Nobels Unveils the CHO-mini: A Tiny Chorus Pedal with Big Sound

Nobels CHO-mini Pedal NAMM Announcement

Chorus fans, it’s time to make some space on your pedalboard. The new Nobels CHO-mini is here, and it’s ready to pack three distinct chorus flavors into a compact, affordable package. Whether you’re chasing shimmering ’70s tones or exploring new modulation textures, this pint-sized powerhouse has something for everyone.

Big Nobels Chorus Sound, Space-saving Pedal

The CHO-mini might be small, but it’s packed with features. Nobels has crammed decades of chorus innovation into this tiny box, giving players three modes: two classic chorus styles and a flanging-like effect. Each one has been carefully designed to capture the iconic sounds of both the past and the present.

The first mode channels the magic of bucket-brigade chorus pedals, delivering the lush shimmer that defined so much of the ’70s. The second mode introduces vibrato-like textures at higher settings, creating a unique and expressive tone. Then there’s the Flanging mode—not your typical flanger, but an emulation of a rare and pricey modulation effect. Nobels calls it “comb-filter phasing,” emphasizing its rich, smooth character without veering into extreme territory.

CHO-mini Functionality

Every mode on the CHO-mini is shaped by Rate, Width, and Depth controls, giving players plenty of room to dial in their ideal sound. Need precise timing? Tap tempo functionality is built right in. Hold the footswitch for two seconds, and you can sync the modulation to your beat with just a few taps.

Switch between mono and stereo operation, or toggle between true and buffered bypass to suit your setup. Whatever your needs, this pedal adapts to almost any situation.

Nobels CHO-mini Perfect for Gigs

The CHO-mini isn’t just versatile—it’s gig-ready. Glow-in-the-dark pointer knobs make on-the-fly adjustments easy under stage lights, and the integrated fold-out mounting plates let you attach it to your board in seconds. It’s practical, portable, and perfect for players who want premium sound without sacrificing space.

Why You Need the CHO-mini

Nobels calls the CHO-mini “a pint-sized powerhouse that’s built for performance.” And they’re not wrong. With its compact design, affordable price tag, and a lineup of lush, customizable tones, this pedal is ready to earn a spot on pedalboards everywhere.

Whether you’re a chorus devotee or just looking to add a touch of modulation to your sound, the CHO-mini delivers. Keep an eye out for it—it might just be your next favorite stompbox.
