The MXR M134 Stereo Chorus is an analog-voiced chorus pedal producing a lush, dimensional modulation that spreads wide and immersive in stereo, adding shimmer and movement to clean and lightly driven tones without overwhelming the dry signal. Rate and depth controls cover a range from a subtle, gentle shimmer to a deeper, more pronounced warble, and the stereo output lets the effect breathe across two amps or a stereo rig in a way a mono chorus can't. It suits alternative rock, indie, and ambient players wanting a rich, spacious stereo chorus that thickens the tone rather than a subtle, barely-there modulation.
The MXR WA38 Wylde Audio Chorus is Zakk Wylde's signature chorus, released to mark twenty years of his collaboration with Dunlop, built on rich analog bucket-brigade circuitry. It is voiced to thicken walls of distortion and add liquid dimension and texture to clean passages, with Level, Rate, and Depth controls plus High and Low cut filters for shaping the modulation. Dual outputs allow a wide, sweeping stereo spread across two amps for maximum spatial chorusing. It ranges from subtle background shimmer to prominent, wave-like modulation, making it useful for both heavy rock rhythm work under high gain and lush clean arpeggios. The warm, vintage-style analog tone suits players who want characterful chorus that holds up with distortion.
