Sound Profile
The MXR M134 Stereo Chorus delivers warm and rich analog modulation that adds depth and texture to your tone. The Rate control adjusts the speed of the modulation, while the Intensity and Width knobs shape the strength and depth of the effect, allowing for everything from gentle, shimmering enhancements to deep, swirling chorus effects. The Bass and Treble EQ controls provide additional tonal shaping, enabling you to brighten or darken the effect as desired. The Bass Filter switch is especially useful for bassists or players using low tunings, as it ensures the chorus effect doesn’t muddy the low frequencies, keeping the bass response tight and articulate.
