The MXR Analog Chorus is a warm, all-analog bucket-brigade chorus prized for a syrupy, liquid, sparkly, and lush sound that makes everything bigger. It is at its best with a low rate and high depth, giving thick but natural-sounding modulation with the warm profile expected from an analog circuit, and its Rate and Depth controls offer wide range from subtle thickening to extreme, Leslie-like swirl, while a Level control lets players add just a pinch of chorus without dominating the tone. Low and high frequency controls help shape the effect, though the voicing leans to the darker, thicker side. It plays especially well with high-gain tones and stays lush and gorgeous across settings. Regarded as one of the highest-value analog chorus pedals because it offers both analog tone quality and a high level of control, it suits rock, indie, and ambient players wanting rich, warm modulation.
The Walrus Audio Lillian is a true-bypass, all-analog multi-stage phaser offering a wide array of classic and modern phaser tones. Controls for Rate, Width, and Feedback shape the sweep, and a D-P-V blend selects between four-stage and six-stage phasing voicings for everything from subtle, watery movement to deep, resonant, vocal sweeps. The all-analog signal path gives warm, musical phasing reminiscent of revered vintage units, and the Feedback control adds resonance and intensity for more pronounced, liquid effects. Versatile and easy to dial, it covers gentle shimmer through lush, swirling modulation. It suits players wanting warm, flexible analog phaser tones, from understated rhythm animation to dramatic resonant sweeps, across rock, funk, ambient, and classic styles in a compact, well-built pedal.
