About This Listing

You've heard the Electro-Harmonix Small Clone chorus pedal . The Small Clone was Kurt Cobain's chorus pedal of choice, responsible for the dimension in "Come As You Are" and other Nirvana tracks. The Small Clone's rich, spacey, and totally analogue tones have kept it on the must-have stompbox list for more than 20 years. Take the Small Clone chorus pedal from a subtle shimmer to a pulsating warble to crazy Leslie-style effects.

The Electro-Harmonix Small Clone is a reissue of the chorus pedal Kurt Cobain used in creating Nirvana's grungy sound. The Electro-Harmonix Small Clone analogue chorus pedal delivers luxurious analogue chorus, a distinctive tone, and flexibility that sets it apart from similar guitar effects pedals. To produce the Chorus effect, the Small Clone bends the input frequency slightly and mixes this altered signal with some direct unaffected signal. The combination produces a doubling effect.

A Depth switch and Rate knob make this an easy-to-operate stomp box. Simple tweaks generate exciting doubling effects, chiming 12-string-style sounds or Leslie-like warbles. Its solid nickel steel case replicates the highly collectible original. The Small Clone operates on a 9V battery or optional AC adapter.

Chorus is a time-based effects where a slightly detuned and delayed version of a guitar signal is played back with the original which produces a doubling effect, which produces a thicker, lusher tone. The original effect was produced by the Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, though later effects would add multiple detunings and delays to produce a rich, glossy choruses. Andy Summers of The Police was quick to use the chorus effect, and it has only gotten more popular over the years.
