The JF-05 Classic Chorus is an effects unit that really does what it says on the tin. This pedal brings all the joy of a classic effect with no extra baggage. Retailing between $40 and $50, you’ll have to look a long way before you find better value for money than this.
The JOYO JF-05 Classic Chorus pedal effect offers the same iconic sound you’ve heard on countless tracks. For those who don’t know, chorus is a wonderful modulation effect that can breathe life into slower guitar parts while adding a whole new dimension to the sound of your overdrive. It’s hard to stress just how much this simple effect can bring out a new side to your music. It really is a must-have sound, and this pedal is a great way to get it.
You really won’t find any other brand offering this kind of value for money. The closest you’ll get would be with the Behringer UC200 Ultra Chorus. That being said, although it is technically cheaper, and does have a pretty professional sound, the Behringer’s real downside is that it’s made from plastic.
Not so with Joyo. This well-built effects unit is easy to use and can stand up to some serious wear and tear. We’re not saying that we recommend you abuse your pedals, but if you do, the Joyo has a much better chance of taking it.
Still not convinced?
Well, as always, the best test is with the ear, so go ahead and give this pedal a listen. While you’re at it, why not check out some other chorus pedals to see how they stack up against each other?
