 11:00 and 2:00 for "normal" chorus, intensity and speed maxed for "Leslie" sound. Bottom line - the unit is very easy to adjust and can be easily done so during performance, especially if you set the box on your amp top to patch it into effects loop.

I'm using this chorus box with a '52 reissue Tele going through a Fender Concert amp (Rivera designed, 2 10s, 60 watt). Additionally I'm using a Danelectro DE-1 Dan-Echo, Fulldrive2 and/or TS-10 Tube Screamer (modded by Analog Mike). I have not been using the Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus in the COncert's effects loop, as I bridge the send and return jacks with a short patch cord, which adds variable gain and volume going to the power section, adjusted by the amp's send and return knobs. I'm running the chorus pedal after the Fulldrive2 and before the Danelectro delay pedal, athen into the Concert's input. The pedal is quiet running and has a true bypass footswitch. When I first obtained it I noticed a loud and objectionable "pop" whenever I turned the unit on or off. I emailed Voodoo Lab and they suggested that running their pedal in line with pedals without a true bypass might result in noise when engaging the unit. I had been using this pedal along with the Ibanez Tube Screamer, which doesn't have true bypass. Problem is alleviated by using my Fulldrive2, but users take note: if you typically use old, vintage effects you may experience audible pops with the Analog Chorus' foot switch. That said, I must admit that this is easily the best sounding chorus box I've ever owned and it sounds better to me than rack-mount digital units I have tried in my rig, e.g. Quadraverb. The sound is open and very sweet with clean/overdriven amp settings, I don't particualrly think that chorus effects ever sound really great with distortion tones. With the intensity at 12:00 and the speed maxed, I get a very shimmering and fairly subtle chorus effect that is useful on ballads and sounds great with sustained chords. The "Leslie" setting sounds good too, although it's not as generally useful as less extreme settings. Both knobs at 12:00 yields great-sounding standard chorus tones, useful just about anywhere. The unit seems to boost the highs a tad, as well as volume; I don't find this objectionable in the slightest. Very musical tones, very useful range, great sound quality.

This unit seems well built, although I'm not an expert in electronics. I don't take a backup; however I don't feel chorus is a deal killer. If the pedal failed I'd just play without it.

Emailed Voodoo Lab about the popping noise described above. They responded the next day with the suggestion that solved the problem. They offered, at the same time, that if their suggestion didn't rectify the problem, to give me a return authorization number. This proved unneccessary. Pretty responsive, I'd say.

This pedal replaced a Danelectro Cool Cat chorus pedal which I thought was fairly mediocre. I had one other cheap Lab Series chorus pedal I used for years; I also used my Qudraverb for a time for chorus effects. This pedal sounds superior to all of them. The other guitarist in my band uses an old Boss chorus pedal, a CE-1, I think. I used to envy his chorus sound, but now I think I have something that equals or surpasses that pedal. I would definitely buy it again if I lost this one. It's a little pricey, but in line with the other boutique pedals. You get what you pay for, generally. I play classic rock, blues, RnB, and some country with this band, and find this chorus pedal complements all styles.

Easy to get a good sound out of only has two knobs speed and intensity how much simpler could it be. Used to use a Boss Se-70 but it was so hard to tweak for me that I onlu used the chorus and I like the sound of this better it is more organic and a nice chime.

I play rock and blues and this pedal is great for the clean sounds. It is a bit noisy I think, I use a strat with single coils so that could be part of noise but I don't notice any noise through my Fulltone Drive 2 it is way quiet. Overall this pedal is the sound I wanted

This pedal is made very strong I would trust it to last a long time. I couldn't afford a backup but I doubt I would ever need one because of the way this thing is built.

I've called and talked to people from Voodoo Lab and they are very friendly and helpful. They answer e-mail pretty fast, they helped me find a dealer in my area which was not easy.

I like this pedal for the added depth it gives my sound and It can really make my guitar sound pretty. I use a Soldano amp with a strat 68 reissue and this seems to be the match I've ben looking for. I say buy one if you can find one they are worth it.

Very easy to use, right out of the box. Keeping with Voodoo Lab's minimalist approach (which I love), 2 knobs - Intensity and Speed. Very easy to get a variety of sounds from the almost infinite combinations of these control knobs. No indicator light, which is a negative when gigging. I understand new models now have them. Input and output jacks are at 12 o'clock, which I prefer to the "in on the right and out on the left" of other pedals.

This is the one - vintage, warm analog chorus. Designed and built to reproduce the Boss CE-1 and it does so perfectly. Everything from a light, shimmery sound to warm, lush chorus to brazen, pulsating sounds are possible. I play a modified Tele (humbuckers) and a Les Paul into a Fender Vibrolux Reverb and the pedal works well with both guitars. No noise whatsoever from the pedal when it's on and true bypass when it's off.

