Well, it's better than the Nano Clone.
By Ian M. Mcclintock
Well, I wanted so badly to like this pedal and give it a permanent place on my board, but like many guitarists I'm on the eternal hunt for perfect tone, and in the process I'm on a personal quest to find the perfect chorus, and this isn't it for me.There are a few different types of chorus tones that are out there, but to my mind the only one I want is the watery, swampy Nirvana chorus. I am (intentionally) not too familiar with, for example, the 80's chorus shimmer that has made a few guitarists I know swear off the effect entirely, so I can't really evaluate how well this pedal would achieve that effect. I can say that it will get very close to the Kurt Cobain "Come as You Are" sound. And seeing as how it's supposedly a Small Clone in a smaller box, it damn well ought to.The features of this pedal are pretty self-explanatory. It seems to be true-bypass, and it certainly marketed as such. Depth switch and rate knob to control those characteristics of the effect. Inside there's a trimpot which, near as I can tell, acts something like a blend knob. It's kind of touchy though, so its usefulness is limited.Really, the best feature of the Neo Clone is that it is not (and should not be confused for) its predecessor the God-awful Nano Clone. It avoids the volume drop and hissing noise that I found unbearable in the other box, and also unlike the Nano it daisy-chains well with other pedals.Unfortunately, I'm hearing a bit of a tone change when the pedal is switched on. The low end rolls off a bit, and treble becomes more pronounced. With some setups this may not be a problem, but with mine it makes the highs painfully ice-picky. The shift in tone isn't TOO drastic, but it's enough to bother me and make me not want to use the effect. I haven't tried it with different guitars and amps, just my usual rig. There is a pop when the effect is first engaged, as sometimes will happen with true bypass pedals, but I didn't notice it happening after it's first connected to the power.I'd like to rate it 3.5 stars because that's really right where I'm sitting at it. I want to like and keep it so badly that I'm considering trying to figure out how to mod it to remove that tone change. If you're looking for a Small Clone type chorus in a little box, it's worth an attempt with your rig. Just get it from somewhere with a good return policy if you don't end up liking it.

Electro Harmonix Neo Clone...
By A. Ramirez
This is supposed to be a "clone" of the small clone circuit, reduced to fit a smaller package. I don't own a small clone, so I can't compare the two, but as a chorus effect, it will give you a very nice, kind of vintage, true bypass chorus effect. I notice a small boost of the signal when is on, and there is a small change of the tone, but no the kind of change that I heard from the infamous nano clone. It is also really picky with the power source, It doesn't like my cheap power supply, but works fine with the PS that comes with my memory boy. I really like the effect, specially when I put it in front of my little big muff, so I give it four stars for the sound, and an extra star for the price. But that's me, if you are looking for a chorus that keep your tone EXACTLY like it is, you may like to look somewhere else, maybe in the high price digital department.

By David
This small-profile pedal is so simple - yet so versatile. If you've ever heard the small clone in action, this sounds exactly like it. In fact, it even uses the same innards as the small clone, just a flippy-switch instead of a slider and it's smaller. I got mine here on Amazon used for 50 bucks plus shipping - can't get better than that. The white line on the knob was a little faded and there was still Velcro on the bottom but that's no biggie. Besides, it works flawlessly and that's all I care about. As a guy who always does his research I was a bit concerned when I heard some bad reviews on the NANO clone - being in the same series as this NEO clone, but when I saw all the demos on this I figured I'd give it a shot. None of my local music stores had it in stock so I couldn't try it out first, which I normally like to do, but man when I plugged this in for the first time today I was really impressed. I didn't think you could buy a pedal of this quality for under $100... let alone 50! I can't report on the longevity since I've had it about 2 hours now, but it seems tough enough for everything except maybe ice hockey. The only thing I'd be worried about is the little flippy switch, but only if you'll REALLY be banging this thing around when you move it - and even then it looks like it may hold up. I'm strapping this onto a pedal board ASAP so no worries for me. Buy with confidence and enjoy!
