CHORUS WA38 Wylde Audio
Celebrate the 20th anniversary of the explosive collaboration between Dunlop and Zakk Wylde with the MXR Wylde Audio Chorus. This pedal is Zakk’s secret weapon for thickening up walls of distortion and adding liquid dimension and texture to clean passages.

Basic Operation
Power
The MXR® Wylde Audio Chorus is powered by a single 9-volt battery (remove bottom plate to install), a 9-volt AC adapter such as the Dunlop ECB003, or an MXR® Brick™ Series power supply.
Directions
- Run a cable from your guitar to the WA38’s INPUT jack and run another cable from the WA38’s OUTPUT jack to your amplifier. Optional Stereo Mode: run an additional cable from the THRU OUTPUT jack to the input of a second amp. Using this jack automatically sends the delayed signal only to the MONO output jack when the effect is on and outputs a buffered copy of the input signal.
- Start with all knobs at 12 o’clock. Turn the effect on by depressing the footswitch.
- Rotate the DEPTH knob clockwise to increase the intensity of the effect or counterclockwise to decrease it.
- Rotate the RATE knob clockwise to increase the speed of the chorus effect or counterclockwise to decrease it.
- Rotate the LEVEL knob clockwise to increase overall effect volume or counterclockwise to decrease it.
- Rotate the LOW knob clockwise to retain more low end or counterclockwise to cut more low end.
- Rotate the HIGH knob clockwise to retain more high end or counterclockwise to cut more low end.
