The Carl Martin Classic Chorus is an analog chorus pedal offering warm, vintage-voiced chorus modulation from Carl Martin's classic product line. Uses bucket-brigade device (BBD) analog circuitry to produce organic, musical chorus tones that complement both clean and slightly driven guitar tones. Controls include Rate and Depth for standard chorus speed and intensity adjustment. Danish boutique construction. Suited for classic rock, pop, country, and vintage-inspired styles where warm analog chorus character is preferred over digital alternatives.
