Electro-Harmonix Small Clone EH4600 Chorus Pedal – Used

Quick Product Summary

The Electro-Harmonix Small Clone EH4600 is a classic analogue chorus pedal known for its rich, spacious modulation and remarkably simple control layout. A single Rate knob and two-position Depth switch provide everything from gentle movement to deep, swirling chorus.

This used example is in Good condition, showing visible signs of previous ownership and regular pedalboard use. Its unmistakable analogue character makes it a strong choice for clean textures, alternative rock, grunge, indie and atmospheric guitar sounds.

What Makes the Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Special?

The Small Clone keeps things deliberately straightforward. The Rate control determines the speed of the modulation, while the Depth switch changes the intensity of the pitch movement for either a more restrained chorus or a deeper, more pronounced effect.

Its fully analogue circuit mixes the modulated signal with the unaffected guitar sound to create the characteristic doubling and movement associated with classic chorus. The result ranges from clear, dimensional enhancement to warm, heavily pulsating modulation.

Who Is It For?

The Small Clone is ideal for guitarists who want an instantly usable analogue chorus without menus, presets or complicated parameter controls.

It works particularly well for alternative, grunge, indie, shoegaze, rock and ambient styles, while lower-depth settings can add subtle width to clean rhythm and lead sounds.

FAQs

What type of effect is the Electro-Harmonix Small Clone?

The Small Clone is an analogue chorus pedal that combines the original signal with a slightly pitch-modulated signal to create a rich doubling effect.

What does the Rate control do?

The Rate knob adjusts the speed of the chorus modulation, moving from slower sweeping sounds to faster pulsating effects.

What does the Depth switch do?

The two-position Depth switch changes the amount of pitch modulation, allowing either a more restrained chorus or a deeper, more pronounced effect.

Is the Small Clone analogue?

Yes. The full-size Small Clone uses an analogue chorus circuit.

Is this the full-size Small Clone?

Can it produce subtle chorus sounds?

Yes. Slower Rate settings and the lower Depth setting can add gentle width and movement without overwhelming the original guitar tone.

Can it produce deeper modulation?

Yes. Switching to the higher Depth setting creates a stronger, more obvious chorus with a wide, swirling character.

Does it use true bypass?
