Distinct Chorus Modes

Chorus 1
Captures the classic bucket-brigade style chorus of the 1970s—the iconic sound heard on countless influential recordings. Warm, rich, and instantly recognisable.

Chorus 2
Delivers a more vibrant stereo chorus with a higher modulation rate near the range’s end, offering shimmering vibrato-like textures that enhance depth and movement.

Flanging
Not a traditional flanger; instead, this mode reproduces the subtle comb-filtered phasing effect of a rare 70s chorus pedal’s flanging setting—luscious and smooth without harshness.

Performance and Flexibility

Switching between modes is seamless via an easy-access button on the pedal’s surface. Tap tempo is elegantly integrated—hold the footswitch for two seconds to activate rhythmic input, allowing tight syncing with your playing. Mono or stereo modes and bypass settings further customise your sound for studio or stage.

The rugged metal chassis and innovative glow-in-the-dark knobs ensure durability and usability on dark stages or in dim studio spaces. The included Mounty-P plates guarantee steadfast attachment to any pedalboard, making the CHO-mini a reliable companion for musicians demanding professional-grade chorus tones in a petite footprint.
