Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Carl Martin Atlantic Chorus (model CM-ATLCHS) is a compact analog chorus pedal with integrated level boost and variable vibrato blending. Features top-mounted connector jacks, a premium Ocean Blue anodized die-cast enclosure, and an analog circuit delivering warm, organic chorus character. Variable vibrato blending via the Rate control enables chorus depths beyond standard range into full vibrato territory. Suited for rock, pop, and country styles where warm analog modulation is preferred.

The Malekko Thicken is a chorus and vibrato pedal from US boutique manufacturer Malekko Heavy Industry (Portland, Oregon), delivering lush analog-voiced chorus and vibrato with a Thicken control for adding body and fullness to the modulated signal. The Thicken provides musical chorus and vibrato character at Malekko Portland boutique quality.
