Maestro

collapse expand iconDescription

The Maestro Comet Chorus pedal is an instant ticket to thicker, richer guitar sounds, from slight shimmers to out-of-this-world swirls. Use the Comet to add warmth to an amplified acoustic. Plug in an electric guitar to enhance your leads and rhythm work. Maestro made sure the Comet Chorus flies with high-gain setups, too. It's available now at Guitar Center. 

Maestro Comet Chorus

The Maestro Comet Chorus is all-analog 

Maestro built the Comet Chorus with an analog "bucket brigade" circuit for a warmer, more organic sound—especially compared to a digital circuit. Toggle Earth mode on the Comet to ground your sound with classic chorus, similar to pedals of the late '70s.  Flip the switch to Orbit for a rotary speaker effect, perfect for Texas blues, Seattle grunge or "Little Wing"-style flights of fancy. To adjust the rotary level, open the Comet to access the internal trim pot. 

Maestro Comet Chorus Controls

The Comet is a chorus pedal that's easy to use

With its 3-knob layout, the Comet Chorus makes it easy to dial in great tones. Mix controls the blend of the wet and dry signals. The Depth knob changes the pitch of the wet signal, increasing the intensity of the chorus. Speed adjusts the time between the wet and dry signals. 

Maestro Comet Chorus True Bypass

This Maestro pedal keeps your signal clean

Maestro spec'd the Comet with a true-bypass switch. You'll be able to enjoy the full swirl of chorus, but a simple stomp shuts it off, sending your guitar straight to the amp. It's also easy to tell when the effect is on—three LEDs light up the Maestro logo. To turn the pedal off completely, just unplug the input. The Comet Chorus runs on a 9V battery, or an optional 9V power supply.

    I generally don't care for chorus sounds and haven't since the 80's. However now that I'm a total pedal addict and new sound experience junky, I've been looking for something different in chorus other than the usual fake 80's thing. Anyway I came across Earthquaker Aurelius (which is great, much functionality, sounds amazing) but I had my eye out for the Maestro because it looks cool. Last week while wandering around GC looking for ways in which I could part with my hard earned cash I thought "it's time, I'm gonna buy the Maestro". At first I tried it on my board replacing the Aurelius. I wasn't knocked over because I thought it was adding color and I've really spent much time getting the Aurelius just right. Then I brought it home to see how it works with my acoustic compared to the Aurelius. That's where the very well built Maestro SHINES! I'm truly in love. The Aurelius added hiss, which isn't noticed at all in my electric guitar pedalboard setup -not something you want added to acoustic of course. But I got the Maestro dialed in so well, a touch of sparkling highs and slight warble. Like playing a perfect record on a high-end turntable. It sounds SO good! No extra noise, it's completely transparent. When the pedal is NOT engaged everything sounds flat now. The way it's set you don't really hear "chorus effect" It just sounds more alive and present. Like an aural exciter with a touch of tape warble or something, but better than that! It's EXACTLY what I've wanted. I'm going into a UA Max, then the Maestro, then a Boss Rev6.
