The Fishman AFX Blue Chorus is a chorus pedal in Fishman's AFX line, built around a digital circuit. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes its range as letting you "Create anywhere from subtle doubling effects to a full acoustic ensemble behind you," which places it as a chorus for players who want everything from a light widening of the sound to a thick, layered effect1. For a look at how this kind of effect works in general, see Chorus Pedals.

The three chorus voicings

The pedal offers three chorus effects: Analog, Vintage, and Classic. RockBoard's PedalPedia notes that "while their names might sound similar, these three chorus effects bring back sounds from" different approaches, giving the player three distinct flavors of chorus in one box rather than a single fixed voicing1.

Controls and power

The AFX Blue Chorus features a Rate control that sets the speed of each effect, so the same control shapes the modulation speed whichever of the three voicings you are using1.

It runs on 9V DC, center negative, and draws 53 mA1.

At 53 mA, the pedal draws more current than some simple analog choruses, so it is worth checking what your power supply's spare outputs can deliver when adding it to a board.
