Upon engaging the Maxon PAC-9 Pure Analog Chorus, you'll be greeted with a robust, full-bodied chorus that delivers a palpable impact – a stark contrast to the thin, shrill chorus tones of the past, now replaced by a comprehensive frequency effect that feels immense.

The PAC-9 employs high-end audio application grade ICs in its circuitry, ensuring an audiophile-grade performance within the confines of a compact pedal.

In comparison to conventional chorus effects, the PAC-9 stands out more prominently in a mix, thanks to its preservation of the low and low-mid frequencies often lost in other units.

Featuring an expansive LFO range, the PAC-9 effortlessly achieves classic rotary speaker effects. Beyond the standard Speed and Width knobs, it boasts two distinctive controls: the Pure switch, which amplifies the delayed signal by 4 dB for a more pronounced, tremolo-esque chorus, and the Bright switch, which gently reduces low frequencies on the delayed signal for a more quintessential chorus tone.

It offers both standard and inverted outputs (90 degrees out of phase) for versatile mono, stereo, or inverted mono routing possibilities.

The internal voltage-doubling design of the PAC-9 ensures ample headroom to prevent any input distortion. Its elevated operating voltage also makes it suitable for use in an FX loop, allowing the chorus effect to be applied post-gain.
