Description

Edit description

Distinctive lush chorus, amazing vibrato, the Retro-Sonic Chorus Ensemble is the only true reproduction of the 1976 CE-1 using the original analog BBD. Its lush, focused tone is the standard by which all other chorus effects are measured. The Chorus Ensemble is capable of a wide range of sounds from analog chorusing to pulsating vibrato, having the unique Vibrato feature that was incorporated on the original which simulates a Leslie rotating speaker. The chorus and vibrato functions are selectable through a footswitch control, allowing desired presets to be maintained by separate control. The Mono an Stereo outputs allow for a two amp setup for an amazing chorus experience The unit features hi grade components, true bypass, and now powered by 9VDC, (thanks to a custom power chip) there’s no need for a special adapter, just plug into your existing rig and enjoy!

Based on customer demand, the improved Chorus pedal now has stereo outputs and operates from standard 9VDC power supplies. The additional stereo output provides users the option of a two-amp setup. This brings a heightened dimension to the existing thick sound of the Chorus effect pedal, which has already developed a loyal following throughout North America and Europe.

"I guess it’s modelled after some chorus everyone likes, maybe a Roland. It’s proper analogue old-school stuff made by this Canadian company who make it really true to that vintage sound."

"I’ve been using Engl amps [...]. The rest of my rig is very simple. I’ve got an Ernie Ball wah, Retro-Sonic chorus, Dytone overdrive, and Boss TU-3 tuner. That’s it.[...]"
