Ibanez CSMINI Chorus
Pedal Type: 100% Analog Bucket-Brigade Chorus
Controls: Large Speed Knob; Small Depth and Level Trimmer Knobs
Bypass Layout: True Bypass Switching
Power Requirements: External DC 9 Volt AC Adapter Only (Center-Negative)
Current Draw: 22 mA @ 9V
Dimensions: 2.0” W x 3.66” L x 2.2” H (51 mm W x 93 mm L x 56 mm H)
Premium Analog Modulation and True Bypass Integrity
Original CS9 Circuit Footprint with Genuine Bucket-Brigade Tone
The Ibanez CSMINI Chorus delivers the warm, liquid textures of classic analog modulation within an ultra-compact mini housing built to optimize pedalboard space. Crafted entirely in Japan with a 100% analog signal path, this high-performance modulation pedal is a direct component-level tribute to the legendary CS9 chorus circuit. By utilizing authentic bucket-brigade device circuitry, it produces a thick, three-dimensional shimmer that blends naturally behind your dry signal. This pure analog design eliminates the sterile, harsh high frequencies often associated with digital modeling algorithms, giving you classic chorus warmth.
Streamlined Control Layout and Uncompromising Signal Protection
The physical control interface shrinks the traditional layout into a highly stable micro-chassis configuration. A single oversized master Speed pot handles rate adjustments on the fly, while individual mini-trimmer knobs manage Depth and overall output Level to prevent accidental adjustments during live tracking. The heavy-duty mechanical footswitch introduces a true bypass switching network, completely isolating the pedal's internal component loop when disengaged. This layout guarantees that your instrument's raw picking attack and high-end clarity pass through to your amplifier completely unaltered.
Creative Rig Integration and Circuit Optimization
Deep Liquid Rotary Emulation
Setting the master Speed knob past 2 o'clock while maximizing the Depth trimmer transforms the compact pedal into a lush rotary speaker simulation. Because the bucket-brigade circuitry naturally softens harsh transients, this configuration adds a watery, spinning cabinet texture that injects vintage movement and distinct spatial character into classic rock and blues rhythm lines.
Subtly Enhancing Shimmer for Clean Chords
Positioning the Speed control low (around 9 o'clock) with a moderate Depth setting creates an open, transparent chorus wash that fattens up clean arpeggios or wide chord voicings. This application adds a polished, studio-grade sheen and wide stereophonic depth to single-coil or humbucker setups without cluttering up low-end bass frequencies or washing out your core rhythm mix.
POWER SUPPLY VIA EXTERNAL DC 9 VOLT AC ADAPTER ONLY (CENTER-NEGATIVE). REQUIRED CURRENT CONSUMPTION IS 22mA AT 9V. THIS UNIT DOES NOT SUPPORT INTERNAL BATTERY OPERATION. PLEASE NOTE THAT REQUIRING NON-FACTORY HARDWARE MODIFICATIONS OR USING AN INCORRECT POWER SUPPLY WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND RISK PERMANENT ELECTRICAL COMPONENT DAMAGE.
