Second Hand Retro Sonic Chorus Stereo Edition

Our best-selling pedal provides the distinctive lush chorus, and true pitch-shift vibrato of the late 70's “CE-1” using the same analog BBD as the original unit. The Chorus Ensemble’s unique tone is the standard by which all other chorus effects are measured.

 

The Retro-Sonic Chorus is capable of a wide range of sounds, from analog chorusing to pulsating vibrato. The unique Vibrato feature that was incorporated on the original can simulate a Leslie rotating speaker. The chorus and vibrato functions are selectable through a footswitch control, allowing desired presets to be maintained separately.

 

Features:

​

• Chorus and Vibrato effects selectable by footswitch control

• Mono and Stereo Outputs

• Overall Level control to adjust perfect unity gain

• Heavy duty foot switch

• Speed indicator LED for Chorus/vibrato setting

• Sturdy cast aluminum housing

• Powered by 9VDC adapter (not-included)

• Uses MN3002 BBD as original CE-1

• Noise Killer circuitry to eliminate noise generated in the BBD.

 

Controls:
