Product Reviews
I compared this amazing pedal head to head with a Boss modified Chorus, and a Boss Chorus rack unit, and the Maxon PAC9 won, as it has a deeper and cleaner sound. It has the most powerful sound you can imagine. It can be wobbly because the range is much wider, but can be subtle and elegant too. It has a great headroom and does not distort, since it has premium audio paths. In comparison, the Boss Chorus is anemic and distorts. Amplified parts provided to me the best price and service. Thanks!
