Overview
The NUX ANALOG CHORUS pedal from the Reissue Series revives the legendary chorus sound of the 1980s, a period when chorus effects were integral to many guitar tracks. Featuring a pure analog Bucket-Brigade (BBD) circuit, this pedal delivers authentic chorus tones, ranging from warm, subtle shimmer to deep, almost vibrato-like wobbles.
Product Interface
The pedal features a straightforward control layout:
- [SPEED Knob]: Controls the speed of the chorus effect.
- [WIDTH Knob]: Adjusts the sweep range or intensity of the chorus effect.
- [BLEND Knob]: Balances the mix between the original dry guitar signal and the processed chorus signal.
- [INPUT Jack]: Connect your guitar here. This jack also functions as the power switch; inserting a cable activates the unit.
- [OUTPUT Jack]: Connect to your amplifier or the next pedal in your signal chain.
- [POWER Jack]: For connecting an external 9V DC power adapter.
- [Footswitch]: Engages or disengages the effect.
- [LED Indicator]: Shows the status of the effect (on/off).
The pedal is powered by a 9V battery or an external 9V DC power adapter (center negative, minimum 300mA recommended).

Installation and Operation
Installing the Battery
The unit can be powered by a 9V battery. Connect the battery snap cord to the battery and insert it into the battery compartment, observing correct polarity. The pedal powers on when a cable is plugged into the INPUT jack. If using battery power, it is recommended to unplug the cable when the unit is not in use to conserve battery life.
Note: To extend battery life, unplug the instrument cable from the INPUT jack when the unit is not in use. If the product will be stored for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent potential leakage damage.
Powering the Unit
The pedal can be powered by a 9V battery or an external 9V DC power adapter. The use of a regulated adapter with center-negative polarity is recommended. The NUX ACD-006A adapter is suggested. Using incompatible power adapters may lead to noise or operational malfunctions.
Caution: When replacing the battery, ensure correct polarity is observed. The unit powers on automatically when the INPUT jack receives a signal or when an AC adapter is connected.
