The Maxon CS-9 Stereo Chorus Pedal

The Maxon CS-9 is really unique, high quality stereo chorus pedal for guitarists that won't accept less than the finest where tone is concerned. This is Maxon's first new Nine-Series pedal in 20 years, if that gives you any indication of the standards this pedal had to meet to be added to this esteemed lineup.

Of course no expense was spared in construction quality, with the Panasonic MN3207 BBD IC chip being particularly critical the CS-9's tonal arsenal. True Bypass is standard for the preservation of natural guitar and amp tones. The Maxon CS-9 is also capable of mono, stereo, or inverted mono operation, with inverted mono inverting the signal ninety degrees out of phase. This flexibility give you a ton of options for lush sounds in the studio or in a live situation.

Some unique aspects of the Maxon CS-9 Stereo Chorus include a precisely tuned oscillator, which can offer up a slow vibrato or a fast, swirling rotary speaker sound. Also the Delay and Width controls can be tweaked to produce some truly jaw-dropping 3D chorusing, especially in stereo operation. This thing is also great for keyboards and bass, due to it's full frequencied operation and it's Dry Blend control knob, which lets you vary the amount of dry signal mixed with the affected signal.

The Maxon CS-9 is perfect for the guitarist that is heard all the other chorus pedals and just won't accept "good enough" when it comes to tone.
