Description
Experience the nostalgic allure of the TC Electronic Afterglow Chorus. This music gear is a tribute to the vintage chorus effects, carefully packed into a compact, modern pedal. Its all-analog signal path and aesthetic design are reminiscent of classic chorus pedals. The key to its old-school charm is the integration of a genuine Bucket Brigade Device (BBD), delivering that distinct warmth and organic presence associated with the iconic choruses of earlier times. With three adjustable knobs for rate, depth, and mix, you can effortlessly navigate from subtle undertones to a rich, pulsating rotary, or even a full-blown '80s-style effect. As a part of the Smorgasbord of Tone series, this pedal guarantees a top-notch effect experience without breaking the bank.
Key Features:
- Part of the Smorgasbord of Tone series
- Genuine BBD for authentic vintage chorus effects
- All-analog signal path
- Three adjustable knobs for rate, depth, and mix
- Affordable without compromising on quality

Ok
It has the same bucket brigade chip-set as the Boss CE-2W from Coolaudio
It takes fuzz & distortion alot better than the CE-2W, but it starts clipping pretty easily on clean
Like a choir of angels
Holy cow, this pedal does not disappoint. I have played many different choruses, from the crappy danelectros to the TC Electronic Corona Chorus, and the Afterglow is just superb. It gives me THE sound of the 70s that we all know and love. It gives you so many options to choose from, such as turning the rate and mix down to be a subtle thickener to your guitar tone or being a hairy mess when you turn the speed and depth all the way up (which is a good laugh by the way.) My favorite pedal in my collection for sure. Get this thing NOW.

It does it's job!
Another good pull for me in the TC cheaper pedal library. It does it's job for an affordable price. Could you get better? Of course, but TC does a good job of affordably filling a hole in your board for an effect you may not have for an affordable price.

**Bang for the Buck**
It's simple, it does what you can expect and it just works great. Also built like a tank.
Amazing vintage sound
Carries the classic chorus sound. One of the most used pedals on my board.

Since I am a very stright-forward rock and metal player, this pedal has been very useful for me because of it's great sound and simplicity.
