Overview
The Small Clone quickly became one of the most recognizable chorus pedals ever produced. Its wide, dimensional modulation helped shape the tones of alternative rock, grunge, and post-punk, while remaining a staple for guitarists, producers, and sound designers seeking authentic analog chorus character.
In collaboration with Electro-Harmonix, its character has been brought into the digital domain using detailed component-level modeling, faithfully recreating the behavior of the pedal’s circuitry and analog signal path.
Take a listen
A defining chorus
An instantly recognizable chorus that is lush, wide, and full of movement. Its analog modulation introduces subtle irregularities that add natural depth and musicality. The Small Clone helped define the chorus textures of the early ’90s and remains a go-to effect decades later.
Simple and musical
The Small Clone’s design is built around simplicity. A single Rate control adjusts the speed of the modulation, from slow movement to faster swirling textures. The signature Depth switch engages a deeper modulation voice, shifting the chorus from subtle dimension to the rich, liquid movement that defines the pedal’s sound.
Built for modern workflows
Exclusive plugin-only features extend the original design for modern workflows. Benefit from full automation and instant recall, and sculpt the signal with dedicated input and output filtering.
