Electro Harmonix Small Clone Guitar Effect
The Electro-Harmonix Small Clone reissue brings back the legendary analog chorus pedal made famous by Kurt Cobain, delivering the classic warm, dimensional sound heard on countless Nirvana tracks. With just a Rate knob and a Depth switch, this stompbox ranges from subtle shimmer to lush, swirling effects. True bypass preserves your dry signal when the effect is disengaged.
- Classic analog chorus circuitry in a compact pedalboard-friendly enclosure
- With a single Rate knob for modulation speed and a Depth switch for subtle or dramatic modulation, players can dial in their ideal sound quickly.
- True bypass keeps the unaffected guitar signal completely intact
- Pedal can run on the included 9V battery or an optional 9.6V DC adapter, making it suitable for both portable and fixed pedalboard setups
Electro-Harmonix Small Clone — The Legendary Analog Chorus Reissue
The Electro-Harmonix Small Clone is a reissue of the classic analog chorus pedal associated with Kurt Cobain. Guitarists seeking unmistakable analog chorus tones turn to this model for its ability to deliver everything from clear shimmer to warm, pulsating warbles—sounds that digital pedals rarely capture authentically. The Small Clone offers a chorus character that stands out on any board.
Why the Small Clone Stands Out
What sets this pedal apart is the uncompromising analog circuit design. Use the Depth switch to toggle between two frequency-change intensities, and the Rate knob to sweep modulation speed. Its nickel-steel chassis is built to faithfully replicate the highly collectible original.
Signal Path and Connectivity
Signal flow remains transparent thanks to mono input and output jacks that integrate easily into any setup. When disengaged, true bypass switching keeps your dry signal untouched and free from coloration.
- Input: 6.3 mm TS mono jack — accepts standard instrument-level signals from guitar or bass
- Output: 6.3 mm TS mono jack — sends the mixed dry/wet chorus signal onward
- With the true bypass mode, you can be sure the circuit is fully removed from your signal path when switched off.
Controls and Circuit Design
Everything essential is on the control surface. Adjust the Rate knob to set LFO speed, and use the Depth switch to select between two fixed modulation intensities.
- Rate Knob: single rotary control — sets chorus modulation speed from slow swirls to faster Leslie-like warbles
- Depth modulation is managed by a two-position toggle, providing either gentle shimmer or dramatic, deep effect depending on your preference.
- Circuit Type: analog — all-analog signal path for the warm, organic chorus tone
Power Requirements and Physical Footprint
This pedal suits both portable and permanent setups. It accepts a standard 9V battery for quick sessions or can be powered by an optional adapter for pedalboard use.
- Battery Power: 9V battery (included) — portable operation for street performances
- The DC adapter input (9.6V DC at 200 mA, center-negative, not included) is provided for permanent pedalboard mounting.
- Current Draw: 12 mA — low consumption extends battery life
- Dimensions: 86 x 133 x 70 mm — compact footprint with room for top-panel labeling
Тype: Chorus
Chorus is an effect that duplicates the original signal, slightly delays and detunes it, creating the impression of multiple instruments playing in unison. The result is a rich, wide, and spatial sound. Chorus is often used to enhance clean guitar tones, as well as vocals and other instruments, and is common in pop, rock, and ambient music.
True Bypass: Yes
It has a true bypass function, which ensures that when the effects are turned off, the signal passes directly through the unit without influence or degradation.
Inputs: Jack 6,3 mm TS
A universal connector used to connect various audio devices.
Outputs: Jack 6,3 mm TS
A universal connector used to connect various audio devices.
Battery Operation: Yes
Battery power provides flexibility and mobility. This feature allows you to use the device anywhere, even in places where an electrical outlet is not available. Battery power is ideal for situations that require portability and independence from the grid, whether you're outdoors, on the road, or in a location with limited access to electricity.
