The Dark Tides Chorus by Idiotbox Effects

The Dark Tides Chorus by Idiotbox Effects is a unique modulation pedal that pushes the traditional chorus concept into more experimental territory. Instead of blending the dry signal with a modulated signal like most chorus pedals, the Dark Tides outputs two fully modulated signals one inverted and one non-inverted creating a deep, swirling vibrato-style texture. Each side of the pedal has its own Depth and Level controls, allowing players to shape complex modulation layers while both remain synced to a shared LFO speed control. Because the two modulation circuits run out of phase with each other, the sound can range from subtle movement to dramatic pitch-warping effects. Muting one side can even turn the pedal into a rich, modulated pitch-bending vibrato. It’s designed for players who enjoy experimenting with modulation and dialing in unusual chorus textures.

Specs:

• Effect Type: Chorus / Dual Vibrato modulation
• Circuit: Analog
• Controls: Speed, Level (per side), Depth (per side)
• Signal Design: Two modulated signals (one inverted, one non-inverted) with no dry signal
• Switching: True bypass
• Power: 9V DC, center-negative (BOSS-style power input)
• Enclosure Size: 4.72" × 3.71" × 1.33" (1590BB enclosure)
