Detail 01
Flanger and chorus in one pedal
Same delay-line circuit at two depth ranges. Short sweep gives jet flange, longer gives thicker chorus.

1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Analog-voiced modulation pedal that covers both flanging and chorus in one box, with stereo outputs. For players who want sweep and shimmer without two separate pedals.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Funk and clean rhythm work where movement matters more than gain
- Players running two amps who want wide stereo spread
- Boards short on space needing chorus and flange in one slot
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting precise tap-tempo or preset recall
- Anyone needing a subtle, barely-there chorus at all settings
- Small mono practice rigs that won't use the stereo half
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Stereo outputs
Splits the wet and dry sides across two amps. Widens the sound instead of just thickening it.
Detail 03
Touch-responsive voicing
Sweep sits behind your picking rather than smearing it, so hard attacks still cut through.
Detail 04
Electro-Harmonix XO series build
Metal enclosure with true footswitch mounting. Built to sit on a gigging board, not just a desktop.
Detail 05
$150 price point
Mid-tier modulation money. You get two effects for what many single-function analog flangers cost.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Stereo only pays off with two amps or a stereo input
- 02Check your power supply's voltage and current before plugging in
- 03Mono use works fine; the second output is optional
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this with just one amp?
Yes. Run one output into a single amp and it works as a normal mono flanger/chorus. The second output is there if you later add a stereo rig.
02Is it a flanger or a chorus?
Both. It's one modulation circuit you set for either — tight fast sweep for flanging, slower and deeper for chorus.
03Does it work on bass?
It's built and voiced for guitar. Bass will pass through, but low-end thinning is common with flangers, so try it before committing.
04Where should it go in my chain?
Typically after drive and before delay and reverb. In front of the amp works; in a loop it stays cleaner under high gain.
