The Micro Chorus allows you to quickly dial up a stunning range of old-school bucket-brigade chorus textures with a single Rate control.

With its simple operation and stellar analog tone-the MXR Micro Chorus joins the ranks of MXR Classics such as the Phase 90, Dyna Comp Compressor, and the Micro Amp. This '80s reissue delivers a stunning range of rich chorus textures, from sparkly watery shimmers to intense rotating speaker simulation with a twist of the Rate control. The Micro Chorus is designed with old-school bucket brigade technology for warm analog tone and features true bypass for pure guitar tone when the pedal is off. Its road-worthy hardware and components are housed in a space saving Phase 90 sized box.
