Analog chorus effects pedal

The Kmise Analog Chorus pedal is a wonderful choice for anyone looking for that lush, warm, and rich modulation that analog pedals are known for. It has a bright, vibrant tone with a slightly poppy edge, making it perfect for clean, shimmering chords or layered textures. For my demo, I played a riff from one of Her’s songs twice—first clean with slight reverb using the neck pickup, then again with the pedal engaged. The analog chorus added a beautiful depth and movement to the tone, really bringing out the character of the riff. This pedal has a simple layout with just two controls—Rate and Depth—but it’s all you need to shape the effect. I set the Rate around 80% for a quicker, more lively modulation and cranked the Depth to 100% for a full, lush sound. The result was a dynamic and warm chorus that sits perfectly in the mix without sounding too overbearing. Whether you’re playing indie rock, pop, or even dipping into ambient soundscapes, this pedal delivers a smooth, musical tone that works beautifully. The build is solid and compact, with an aluminum alloy casing and a clean, eye-catching blue finish. It’s lightweight and runs on a standard 9V DC power supply (not included), so make sure you have one on hand. While it’s incredibly affordable at just $20, it doesn’t feel like a budget pedal—it holds its own, offering the kind of analog richness and tonal flexibility that’s hard to find in this price range. This pedal works great for adding shimmer and movement to your clean tones or even stacking with other effects like delay or reverb for more ambient vibes. The neck pickup really complements its sound, giving a smooth, rounded tone that pairs perfectly with the analog modulation. Honestly, if you’re building a board or just looking for a high-quality chorus to experiment with, the Kmise Analog Chorus is a fantastic choice. It’s simple, effective, and sounds amazing. Check out my demo to hear how it transforms a clean tone into something truly special!

This analog chorus pedal is absolutely fantastic! The sound quality is exactly what I was looking for - rich, warm, and full of character. The chorus effect is incredibly lush without being over-the-top or too warbled. It adds beautiful depth and dimension to my tone, whether I'm playing clean arpeggios or full chords. I love how it sits perfectly in the mix and makes everything sound more spacious and alive. The analog circuitry really shines through. There's a warmth and organic quality to the modulation that digital pedals just can't replicate. From subtle shimmer to that classic 80s swirl, this pedal nails it all. The controls are intuitive and responsive - it's easy to dial in the perfect sound for whatever I'm playing. Build quality feels solid too, so I'm confident it'll hold up to regular gigging. If you're looking for a chorus pedal that delivers gorgeous, classic analog tones, this is the one. My guitar has never sounded better! Highly recommend to anyone looking to add some texture and movement to their sound! 🎸

A classic, two-knob analog chorus that’s worth far more than the asking price. This is not a gooey, syrupy chorus; in fact, it’s surprisingly subtle at moderate settings, getting just a tad seasick at the extreme ends of the pot range. The only “issue” I can name for this pedal is a common one for all choruses of this type: you’ll get a slight volume bump when the effect is on due to the way chorusing works. Not really a problem, but just something to be aware of if you’re not familiar with this sort of chorus. All in all, it’s a good chorus. Not a great one, but perfect for those who just want a little light modulation to thicken up the tone without calling attention to the effect. And for the price? You can’t go wrong!

The pedal has some nice chorus sounds, but the foot switch is hugely noisy when turned either on or off. Fortunately, I am using it in a system that has a selector foot switch before the pedal, so I can turn it on and off before activating that group of pedals. Would I buy it again? For the overall sound of the pedal, yes, I would. But because of the noisy switching, I would hesitate. I already have a TC Electronic "Afterglow" chorus pedal, and that switching is completely silent. But I like the Kmise because it adds some different tones/sounds that I like. If you have a on/off footswitch or a volume pedal, the problem is solved. Otherwise you might want to look elsewhere and spend a bit more to get silent switching.

Fantastic pedal for under $20. Well made, easy to use and does not color your signal. Very easy to dial in 80's new wave guitar tones. Would highly recommend it. Does not include a power supply, but we've all got 9v supplies lying around right?

pedal has a very weak chorus output amp gain set very high to get chorus effect not a good pedal

Pretty good ofr the price, not the most fancy chorus out there but does the work

First, this pedal sounds terrific. It is an excellent chorus pedal for the price. My problem is that I stick my chorus effects in my FX loop, which is where the issue with this pedal comes into play. When this is plugged into my FX loop, the on/off switch causes an enormous pop which completely interrupts anything else going on - it is much louder than the guitar itself even. It also causes all the other pedals in my FX loop to pop. I know that this is due to the true bypass, which is unfortunate because I really like this pedal... but I will have to return it and buy a different one due to wanting to have my effects in their desired locations. Really, If you do not plan to use this in your FX loop, this is a very good chorus pedal

I've been playing guitar for 40 years. Boss and Yamaha were my go-to pedals back when I was actively playing gigs, so I wasn't really expecting a lot from this inexpensive pedal. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised at how good this sounds... it gave me just enough chorus to add that extra layer of sound without getting annoying or too wonky sounding, and their "true bypass" really is... there is zero noise going through the pedal whether it is in use or bypassed. Impressive. I'm just getting back into recording music, and although I am a rhythm player (mostly country) on acoustic and archtop guitars, I'm going to start adding other pedals from the KMISE line to my arsenal because not only are they a great value for the money, I can achieve other sounds and tones if I need them for certain tracks without breaking the bank. For how inexpensive these are compared to the bigger name brands, can you afford not to have a few of these pedals in your musical toolbox?

I really like this pedal, does exactly what I need. I won't add "for the money" as it is as good as pedals 3 or 4 times the cost so the fact it was inexpensive is a bonus. I know some pedal snobs will find fault but I would say most amateur players will enjoy this pedal.

For the price point , it is adequate. I would not play a show with it..good for a basement superstar...

Makes a high pitched buzzing whenever engaged. Likely due to cheap components. Unusable.

Was hoping to just contact the seller directly but I cant seem to find that option. Pedal came, looks as was depicted. I also bought the vintage phase. While the vintage phase is quiet when switching the chorus is not. Theres a loud pop, and that wont do. So, if the seller reads this please contact me so we can work this out. Then I'll do a proper review. :) .thanks
