Yamaha CH-10M2 Chorus

2 knobs

speed

This is my holy grail of chorus.
I have owned:
TC SCF
Carl Martin ChorusX2
Boss Ce-1,ce2,ch1,ce5
Ibanez ch-9, digital chorus
Keepey modded boss ce02
Line 6 modulation modeler
dano cool cat

This is the best I've ever heard. It defines the chorus effect. Does not change my tone just adds the best chorus Ive heard in my28 years of playing and the past 15 years on the road touring with national acts,

Im risking letting the cat out of the bag and raise the prices of these but everyone deserves to hear one.

Ive gigged with this pedal for the past 2 years and the pedal is from the 80's. Its reliable.

The best Ive heard and to top it off, I paid $13 usd for it in a pawn shop.

great analog chorus. This pedal defines analog chorus.

I love this line of pedals. sturdy as all hell.

these pedals are sooooo sturdy.

no backups need apply.

who knows. these are so old. Yamaha is great for other things but who knows about a 25 year old pedal.

Alternative. I only use analog, and this is the best analog chorus i have heard. even though there are not that many.

Typical two control Chorus pedal with speed and depth. Plug in and play, sounds are evident immediately by turning the speed and depth knobs. No manual with this unit but I did score the original box which was novel for a pedal this old.

I'll pass on the set-up, people don't care about that...they want to know about the pedal.

No noise from this unit, very quiet in operation and I could not detect any noticeable tone less when in bypass. I have an earlier Yamaha Chorus pedal from the late 70's, the CH-01, and this pedal is much weaker effect when compared. The Chorus on this unit is excellent though and would suit players who want a less intrusive effect on their dry signal. With the Speed and Depth maxed out the effect is very Leslie like and you can obtain some solid chewy chorus tone here.

The fact that this Chorus is analog appealed to me and I would rate this a mid range Chorus in terms of the strength of the effect. Brilliant sounds.

I scored this off the Bay and it needs a new switch which is on the blink. To be fair this may have been due to the personal abuse of the previous owner so judging by the overall build quality, steel case, recessed controls etc... I would say this unit is rock solid, and it is.
I'd gig it without backup once I get the new switch.

N/A

Been playing for 17 years, own a truck load of gear. If the unit was stolen or lost I wouldn't feel so bad as I have two of these and the Yamaha CH-01.

The steel casing and the unusual design of the pedal make this a mojo must as well as the fact that it is analog and an 80's pedal. The sounds on this chorus are lush and very classy. If you want a Chorus capable of heavy detune, this is not the one but it is capable of some nice chewy wobble at the top of it's game.

A great Chorus pedal thats a total sleeper!

Two knobs, could not be easier.

Not noisy, sounds great. I have lots of chorus pedals, including the Arion SCH-1. I like this one very much. One thing in particular is the speed. On max speed it matches the fast speed on my Fender Vibratone, no looking for the sweet spot, just crank it up and go. The depth is goes from a soft swirl to a slightly detuned sound, and everything in between, also very nice. I use it with a variety of guitars and amps, and it sounds great with all of them, as well as other pedals.

20 years old and still going strong. Tough metal box, with the knobs well protected, they're recessed so you don't step on the knobs, just the switch.

Would sound good for any style of music. Does just whay I want it to. My favorite chorus so far, mainly because I'm knob challenged, don't want to spend too much time finding a good sound, and with this pedal you don't have to.

Very easy, 2 knobs, rate and depth.

Second output jack for stereo.

Setup is Epiphone SG400 or Ibanez Roadstar thru Dean Markley 50 amp, various other pedals.

This is a very quiet pedal, although not quite silent. It does not effect your tone when bypassed.

The effect can go quite deep, (deeper than I would usually venture) but there are faster rates on other pedals. You get a nice subtle chorus at 11 o'clock and a strong effect at 3.

Character of the chorus is fairly lush, it is a "vibe" sounding chorus, similar to the Marshall SV Chorus. Neither especially warm nor cool.

You can combine it with some distortion without overpowering the effect. I find lots of effects get washed out once you distort the sound.

The stereo split is very nice sounding, if you have two amps.

This is a very good chorus pedal, on a par with, but different sounding, than a new small clone or a Boss CE3; not as versatile as a Boss Chorus Ensemble.

It is a heavy steel unit with a very solid footswitch and tight jacks.

Never had to deal with them.

I play everything from Blink to Nirvana to Black Sabbath to Cream to Blues. Does a fine job for the Small Clone sound on Nirvana covers.

I have a pile o pedals along with the gear mentioned above.

If it were lost or stolen I probably wouldn't find another one. I probably have to spring $60 or $70 for a Small Clone.

It was a great deal for $35 bucks. It would be a better pedal if it could do the cool, thin chorus that the Edge from U2 uses.

2 knobs ...simple

Like the flange It is Super Warm. Very Sweet chours. It can do a 12 string sound if you crank up the depth and put the rate at 9 O'clock!! Note though that the Rate does not increase the speed too much even at full power. Thatswhat i love about this pedal though. i have a Arion Stereo Chorus , aClone clone and a Boss Ce-2. oh yes the DOD Stereo Chorus FX65 also. This yamaha sounds the best.Nice MN3207 and MN 3102 BBD chips(analog BABY) nice!! THis yamaha serise of effects the 10MII series kicks ass ! If you find them Buy them!! They sound great!!

Its metal and it lasted this long still rockin'!!!

Its a old pedal....

Sweet Warm Analog Chorus. For the price yamaha does it again ....a must own!
