A Signature Chorus Designed for the "Big Sound": The Wylde Audio Approach
The WA38 fits within the Wylde Audio universe by addressing a very concrete need: preserving the impact of a massive saturated sound while adding a broad, musical, and clearly audible movement. Where some choruses become too bright or too "pedal-like" when the gain is pushed, this analog circuit aims for a thicker and more natural modulation, inspired by vintage chorus textures, with a response that remains pleasant on both crystalline cleans and already very dense distortions.
For Whom, Which Styles, and In What Contexts?
This pedal is intended for guitarists who want an expressive chorus without losing attack firmness. It suits both intermediate and advanced players, thanks to fine controls that allow quickly finding a sweet spot and then sculpting the sound according to the guitar and amp.
In terms of styles, it excels in rock, hard rock, and metal (to widen a riff, thicken a lead, or add dimension to a rhythm part), but remains very relevant in blues and pop whenever a "liquid" and broad clean tone is desired. In the studio, the dual Wet/Dry output can help build a wide and clear stereo image; live, it transforms a simple pedalboard into a more enveloping rig, especially with two amps.

Questions frequently asked
Does the MXR Wylde Audio Chorus work well with heavy distortion?
The analog bucket-brigade circuit provides a thick modulation designed to remain audible on dense saturations. The sound favors fullness rather than a shimmering high end.
How should the two Wet/Dry outputs be used?
The MONO output transmits the modulated Wet signal, while the THRU output delivers the unmodulated Dry signal. Two 6.35 mm jack cables can thus send the signals to two amps. This setup preserves the attack of the dry signal while adding the chorus movement.
Are the low-cut and high-cut filters used to adjust the chorus?
The low-cut and high-cut settings define the modulated frequency range, particularly to limit muddy bass with powerful humbuckers or to soften overly bright highs.
What kind of chorus sound does this analog pedal offer?
This pedal delivers a vintage and fluid texture, particularly suited for chords and arpeggios. The modulation respects playing dynamics thanks to its bucket-brigade circuit.
For which styles is the Wylde Audio chorus suitable?
Rock, hard rock, and metal tones benefit from an effect that widens riffs and thickens leads. Wide cleans can also be achieved in blues or pop.
