Vibra Chorus
Special thanks to Phil Shiells of 'Bantabax' for creating bass guitar sound samples of the Vibra Chorus.
The Vibra Chorus pedal was created to reproduce haunting and ethereal chorus voicings with a level purity that is unmatched by any other phaser, Uni-Vibe or vibrato pedal. The phase-shifting circuitry is optimised to operate on the frequency spectrum of electric guitar rather the organ, where the Uni-Vibe attempted to simulate a 'Leslie' rotating speaker system. The unique modulation characteristics of this effects pedal are musical and natural, where only the barest minimum of pitch de-tuning is introduced into the original signal. At slower modulation rates it produces wide, open and natural chorusing that adds another dimension to chord and rhythm playing and at faster rates it creates a light, watery and bubbly effect.
Features
- All Tube: 100% pure analog vacuum tube audio path for maximum signal integrity and hi-fidelity sound reproduction.
- Unique golden ratio of stagger-tuned phase-shift capacitors selected for electric guitar. There are no equivalent digital models that attempt to replicate this circuit topology.
- Girlie Pink L.E.D.: Pulsates with modulation speed for visual song tempo matching.
Customer Comments
"Phew, just got off the stick with a couple of groovy tunes - the chorus is fantastic! I also used the chorus live on three or four of the songs and it sounded great over the in-house PA!" Phil Shiell - 'Bantabax' - Germany - Jan 2010
"Received the replacement tube last week for my newly purchased vibra- chorus. It sounds great! I love to leave both dials at about 11 o'clock. What a rich sound with nuanced motion you can barely perceive. I am using it thru a Twin Vintage reinssue with a Gibson 355 and strat with Kinman pickups. Loving it. Thanks for creating a great pedal." Gerard DeMatteo - USA - Jan 2010
"Thanks again - making a great pedal is one thing, having such friendly and hassle-free customer service just really brings it to another level entirely. Consider me an Effectrode fan for life ;)" Mike Brown - USA - November 2009
"What a great pedal! It's soooooo smooth! Extremely sweet and subtle. The colour says it all. Your sound stays intact and there aren't any of these "out of tune" harmonics. It does exactly what it's are supposed to: Add the warmth and definition we're all after. This one will be on my board forever and ever and ever..." Marc Graaf Ry Cooder Easy Guitar Chords - Netherlands - June 2009
"I am absolutely speechless, stunned, and amazed at the beautiful sounds the Vibe Chorus is capable of. You nailed it buddy, I can get where you were going with this pedal and I must say, you've knocked out another timeless classic for us actual players to enjoy. This pedal will be loved, played, and appcreciated to the fullest. It is hands down the sweetest, warmest, classic/vintage rock sounding vibe/chorus I have ever come across...and I don't see anyone ever topping this pedal, NEVER!" Alfie Cruz - Analog War Cry - May 2009
"I wanted first to say how incredibly happy I am with my Vibra Chorus and it's Wonderful as a match to my little class-A "Lylyth" amp by Emery Sound. Part of what is so awesome is how touch-sensitive the Vibra Chorus is like my amp... and that too, is something that even solid-state analog FX are not is that level of touch-sensitivity. In fact, solid state FX take any touch sensitivity of a tube amp away in part..." Ricky Ray - U.S.A. - July 2009
"I wanted to tell You that I liked Your vibra chorus so much! It's really a very "calm" effect - that type that I call - "calmly shaking on waves" - very good - without extreme settings that cripple the original signal. Great work Phil - keep it up!" Ilia Boussen - Russia - July 2009
"I received my brand new Vibra-Chorus today, and it is absolutely perfect. It was my first Effectrode pedal and I am sure it will not be the last. I have never been a fan of the typical choruses out there right now, Small Clone, CE-2 etc. just not the sound I was looking for, although I've always wanted something to be a lush, airy tone "sweetener" if you will, and that is exactly what the VC seems to be. It is not the least bit intrusive, and for a player like me I like my modulation to be crisp, clear and subtle and that is exactly what the VC delivers. The Vibra-Chorus is perfect for a "tone purist", I absolutely love the clarity. And coming out of a Blackface Super Reverb, and a custom P-90 guitar with some extremely resonant Korina body wood, keeping that core tone intact is very important. Covering it up with your "standard" chorus sounds is just so fake sounding to me." Michael Brown - USA - September 2009