Seems extremely well built. No problems yet and I don't expect any.

As a gigging musician, I like the minimalist approach Voodoo Lab takes with its pedals, the Analog Chorus included. Two knobs give me all the tonal control I want, without having to worry or remember settings. This is a truly great chorus pedal for all types of music. I play mostly blues and it serves me well with both Rhythm and lead parts. Can even get funky if you put an overdrive pedal in front of it. I've tried many other pedals and am glad I finally found this one. It's a keeper, for sure.

Two knobs, I think they're called rate and intensity. Pretty easy, I guess. Manual not too helpful, but what do you need?

I had heard some rave reviews about this pedal and its depth of sound, and it is all true. It is a VERY deep chorus. I play in a surf-rock band, and I stomp it for clean strumming, and it seems to actually boost the signal a bit, almost like a compressor.
I used it live the other night with a new Danelectro DC and Fender Hot Rod Deville (4 x 10) and the clean sound was absolutely heavenly.
This is a strange and wonderful pedal. I very much like just slight chorus, just to flavor a clean sound, and this does that. But what I've been amazed at is how many different TYPES of sounds you can get with the dials at various positions. I need to start writing them down, because every combination of settings with those two simple knobs seems to produce radically different effects, from slight chorus to obnoxious wobbly rotating speaker effects. Sometimes I think it's a little TOO deep, because it actually gets a sort of phase thing going, but I love it anyway.

Looks pretty strong. I understand Voodoo Labs uses only the best components.

I hear this is good, too.

My one complaint is that there's no LED to indicate when the thing's on. With a distortion pedal that might be okay, but a chorus? Another review said something about "sound quality" being effected if there was an LED, and I don't really buy that because many fine effects have them. This is a strong chorus, so you mostly know when it's on, but on all my other boxes, it's just added comfort to know for sure, right away, if it's on or off without playing a note, and I don't have that with this.

Simple as they come. Two knobs for rate and sensitivity. It's a no brainer. My cat could use this thing.

I use an American Strat with EMG pickups, and a Fender amp. My rig is ultra quiet, and the Chorus pedal is also quiet. It blends well with distortion pedals and the like... I think the sounds quality is as close as you can get to a vintage Roland Chorus pedal. You get great vintage chorus, and I can even mimicke the sound on George's Solo on Let it Be.

It's can't brake, it's made of some metal like stuff that is non-destructable.

This people were great! Before I owned the pedal, I mailed the company and they even called me on the phone to talk about the product. This guys are a top notch company with great reissue products.

I play just about every type of music, and anywhere that chorus can be used, this succeeds to fulfill it all. I use it with compressors and wahs, and it goes great. I would like a LED light for it, but that's no biggy considering that if you can't tell the chorus is on, then you suck!! Bottom line? Throw away your digital junk, throw away your BOSS stuff, this is the only Chorus pedal to have.

The Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus is very easy to use. It contains 2 knobs, ("Speed" and "Intensity") a heavy-duty DPDT (Double Pole-Double Throw) stomp switch, and a true-bypass which allows all the pure tone of the guitar come through even when you turn the effect off but still keep it within your signal path from guitar to amp.

The Analog Chorus has a very warm, round sound to it. It sounds very vintage and has a slight "flanger" sound to it. It's actually TOO sweet! It can get noisy when used in conjunction with a distorted amplifier, but that is the nature of older effect units. The sound produced by the Analog Chorus is top-notch and if you're after a vintage chorus sound, I highly recommend it!

All the Voodoo Lab pedals are extremely durable and built well. I think these units could last forever although I never did any heavy gigging with them. (Home use only) All the parts included in the construction of the pedal are of the highest quality.

Josh Fiden of Voodoo Labs has answered my e-mail more thoroughly than any other manufuacturer I have been in contact with. He helped me out with all questions on my Voodoo Lab Micro Vibe even though I bought it used! He also answered all my general questions about pedals that weren't even related to Voodoo Labs at all. You aren't going to get more Customer Service than at Voodoo Labs!

The Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus is easily one of the best-sounding pedals I have ever owned. I recently have decided to sell all my pedals to save for a Line6 AX2 amp and parted with my Analog Chorus earlier this year. I have enjoyed both my Voodoo Labs Analog Chorus and Micro Vibe and would highly recommend them to anyone. Voodoo Lab pedals are of the highest quality and they aren't as expensive as some other "boutique" pedals. Check them out - you won't be disappointed.
