no, it looks very nice but im not a fan of small clones or any clones....

SawaotheBuster

never played it, my guess is Channel 1 and Channel 2, cause it is a chorus pedal...

someone said: Electro-Harmonix always had a way of taking sound effects to the absolute limits. The maximum setting of most chorus pedals are where the Clone Theory starts. The Chorus and Vibrato setting are very potent and will completely consume your sound when stomped. Most players younger players discovered Electro Harmonix?s modulation pedals in the wake of Nirvana. Capturing Kurt's unmistakable blur of chorused leads and slurred noise bursts is a snap with the Clone Theory. While there are other flavors of chorus on the market, the Clone Theory sounds the most liquid and drips with submerged bubbliness. The Vibrato section is a wonderful take on the wavering Magnatone sound of the late fifties and early sixties and sounds stunning. Later models of the Clone added a flanger setting which comes off as pretty lackluster compared to the company's dedicated Electric Mistress unit.

Two different modes of chorusing (CHR1 and CHR2), they'll probably sound a bit different.. plus it has a vibrato mode (VB I think).

Beware of the new Nano/XO Electro Harmonix pedals, people are saying they're very noisy and can't be used in a daisy chain power situation because of the way they're made.

i dislike vibrato pedals

thanks doog..

i think the new EHX pedals, a lot of them just uses 9V. if i'm not wrong..

Doog

They can run off 9v batteries, or a 9v source with a Boss-style adaptor jack, but it's reverse polarity to 99% of the pedals out there with said Boss jack.

Ahh, it may be the same as Ibanez (they are reverse polarity to boss). Electro Harmonix in my eyes make some of the best pedals out there, it's a shame that these new series' seem to be tarnishing their reputation.

PaLo_aLTo

so it can't be chain up with the other boss pedal with the same adaptor right?

thanks...

You can get adapters, I use a Godlyke PA-9 UK, and that came with 2 adapters for the sole purpose of daisychaining Ibanez pedals or other reverse polarity pedals. Get an adapter from Godlyke or Diago.

The diffrence between CH1 & CH2 modes is that in CH1 the depth control is disabled. Personally I think the Small Clone sounds a zillion times better.

hehe, I just use the harmonizer on my Boss ME-50 and set the harmony to 0 and alter the effect level to get the desired sound.
