The Enduring Audio Charming Voices Analog Chorus is an analog chorus pedal that starts with the classic two-knob early '80s chorus design and adds versatility in both modulation and tone shaping. Where the original two-knob format gave players little more than rate and depth, the Charming Voices adds a wet/dry Mix control, Low and High EQ, a Level control, a +/- intensity switch, and a mode switch with a dedicated bass mode1.
The controls
The Charming Voices carries more controls than the circuit it is based on, and each one does a specific job1:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mix | Wet/dry mix control that blends the chorused and dry signals; at maximum mix the pedal reaches vibrato territory1 |
| +/- switch | Intensity switch that sets the amount of modulation from subtle to intense1 |
| Low | Low EQ control for cutting or boosting frequencies; post mix, so it adjusts both the chorused and dry signals1 |
| High | High EQ control for cutting or boosting frequencies; post mix, so it adjusts both the chorused and dry signals1 |
| Level | Cuts or boosts volume1 |
| Mode switch | Stock guitar mode, plus a bass mode that decreases the amount of modulation in the lower frequencies1 |
The Low and High EQ controls are worth a second look, because being post mix means they shape your whole tone rather than only the wet side. Pedal of the Day notes they "allow for cutting or boosting frequencies in order to shape your tone"1.
Guitar and bass modes
The mode switch offers the stock guitar mode and an additional bass mode, which decreases the amount of modulation in the lower frequencies. Pedal of the Day explains that "this helps to keep lower frequencies from sounding out of tune," which is the usual problem when a chorus designed for guitar is asked to handle bass ranges1.
What reviewers said
Pedal of the Day reviewed the pedal on March 15, 2026, and was positive about both the sound and the flexibility of the design1:
"The chorus is wide-ranging and sounds incredible, and if you want a little more warble, crank the Mix knob all the way up1."
"The +/- switch is a great addition, too, giving you as much intense or subtle modulation as you need or want1."
That Mix-at-maximum vibrato behavior means the pedal can cover vibrato duties as well as chorus, from very subtle modulation all the way to full warble1.

Questions
Is the Enduring Audio Charming Voices analog or digital?
It is an analog chorus. Pedal of the Day's review of March 15, 2026 describes it as the Charming Voices Analog Chorus, and notes that it starts with the classic two-knob early '80s chorus circuit and adds versatility in both modulation and tone shaping.
Can the Charming Voices chorus be used with bass?
Yes. A mode switch offers the stock guitar mode plus a bass mode that decreases the amount of modulation in the lower frequencies. Pedal of the Day notes this helps keep lower frequencies from sounding out of tune, which is useful for bass players.
What does the +/- switch do on the Charming Voices?
The +/- switch is an intensity switch that sets the amount of modulation, from subtle to intense. Pedal of the Day called it a great addition, giving you as much intense or subtle modulation as you need or want.
Do the Low and High knobs affect the dry signal?
Yes. The Low and High controls are post mix, meaning they adjust both the chorused and dry signals, not just the wet side. They allow cutting or boosting frequencies to shape your tone.
Can the Charming Voices make a vibrato sound?
Yes. The Mix knob is a wet/dry control, and at maximum mix the pedal reaches vibrato territory. Pedal of the Day described the chorus as wide-ranging and said that if you want a little more warble, you can crank the Mix knob all the way up.
