+Austin I really appreciate the kind words man, thank you! :) You'll be pleased to know that I shot a new demo video over the weekend, so I should have it edited and up in a few days hopefully! :D
Great video! I love that you played bits of actual songs rather than the usual classic rock/blues riff wanking that most people do on these. Thank you! :)
Exactly! Great to hear it with real songs and brilliant to have the settings in the little window, clear as day. I just got one of these recently (I've started down the pedal rabbit hole.....) and this video gives me some ideas to try. Thanks Elliot!!
You have done a service by providing us with this video. This is possibly the best pedal demo I've seen. You killed it opening up with Smashing Pumpkins in the background. The tone is so on point. I love it. I had always figured this was kind of the golden standard as far as chorus pedals go but your video really confirmed it. Thanks alot brother! Great job here. This is THE TONE of the care free "whatever" mindset of the grunge era 90's. Marcy Playground, Smashing Pumpkins, Aleka's Attic, etc.
Best review on TH-cam. I just purchased this pedal because of your review. Loved how you showed the actual settings. Fantastic playing too. Top quality. Please keep them coming. The English sure do know their music!!!
Excellent video from start to finish. I have been scouring the internet seeking a professional, complete, demonstration of this pedal...so glad I found yours. Great playing, along with "clearly" showing the actual settings used for all the various songs and artists from clean to crunchy styles. I really like this format....well done! A+
What an insanely eclectic compilation of music. Subscribed based solely on that. Excellent chops but a really great understanding and expectation of the functions of this pedal.
Not an overkill of technical information talk, with lots of settings over good, well known tunes. Great video man! I hope MXR supported you, you deserve it. I also play a tele of this vintage/variety ('89), so I love your strat shamelessly as well.
What amazing sounds you're getting with this man! Fantastic demo. Love the idea of playing lots of famous riffs that use a similar effect! As always, I'm blown away by how clean your playing is! Keep up the great work buddy!
Literally bough this before doing a ton of research (which never happens for me) and this smashing pumpkins demo really hammered it in for me. Beautiful, thanks you!
I got IK Multimedia Amplitube 3, Fender and Metal packages and the chorus in the rack option made me spent some time tweaking to get what I wanted, but with this video the PICTURE now is wider than ever, I got more ideas. Thanks for your time and dedication.
I love the fact you used a lot of popular tunes to put this pedal into perspective so great job. The official MXR jazz demo absolutely sucked. Thanks for helping me decide if I am going to keep this pedal or not :)
I'm so happy that I found your video. This pedal has the tones I'm chasing after. I will be purchasing one later this week. Thank you!! You gained a new sub!
Excellent demo. This helped me make my decision, went and tried a few different chorus pedals at my local dealer, this MXR was just right, will be purchasing this pedal. Good work. Cheers : )
My man u made me not regret getting this, thx for showing the settings and especially love the pumpkins settings, will revisit my settings and even try the stereo capabilities now that I have a fender hot rod deluxe 1x12 and Orange 2x12 combo to play with!!
Thank you again Elliot for the quick response. I am seriously gonna be adding that chorus to my pedal board. You gave an excellent demonstration & you play very well for a young man. Stay enthused & keep on rocking! Btw, also a great selection of songs that u picked for the demo. 👍🎸🎶
Hello Elliot...I was looking for a good review of this pedal the MXR M234 and was unable to find a minimally decent and well done, comprehensive review/demo until I just happened to stumble onto your video. Congrats for a very well done video. Cheers. Mike.
Not to mention when you brits go from metal to well mannered and it's awesome XD Great handwork, wonderful pick technique, good understanding of your gear... I appreciate this from a reviewer.
Elliot Stent Tnx! I actually own one from 1992! I'm searching for few pedal fx to try out. I've always used the built in fx on my JM-150. I was looking at the M234 and the MXR Stereo chorus (the yellow one) are you familiar with it? Any suggestions?
+EA Valdemar Awesome! 😄 I was looking at the MXR Stereo Chorus before settling on the M234, but went for the latter as I don't use a stereo rig and it was less expensive 👍 Still sounds great though!
Very good demo, young man. Keep on demoing with clean guitar sound; your guitar is very articulate. Nice playing, too. Was hoping for some David Gilmour cover but what you did was very nice. You gained another new subscriber.
Thanks for your comment John, appreciate it! I really need to "properly" get into Pink Floyd and Gilmour's playing, I'm sure I will at some point :) Cheers for subscribing too!
I own this pedal and let me tell you is one of the best chorus pedal that actually exist on the market. If you use a Boss DD-3 with this one. You are not going to believe the sounds that comes through your guitar. You can make either Ambient music or Ballad. Little con is that the rate knob is kinda sensitive with the speed so you gotta mix that up carefully.
I'm still trying to dial up a right sound, I have a Boss Ce-3 but it has some issues so I had to switch out and purchased this one as it seems solid, this video is helpful with the settings, I just felt the effect kicked in either too much or not enough so too much tweaking but that's actually a plus now that I look back, it is very musical and versatile
@@luisangelEXALTA It is! Is indeed a great pedal. Something to keep in mind is that it's a tone sucker. Meaning that you have to put this pedal before the others and not after. But besides, you can play basically any genre with this pedal.
Huh... Rhinoceros, Hummer, a Fender strat with that beautiful Lace Senor set... a fellow Pumpkin fan? Anyway, great demo! Might be getting one of these soon.
Elliot Stent I loves me some stp, but man oh man those highs made my ears bleed a bit, I could’ve sworn in the record they had some heavy mids too or something, idk I’d have to hear it again
Hey bud! So I bought this pedal, love it!! Super versatile and cheap chorus. Is it just me or do you get a little noise from it??? I have to see if it’s my cables or power supply (although the strymon Zuma power is supposed to be noiseless!!!!)
@@joshua0226 I don't remember having any noise issues with the pedal, but I've always used a noise gate through my amp's effects loop, so if there was any noise from it, I wouldn't have known!
Man you gotta do more demos of some pedals when you can. Best demo I have ever seen, thank you sir.
+Austin I really appreciate the kind words man, thank you! :)
You'll be pleased to know that I shot a new demo video over the weekend, so I should have it edited and up in a few days hopefully! :D
Great video! I love that you played bits of actual songs rather than the usual classic rock/blues riff wanking that most people do on these. Thank you! :)
Cheers man, that's exactly what I try to avoid! Haha XD

