Detail 01
Rate 0.25Hz to 7.5Hz
Slow end is a gentle drift over several seconds; fast end gets into wobbly, almost vibrato territory.

MXRM148 Micro Chorus Guitar Effects Pedal
dynamicfunk
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Compact analog-voiced chorus with one knob. For players who want a fixed, workable chorus sound and no menu to manage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding shimmer to clean funk and rhythm parts
- Small boards where a full-size chorus won't fit
- Players who want one knob, not four
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing depth, width or tone control
- Players chasing deep rotary or vibrato-style warble
- Stereo rigs — this is a single mono output
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
Delayed signal rolls off at 4.5kHz
The wet side is darker than the dry, so highs stay clear and the chorus sits under the note instead of hissing.
Detail 03
3.9ms to 5.4ms delay time
Short delay range, so this thickens and detunes rather than doubling. No slapback or flanger-style sweep.
Detail 04
True hardware bypass
Out of the circuit when off, so it won't dull your tone at the end of a long chain.
Detail 05
Zinc housing
Heavier than aluminum for its size and stays put on a board under a boot.
Detail 06
1 mOhm input impedance
High enough to sit first in line after the guitar without loading down pickups.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No power supply included; needs 9V DC or a battery.
- 02One knob means the depth is fixed — you set speed only.
- 034-3/4 by 2-3/4 inches — measure your board before ordering.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it take a battery?
Yes, it runs on a 9V battery or a standard 9V DC pedal supply. Neither is in the box.
02Is it stereo?
No. Single input, single output, mono.
03Can I control the depth?
No. There is one rate knob. Depth is set internally and does not change.
04Where should it go in my chain?
After drive and before delay and reverb is the usual spot. Its 1 mOhm input also handles going straight after the guitar.
