A quite good chorus pedal
A nice thick sounding analog chorus that will allow you to dial in the classic tones of players like Andy Summers, Alex Lifeson and Johhny Marr, just to name a few. I prefer to use this pedal most with a clean to mildly overdriven tone, the rate knob set to about 12:00 and the depth switch turned off. This setting gives me a rich, lush sounding shimmer for strummed and arpegiated chord progressions. With the depth switch engaged (in the "up" position), you can nail the tone on "Come As You Are". I personally think a little goes a long way when it comes to using the depth switch. But, if you are into a more extreme "sea sick" vibrato tone, the Neo will happily deliver. Just make sure you have barf bag nearby ;)
I don't hear a difference between this pedal and the Small Clone. I believe the circuit is the same or close enough as to not make any real difference. After you plug the pedal in, the foot switch will "pop" when you first step on it, but then it won't do it anymore after that, at least in my experience. Also, mine was clipping when I used a moderate to heavy pick attack and playing through humbuckers. All I had to do was turn the internal trim pot counter-clockwise a little bit until I no longer heard any clipping. Problem solved! And, there was no change to the effect's fundamental tone.

Great Quality, Great Sound!
EHX have released this chorus as a smaller version of the famous ?Small Clone? pedal. I believe it is identical sounding in every way and is great for those with limited pedal space and players wanting to power it from a daisy chain AC supply. The quality of the pedal is great, much like every other EHX pedal, with strong construction and parts built to withstand long term use.
When comparing with other Boss chorus pedals I have used in the past, I much prefer the sound of this unit, which can go from a subtle soft chorus to a nice thick chorus, all the way to crazy modulated chorus sounds when using the depth switch. The unit reacts very well to picking dynamics, and suits both a single coil equipped guitar and hum buckers for a thicker sound.
For both recording and live situations this pedal works well, and the sound translates nicely at a loud volume which is not the case for other chorus pedals I have used.
I would definitely recommend as a budget chorus pedal for many different styles!

Neo Clone
USE :
I'm using it in Fx-Loop of my H&K Statesman amp.
PROS & CONS :
After watching many videos online,I decided to give this chorus a chance.I never owned analog chorus before and I was worried about a sound but when I tried this for a first time I was really impressed by sound quality from this little unit.This is excatly what I wanted.Really nice chorus that brings you back to the 80's power ballads.
With only one knob and switch you can really get some nice sounds there.I think I'll keep this boy for a long time.
QUALITY :
Like other Nano series,this unit is medium build quality but I really don't think I'll ever had problems with it cause it's in my pedalboard!
You'll hardly find chours in this price range that sounds so organic and authentic.Go for it!

Classic Chorus tones
This is a smaller version (in terms of footprint not functionality) of the Small Clone Chorus made famous by, amognst other, Kurt Cobain. Chorus pedals are often associated with 80s music and I can see why as you can dial in some classic tones but if you don't want to plant yourself in that era then, even with just a depth switch and a rate dial, you can get a variety of sounds. I really like what I can get out of this pedal and am very pleased with it. In terms of build etc it is Electroharmonix so built like a (small) tank and there aren't a load of complicated settings. If you want a chaorus pedal then this is a very good choice.

Almost perfect!
Rigid, robust, durable and small, like all the EH pedals from this series. I am just a bit dissapointed about the sound. It does the chorus job as promised, but I miss "that special sound" I get on other EH pedals. Still it is good, does the job and is useful in my set, and I would not give it back.

Ok for the price
Its a good chorus for its price but it could be a bit better. The sound is not that great, I preferred if it had a single knob and a better sounding chorus.

It is a great analog chorus in a reasonable price,recomended.
I have in my board for some time now it is a great sounding pedal with very warm tone, although it has only two features in front it can go to some very intresting places by twisting the knob and flipping the switch.
The constuction is solid.
The only problem i have is that every first time i activate the pedal it makes a "paf" sound coming from my speakers, so i switch on and off a couple of times before i open my amp and problem solved.

Hands down my new favourite pedal.
It's a classic for a reason. It has everything the Small Clone has, it's just smaller. I wanted a diverse chorus pedal, for shimmering tones but with the ability to get whacky when needed. I'm slightly scared of my foot snapping the metal switcher, so I just taped over that to avoid kicking it. Otherwise, it's beautiful and sounds fantastic!

Nice chorus
The chorus is really nice, if you like the sound. Can get really deep with a little sea sick sounds :)

Electro Harmonix Neo Clone
I actually bought this pedal just to try something new, i've never used a chorus before but after buying this its in my rig and staying there.
Like all the nano range by EH they are very study and easy to use, all in a little box. the simple one knob and depth switch make it flexible but easy to change.
At one end of the scale you have a nice effect to add to a clean channel to thicken it up a little but, and then at the other end of the scale is a weird almost Korn sounding tone, its so weird, i've not heard anything like that before.
As far as chorus go i've found one on my gsp pre-amp that i like more on the clean channel, but this one is great for the strange, creepy sounds.
Its worth a try defiantly.