Lex Thistlethwaite Wow, thank you so much for writing such an awesome comment! I really appreciate it :)
I agree, spot on
Best review on TH-cam. I just purchased this pedal because of your review. Loved how you showed the actual settings. Fantastic playing too. Top quality. Please keep them coming. The English sure do know their music!!!
+Eddie Bowman Thank you so much for the kind words Eddie, I really do appreciate them! :)
Hope you're enjoying the pedal too! :D
When he ended on that E power chord with the open strings, I thought he was going to do VH "Poundcake" next -lol.
As soon as you played "Say Hello 2 Heaven" I was absolutely sold. Great demo and playing!!
Amazing song, cheers buddy! :)
Same here haha :-)
Excellent video from start to finish. I have been scouring the internet seeking a professional, complete, demonstration of this pedal...so glad I found yours.
Great playing, along with "clearly" showing the actual settings used for all the various songs and artists from clean to crunchy styles. I really like this format....well done! A+
Such a good demo, I love that you’ve time stamped each section in the description with song titles and tone info. Quality
Stilla J Thanks! 😄
Your demo is what made me decide to get this over the boss chorus pedal. Great job!!!
Wow, you surprised me with the song choices for this demo. Glad to see I'm not the only one that can go from Testament to Boston lol. Well done
What an insanely eclectic compilation of music. Subscribed based solely on that. Excellent chops but a really great understanding and expectation of the functions of this pedal.
JayBruceWorld - Thanks so much! 😄
Dude lol, your song choices have sold me completely on this pedal! Perfection!
Thanks! :D
Not an overkill of technical information talk, with lots of settings over good, well known tunes. Great video man! I hope MXR supported you, you deserve it. I also play a tele of this vintage/variety ('89), so I love your strat shamelessly as well.
Best chorus review on TH-cam... Shit now I want this one AND the phaser 95... AND you played Rush well now I'm buying both
Alex Murphy Haha, thank you! 😄
What amazing sounds you're getting with this man! Fantastic demo. Love the idea of playing lots of famous riffs that use a similar effect! As always, I'm blown away by how clean your playing is! Keep up the great work buddy!
258lemons Thanks a lot for the kind words Iain! :)
I'm hoping to create some more demo vids soon, this one was pretty fun to do :D
Loving your varied repertoire!
You know it’s a good video when he’s playing rhinoceros
Literally bough this before doing a ton of research (which never happens for me) and this smashing pumpkins demo really hammered it in for me. Beautiful, thanks you!
Thank you so much! :)
Thanks.
You did what most won’t do…make a great video demo showing what a pedal is capable of.
I got IK Multimedia Amplitube 3, Fender and Metal packages and the chorus in the rack option made me spent some time tweaking to get what I wanted, but with this video the PICTURE now is wider than ever, I got more ideas. Thanks for your time and dedication.
Fogertian Thank you so much for the nice words, glad my video helped :)
You`re welcome ! Hi from Mexico
I think that your good music taste and playing variability sold me on this ^.^ Especially on the SP and Jeff Buckley tunes
6:26 I was wondering when someone would finally use Plush to demo a chorus.
I love those matte tuners. They look great especially on that guitar .
Just bought this, cant wait to try it out!
This is one of the nicer Chorus pedals on the market. Price is reasonable too!
I love the fact you used a lot of popular tunes to put this pedal into perspective so great job. The official MXR jazz demo absolutely sucked. Thanks for helping me decide if I am going to keep this pedal or not :)
Cheyenne Monnier Really appreciate the kind words, thank you! 😄
Great, great demo. Just bought this today to match with my 616 delay. Thanks for the tips. And the Buckley hit was perfect, so perfect.
+Christopher Edmonton Thanks Christopher! That's awesome, must sound super sweet with that :D
The blue print of gear demo's, very well done
Shiv Behl Really appreciate the kind words, thank you :)
Elliot, your demo was so good that I went out and bought the pedal today. Very well done!
- Luc
+Aquaguard Injection and Waterproofing
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words Luc! :D Have some fun with it, it's a brilliant pedal :)

