Description of Aguilar Chorusaurus-2
When you’re on the lookout for a pedal that doesn’t just add a bit of colour, but actually breathes new space and dimension into your sound, you’ll eventually land on the Aguilar Chorusaurus-2 — and that’s where a whole new universe of creative possibilities opens up.
This effect was designed for players who want more than just a clean signal — it offers expression, depth and richness. It can transform a familiar bass or guitar into something with a whole new personality. Instead of flatly doubling notes, you’ll hear shimmer, harmonics and subtle pulses, bringing your lines to life. That’s just as valuable for a beginner as it is for a seasoned pro — because good gear makes you want to play more often.

Model overview
If you’ve ever tried adding chorus to your bass and ended up with muddiness or lost attack, you’ll notice the difference immediately with the Aguilar Chorusaurus-2. Built around a 100% analogue circuit, it delivers warm, organic tones without digital artefacts. Unlike digital alternatives, overtones remain natural and the timbre feels alive.
The effect is based on Bucket Brigade architecture, using a chain of capacitors that creates those classic chorus movements, but with added dynamics. Its real strength lies in how it maintains clarity at the low end, even at more extreme modulation settings. For bassists, this is crucial — the lows stay defined and punchy instead of washing into a blurry background.
Another highlight is the control set: Rate, Depth, Blend and Width. These let you fine-tune everything from a barely-there shimmer to a bold, swirling chorus. Set it for subtle movement that feels organic and natural or crank the width for something more experimental and psychedelic. The Blend knob in particular helps you strike the right balance between dry and processed sound — perfect for live situations where your lines need to stay articulate.
The pedal is compact and integrates easily into any pedalboard setup. It runs on a standard 9V power supply and has low current draw, making it hassle-free to add to your rig. The sturdy metal enclosure means it’s built to withstand years of use without compromise.
Who is it for?
The real magic of the Aguilar Chorusaurus-2 lies in its versatility. It’s one of those rare pedals that genuinely appeals across the board. Beginners will appreciate how quickly they can achieve a rich, full sound with just a few twists of the knobs. Self‑taught players can instantly add space and motion to their lines, keeping playing exciting and fresh.
Studio musicians love it for its clarity and depth — it enhances a mix without cluttering it. Producers and composers use it to explore new tonal characters for bass or guitar. For professionals and session players, it’s a reliable touring companion — consistent, easy to dial in, and always dependable.
And for those who simply play at home or jam with friends, this pedal is an endless source of inspiration. Even the simplest groove can suddenly sound like there’s a whole ensemble playing alongside you.
