Description
Few chorus pedals carry as much rock history as the EHX Small Clone. This reissue keeps the original circuit intact, delivering the same analog chorus voice that Kurt Cobain leaned on for that instantly recognizable, watery shimmer. Plug in and you’ll hear why it’s remained a pedalboard staple for decades.
Control comes down to just two knobs: Depth and Rate. Keep both low for a subtle, glassy widening that adds dimension without stepping on your tone. Push them higher and the effect blooms into a slow, pulsating warble — thick, hypnotic, and full of character. Because it’s an analog circuit rather than digital modulation, the modulation feels organic and slightly imperfect in the best way, never sterile.
Placement is straightforward: drop the Small Clone late in your signal chain, after gain and distortion pedals, for the cleanest sweep and depth. It also plays well ahead of delay or reverb if you want the modulation baked into your ambience before it trails off.
- True bypass for a transparent signal when the effect is off
- 9V battery included, so it’s ready to play right out of the box
- Simple two-knob layout: fast to dial in, easy to tweak on the fly
Whether you’re chasing ’90s grunge tone or just want a chorus with real depth and warmth, the Small Clone delivers a sound that’s stood the test of time.
