Description

Dunlop positioned the MXR Analog Chorus (M234) in the MXR effects line as a chorus pedal built around analog signal processing. It carried five controls — Rate, Level, Depth, High, and Low — offering more tonal shaping than a basic two-knob chorus unit.

The pedal ran on a 9-volt DC power supply and drew 13 mA. Input impedance was rated at 1 MΩ and output impedance at 1 kΩ. The two tone controls provided active shelving: the LOW control swept a 12 dB/octave shelf between 70 Hz and 800 Hz, while the HIGH control offered a 6 dB/octave shelf from 660 Hz to flat. The noise floor measured -96 dBV with the effect engaged and -106 dBV in bypass. Bypass mode was buffered rather than true-bypass.

Owners setting up or servicing this pedal — particularly those adjusting internal trimmers or sourcing a replacement power supply — should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with analog effects circuitry.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

Put yours on the record.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

What do you know about this one?

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