Purple Haze Thanks so much for the kind words Mike! :D
Excellent playing, Elliot. I’ve only seen two of your videos and they have been awesome. Great taste and musical style.
Thanks for the kind words Bobby! Appreciate it 😄👍
The moment you started playing sanitarium i was convinced but then you sold me with dream theater XD Bravo my friend.OH SHIT TEMPLE OF THE DOG DUDE
Cheers Micah! :D

Cheers!

Take care.

Ahh that’s a really effective way to persuade me if you play rhinoceros ❤️❤️❤️
Adam Ellison 🦏
Nice demo, informative text and not too much chat. Good.
Flanging & Chorus Nice .

Adam Shaver Thank you! 😄
That was awesome. I have this pedal and will be playing around with it more now... thanks to you!
Victor Ramsey - Glad to hear it! Thank you! 🙂👍
Very nice choice of music for the demo. Even picked some of my favorites with Jeff Buckley, Temple of the Dog, and STP.
Thank you! 🙂
Fantastic demo. I tried this pedal from a friend and was quite surprised how great it sounds.
+Nick DeMayo Thank you Nick! :) It's certainly very good!

Great job! I have this pedal but not on my board. After seeing this, it's going back on!
Hummer!!!! that was so cool...
Juan Sebastian Bustios Thanks! 😀
Best video I have seen for this pedal fosho.
Thank you Koby, glad you think so! :D
Just bought one. Colder than the MXR Micro Chorus but stunning in stereo. Made in Taiwan now too! More like a Boss Chorus.
I need to try the stereo capabilities, maybe thats what I am missing
Now that's what I call a good demo! And sweet Strat !
Thanks! :D
Love the Smashing Pumpkins in the background!
or rather several of the examples!
Justin Croft - Thanks! 😄👌
Well presented demo with a great choice of songs.
Awesome demo man. You have great taste in music! 🤘
Glistening Kabana Thank you! 😄👍
Thumbs up for Jeff Buckley's "So Real"
Justin Swafford This demo made me appreciate the song even more
Huh... Rhinoceros, Hummer, a Fender strat with that beautiful Lace Senor set... a fellow Pumpkin fan?
Anyway, great demo! Might be getting one of these soon.
+Joaquin Medrano You got me figured out man! Haha XD
Thanks a lot for the kind words :)

josh.villoch - Ha, what’s wrong with STP? 😂
Elliot Stent I loves me some stp, but man oh man those highs made my ears bleed a bit, I could’ve sworn in the record they had some heavy mids too or something, idk I’d have to hear it again
