Full Mojo Electronics Abisal Analog Chorus

The Full Mojo Electronics Abisal Analog Chorus is an analog chorus pedal, the third release in the company's lineup after the Funkifier Envelope Filter and the Echo Trip Delay. Pedal of the Day describes it as taking elements from a certain classic, light blue chorus effect, the Boss CE-2, and expanding on them, providing vintage chorus sounds alongside more modern territory.¹

What it does

At its heart the Abisal uses the MN3207 chip, a bucket-brigade device, the kind of chip that gives analog chorus pedals their character. The headline change is in the controls: Pedal of the Day notes that "the Depth and Rate parameters have been TRIPLED here, giving you the ability to produce classic sounds, along with new, modern and innovative tones." In practice, the maker's wider description is "wide-ranging modulation that goes from that classic 80's sound to fully controlled dissonances," so the pedal reaches well past gentle CE-2 style warble.¹

For players comparing it with other chorus designs, the Abisal sits in the analog bucket-brigade camp rather than the digital modeling side of the chorus pedal world.¹

Guitar and Bass mode switch

Inside the pedal there is a Guitar or Bass mode switch. Set to B mode, it cuts bass in the modulated signal, which gives clarity to the final sound. That makes the Abisal usable on bass as well as guitar, where a chorus that modulates the low end can turn muddy.¹
