A chorus pedal is a modulation effect that blends a guitar signal with slightly detuned copies of itself, giving a shimmering, watery width like several instruments at once.

About Chorus Guitar Pedals
A chorus pedal duplicates your signal, detunes the copies ever so slightly and blends them back together, creating the shimmering, watery sound of several instruments playing at once. From subtle thickening on clean arpeggios to the lush wobble of 80s pop and new wave, chorus remains one of the most loved modulation effects.
SWAMP stocks chorus guitar pedals from JOYO, Rowin, NUX, MOEN and Foxgear, including compact minis for crowded boards and analog circuits for vintage warmth. Most feature simple rate and depth controls, so dialling in a usable tone takes seconds. Chorus sits naturally alongside our other modulation effects, so explore flanger pedals, phaser pedals and tremolo pedals, or stack it with an analog delay and reverb for dreamy ambient textures.
Chorus Pedal FAQs
What does a chorus pedal do?
It splits your signal, slightly delays and detunes one copy, then mixes it back with the original. The tiny pitch differences make one guitar sound like several playing together, adding width, movement and shimmer.
Where does chorus go in the pedal chain?
Place chorus after drive pedals and before delay and reverb. Running it late in the chain keeps the modulation clear and stops it muddying your distortion.
What is the difference between analog and digital chorus?
Analog chorus uses bucket brigade chips for a warmer, darker wobble, while digital chorus is brighter and cleaner with more flexibility. Neither is better; the choice comes down to the era of tone you are chasing.
