Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Analog Chorus Pedal

Lush, Spacey Analog Chorus

The Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Analog Chorus is one of the most iconic chorus pedals ever made. Known for its lush, spacey modulation and rich analog warmth, the Small Clone has been a staple on pedalboards for decades.

This classic chorus pedal became famous as Kurt Cobain’s chorus of choice, delivering the unmistakable sound heard on Nirvana’s legendary track “Come As You Are.” Its wide, dimensional tone also helped define the sound of artists like J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr.

From subtle shimmering modulation to deep swirling textures and even Leslie-style movement, the Small Clone produces chorus tones full of character and atmosphere.

Simple Controls, Massive Sound

The Small Clone keeps things simple and musical with just two intuitive controls:

• Rate Knob – Adjusts the speed of the chorus modulation
• Depth Switch – Toggles between subtle chorus and deep, dramatic modulation

This streamlined control layout makes the Small Clone easy to dial in while still offering a wide range of classic chorus sounds.

Classic Analog Modulation

Unlike many modern digital modulation pedals, the Small Clone delivers a true analog chorus circuit. The result is a rich, organic modulation effect that enhances your tone without sounding artificial.

Whether you're playing clean arpeggios, thick rhythm parts, or spacious ambient textures, the Small Clone adds depth and dimension to any guitar tone.
