Intro

The BBD Chorus brings back the vibrant vintage mojo and inimitable organic warmth of the classic 70s bucket brigade chorus unit.

Description

BBD-Chorus is the result of precise measurements and numerous tests that allowed us to authentically emulated the unique non-linear responses of every single component found in the hardware original. Based on the original schematics, BBD-Chorus features the original Split (Dual) and Basic (Classic) stereo modes found on this 70s legend. Always trying to give our users something extra, we also added the Wide & Cross extra modes, which are unique to our rendition of this piece of legendary studio gear.

These extended features vastly expand upon the capabilities of the unit, propelling it beyond guitar-only processing and into the realm of sound design and music production as well.

BBD-Chours can be placed on a parallel chain with your whole mix subtly feed into it, or just some selected instruments. While on Cross mode (which is a subtle blend between the Basic & Split modes) keep the Level Control at mid position and turn all the other knobs on maximum. In this setup switching between Chorus and Vibrato will give you two unique and distinct Mix Bus effects that will glue your track, unlike any other processor. At this setting, Chorus will give you mellow, lush, and warm glue, whilst Vibrato will add extra depth and vibrant color to your track.

History

Guitar music in the late 70s was hugely impacted by the now recognizable and revered organic warmth of the Boss classic CE-1 Chorus/Vibrato pedal. Released in 1976, the CE-1 skyrocketed Boss to the top of the guitar chain by introducing a revolutionary design that was adopted by Andy Summers (The Police), Jeff “Skunk” Baxter (The Doobie Brothers), and John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers).

The CE-1 Chorus Ensemble adopted the very popular at the time Roland JC-120 Chorus Amplifier circuit and captivated its listeners with thick organic modulation and gooey pitch-shifting vibrato, which you can now have access to at the tip of your fingers, using our Synergy Core Native platform.
