The sound this box makes to me is awesome! I have owned a lot of 'name brand'stomp boxes and this one is at the top of my pedal chain!

I like zakk Wylde but I bought this pedal to try and expand my tone. I currently play through a Line 6 spider 3. My amp has built in chorus but it does not sound good at all. When I recieved the Wylde Chorus I played with it for a few days on just one amo and it sounded pretty good. I believe it "widens" my sound, as well as shapes the tone nicely. HOWEVER, I decided to borrow my friends line 6 amp to hook up the stereo output feature and WOW. Its amazing. I am really happy i picked this thing up. I know i will have it for a long time, if not forever. now I have my own "wall of bedroom doom". Its bad to the bone, BUY IT!

works great. does exactly what it's supposed to. the only problem i had was the first one that got delivered did not work when plugged in. it worked with the battery but not the 9 volt adapter. i have never seen that happen before? what was really odd was that in the same order i had purchased a kirk hammet signature cry baby wah pedal and it had the exact same issue??? very weird. all my other pedals work fine and i use the dc brick to power everything so it was just a strange coincidence. maybe just a batch of bad plugs or something simple like that? either way the the customer service rep at musicians friend was awesome,he arranged for me to send the items back via ups and as soon as they had tracking info he shipped out replacements on 2nd day air i had both in my hand in by the end of the second day. they were christmas gifts and anything other than that level of service would have made those gifts obsolete. so thanks unfortunately i did not get his name but hopefully this is the standard.. as i have had some pretty bad luck with other companies. and as far as the pedals go they are great! the issue with plug is just one of those things that happens once on a while even with quality products what matters is how the manufacture and the dealer responds to the customer when there is a problem and in this case they both did exactly what they were supposed to do. mxr and musicians friend have my buisiness and my sons business for years to come!

I'm a big zack wylde fan i have the crybaby, the overdrive and the emg pickups in my guitar, the overdrive pedal is already awesome in sound but i wanted something that would make my cleans sound even better and more out there so i got this pedal let me tell u my cleans soar and sound amazing which makes writing a song a whole lot more awesome and combining it with the zack wylde overdrive thickens up the distortion so your sound is gonna sound even more awesome if u want to find otu good settings look at youtube videos then try them out on your guitar and amp im sure youll love this pedal as much as i do

This is a great pedal. I can change the tones more then any other chorus pedal I have ever had. Also with the compact design and metal housing, I know it will be on my pedal board for years to come. I was using the pedal live after having the pedal only for two days!!!

Musician's Friend has awesome customer service and products like this one! I really like this pedal as a stand alone pedal. I also like to use it together with my Swollen Pickle Fuzz or Metal Zone pedals (just to name two). It is a quality built unit and looks amazing as well!

It's an MXR with Zakk's name on it. it has lots of color. Good signal. Doesn't color my sound in a bad way compared to other units that are not true bypass. Someday it might be worth more considering it's time frame with who endorsed it. But the main issue here is it's signal and how it feeds my signal a chorus for those times when I call upon it. And that it does well enough to stay within my board. It's a keeper.
So far I have had no problems with it and the way it works.
I give it a 10 for having true bypass. I have a Boss chorus that has all the same features but it doesn't have true bypass. I can see the difference. Now... I really don't know what Bucket Brigade Circuitry really is...but I am able to get a nice chorus sound from this little unit. No rubber boots for the knobs..like some other MXR units... no big deal.
I gave this a 10 in quality. it is built well for it's intended purpose. Sounds good and is even a little smaller for my pedal board than the Boss but not really an issue. I get some nice chorus form my Lexicon MX400s looped through my two stacks. But I also wanted this little gem in my pedalboard so I can touch with ease for softer parts of songs when I slow down and rake some chords or tap some harmonics. I was also surprised a the clean metallic tone with the gain up that is different than my Lexicon units. Very useful!

I have had some time to try out this product and I think this is a good pedal. I like that MXR has sample settings in the manual. I tried the Zakk's & the Fat solo setting, these are good but the setting I liked was the power ballad setting. When used through the clean channel gives you an excellent sound. It got me to practice my chords again. I would recomend this product to anybody who wanted to expand their sound.

if you are trying to sound like zakk wylde this pedal is a must have. i play a les paul standard through a marshall jcm900 amp with this pedal, and i use a dunlap cybaby wah for solos and i sound very close to him (for sound and tone, not for talent or ability...this pedal will not give you that). i plan to buy his emg pickups for a les paul that i recently purchased, but if you are looking to get close to his sound, or just give yourself more stage presence, or simply to boost you solos, this pedal is for you.
