Customers are satisfied with the sound quality of the pedal. They mention that it sounds very good when played at high gain, has a lush chorus that sounds sweet, full, and organic, and is a great pedal for chorus effect. It fills out the tone very nicely, and has s a Rush sound, The Cure sound, and the zakk wylde sound without even. It's an analog chorus that does what it says it does, and provides nice vibes.

I own a few choruses including the E-H Neo Clone, Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, Line 6 MM4 Modulations Stompbox Modeler, and the choruses that come on the old Boss ME-6 Multi-Effects unit (no longer made).
To compare to the others I own, the Neo-Clone is the least versatile as far as how many things it can do. However, it is also the cheapest and takes up the least about of pedalboard space. I think for what it does, it gives a better sound than any of the other choruses I own except maybe those on the Boss ME-6. You will sacrifice versatility for sound with the Neo-Clone.
NEO-CLONE vs. BOSS CE-5
The Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble gets more extreme modulations and sounds great, but to my ears the Boss stompboxes often sound a little bit dead compared to some other "classic" units (for example the MXR Phase 90 sounds much better than the Boss PH-3). With Boss stompboxes you often trade sound for versatility.
I usually have the Neo-Clone on my pedalboard because I prefer it. Sometimes, I might put both on and when I do, I will use the Neo-Clone with hyper-compression to make a really nice crisp and clean 80s new wave sound like the Police or the Fixx. I find the CE-5 works better with distortion than the Neo-Clone though for an 80s hard rock sound like Rush or Living Colour.
Incidently, the Neo-Clone is smaller, cheaper, and simpler to use than the CE-5.
NEO-CLONE vs. LINE 6 MM4
To compare it to the Line 6 MM4's choruses, obviously the MM4 has way more versatility the Neo-Clone, but the MM4 has a volume drop problem that I find hard to work with (not so with the others in the stompbox modeler series).
BOTTOM LINE:
(1) Great sounding chorus that works as advertised
(2) Limited sonic possibility: no extremes, 2 depth choices
(3) Easy to use - flip one switch and turn one knob
(4) Small, does not eat pedalboard space
(5) Good price
(6) Appearance is OK, has some blue paint on it but looks kinda industrial
I use the pedal w/acoustic guitar and it fills out the tone very nicely. You can also crank the knob and get a very warbly Leslie spkr type of effect. The toggle switch definitely affects the tone as well and you can dial in a lot of nice sounds with this pedal, from slow and full chorus to fast and warbly. I don't feel that it changes my tone when not in use and it works well with my other pedals. It's not as small as some of the micro pedals, but it's pretty small, pretty close to the MXR size pedals. All in all I'm very happy with it and am glad I got it.
The pedal, despite being all analog, tends to brighten my rig a little when engaged. Not a bad thing in my opinion. I was just expecting quite the opposite.
The Depth knob works amazingly well. When engaged, I have to turn the Rate down quite a bit so I don't feel like I'm on a broken carousel! The sounds are truly "deep" and lush.
It's a very simple and inexpensive Chorus pedal that gets the job done for the simple classic rock music I'm playing. I'm very happy with the purchase.
Quick side note - I also have a TC Electronic Corona Chorus that isn't bad. I really like the Neo Clone much, much better though.
Top reviews from other countries
It's the best Chrous pedal I've ever used. It has a wide, deep range of sound, perfect for sound shaping and it's really the last Chorus pedal you would ever need.
It's a very sturdy metal Stomp Box. I wouldn't suggest using it wothout shoes, since the switch is a post rather than a broad pedal and will definitely hurt your feet! You can feel the switch being activated, and there's a loud click (don't worry about that though, it doesn't transfer to the amp) so there is no doubt it's been switched on, even when it's set to a very subtle effect.
The controls are very simple, but this pedal does so much with those few controls it's unbeleivable! Essentially, if you like Chorus, you need this pedal!
