Effects Bakery Melon Pan Mini Chorus

The Effects Bakery Melon Pan Mini Chorus is a compact analog chorus pedal built in a mini, pedalboard-friendly format. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes it as bringing lush, vintage-inspired modulation to guitar, bass, keyboards or other instruments, with its classic analog character evoking 1970s to 1980s chorus effects and adding dimension and warmth¹. It is a smaller companion to the full-size Effects Bakery Melon Pan Chorus, covered on its own page.

Sound and controls

The pedal carries the classic three-knob chorus layout: Rate, Depth and Mix. RockBoard's PedalPedia says those controls let you sculpt anything from subtle shimmer to deep, vibrato-like chorus tones¹.

Delicious Audio's Paolo De Gregorio reviewed the pedal in November 2021 and heard a familiar character in it:

"The Melon Pan Chorus is a lush analog chorus which sounds excellent, early CE-2 vibes but a bit more vibrato like if you drive the rate and depth."

Paolo De Gregorio, Delicious Audio²

That places it in the territory of the early Boss CE-2, with a tendency toward vibrato when the Rate and Depth knobs are pushed. De Gregorio included it in Delicious Audio's roundup of chorus pedals in mini format².

The maker

Effects Bakery is a Japanese pedal builder that specializes in quality mini guitar pedals, as Delicious Audio put it in its coverage². The Melon Pan is the company's take on the classic three-knob chorus circuit in mini format².

Power and practical notes

The Mini Chorus is powered by a 9V PSU². Effects Bakery describes the build as a mini, pedalboard-friendly format with quality jacks, knobs and components for reliable performance, and De Gregorio noted its robust enclosure¹².

The Mini and the full-size Melon Pan Chorus share the chorus effect and the Rate, Depth and Mix control set, but the Mini is built in a smaller enclosure. Check the power requirements of your pedalboard supply before adding any mini pedal to a daisy chain.

Questions

Is the Melon Pan Mini Chorus analog?

Yes. Effects Bakery describes the Melon Pan Chorus as a compact analog chorus pedal, and Delicious Audio's Paolo De Gregorio likewise calls it a lush analog chorus. He heard early Boss CE-2 style tones in it, with a character that leans more toward vibrato when the Rate and Depth controls are driven harder.

What power supply does the Melon Pan Mini Chorus use?

The pedal is powered by a 9V PSU, according to Delicious Audio's coverage. As with most mini pedals, plan for a dedicated 9V DC supply on your board rather than assuming battery power.

Is the Melon Pan Mini the same as the Melon Pan Chorus?

The Mini is Effects Bakery's take on the classic three-knob chorus circuit built in mini format, covering the same chorus effect with Rate, Depth and Mix controls. The full-size Melon Pan Chorus is covered separately on its own page.

Can I use the Melon Pan Mini Chorus with bass or keyboards?

Yes. Effects Bakery designed the Melon Pan Chorus to bring lush, vintage-inspired modulation to guitar, bass, keyboards or other instruments, so it is not limited to electric guitar.
