Description
Welcome, sound explorers and tone hunters! Get ready for a sonic voyage with the EarthQuaker Devices Aurelius Tri-voice Chorus Pedal. This is not your average chorus pedal. It's a three-mode wonder, loaded with unique sound bending capabilities that are sure to elevate your playing and inspire fresh creativity.
The Aurelius is a compact beast, boasting three distinct modes: Vibrato (V), Chorus (C), and Rotary (R). Each mode offers a different flavor of modulation, allowing you to manipulate Width, Rate, and Balance to carve your ideal chorus sound. With a simple tap, you can switch between modes, cooking up a sonic blend that's truly your own.
Inspired by the iconic 1970s CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedal, this digital marvel has been meticulously tweaked to deliver an encompassing chorus and vibrato experience. The Rotary mode captures the swirling magic of a Leslie speaker's rotating baffle system, offering a vintage vibe with a modern touch.
The Aurelius comes equipped with an expression control, letting you use any TRS expression pedal to manipulate the Width, Rate, or Balance. This gives you real-time control over the effect, letting you dial in anything from a subtle chorus to a seasick vibrato with ease.
Crafted by hand in Akron, Ohio, USA, the Aurelius is a testament to EarthQuaker Devices' dedication to quality and innovation. It's a compact world of chorus in a box, ready to make its mark on your pedalboard.

A chorus pedal that’s better at everything else
This is a weird one for me. Earthquaker are easily my favorite pedal makers, particularly because of how often I find myself using one of their pedals for something different than what it’s intended for. With the Aurelius, this is the first time I see that as kind of a bad thing, but it’s going to be down to your individual taste.
Here’s the thing: on its chorus setting, the Aurelius is really more of a flanger. I know some people like that sort of chorus, but it’s very much not my thing. If that was all the Aurelius offered, I would have given it a pass. Where it really shines is in its other modes, Vibrato and Leslie speaker simulation. The Vibrato mode has become my new chorus sound, as it provides the shimmer of the Small Clone with a greater depth range (you can also crank the rate up to ridiculous speeds if you like, but that’s also not my thing). And with a clean guitar, the chorus sounds fine, but just that—fine.
What actually sold me on the Aurelius in the end is the rotating speaker simulation, which sounds heavenly. That’s not an effect I’ve ever really loved; I’ve always just used tremolo instead because it’s a more versatile effect. But you can do so much with this mode on the Aurelius, from gentle motion to a wild, warbling lead tone when combined with a nice noisy distortion. It’s added a new sound to my arsenal which I would never have gone looking for.
Another great feature is the really easy to use preset mode, which I quickly found to be indispensable. It’s something I hope Earthquaker starts adding to more pedals in the future, as I tend to hang out on one setting to avoid twiddling the huge number of knobs they often cram onto a box.
Ultimately I’m of two minds on this pedal. As a chorus, I’ve found it to be pretty substandard, and at first I was afraid I’d gotten too caught up in it at the store and wasn’t going to like it alongside my other pedals. Eventually I realized that the Vibrato setting gives me what I really want in a chorus, and I get the bonus of the great Leslie setting and the presets. So if you can get past the part where it’s a chorus pedal for people who don’t like chorus, it does offer some great sounds. Just not the one in its name.

Excellent Rotary and Flanger
Chorus can be maybe improved, but I bought it for its incredible rotary/ Leslie/univibe emulator
