The Ibanez CS5 Chorus is a classic analog chorus pedal from Ibanez’s early compact pedal era, known for its warm modulation and distinctly musical character. Produced in Japan during the early 1980s, the CS5 is regarded as a more subtle and organic-sounding alternative to later chorus designs, making it especially well suited for clean tones, arpeggios, and gentle modulation rather than extreme effects.

The pedal features a straightforward control layout with Speed and Width knobs. Speed adjusts the rate of modulation, while Width controls the depth of the chorus effect, allowing anything from light shimmer to lush, swirling movement. The CS5 delivers a smooth, slightly dark chorus voice that blends naturally with the dry signal and works well for guitarists seeking vintage character rather than hi-fi clarity.

This particular unit, serial number 233384, is missing the battery cover. This does not affect the sound or overall operation of the pedal. The Ibanez CS5 remains a highly regarded vintage chorus pedal, appreciated for its understated sound, solid construction, and distinctive place in Ibanez’s classic effects lineup.
