Chorus on fabfilter timeless bass chorus12/26/2023 The LFO section features knobs for Depth, Shape and Rate, and allows for crafting and fine-tuning the chorus effect. Rest assured though, if there’s a particular chorus warble you’re looking for, the Sea Machine can likely produce it.īoasting EarthQuaker’s proprietary digital-analog hybrid circuitry, the pedal is based around a short digital delay line, with controls for Animate, Dimension and Intensity. There are lots of controls to work with on the Sea Machine, with plenty of turning and tweaking available at your fingertips – this can be a positive or a negative depending on how deep you want to go in search of that sound. Read the full Eventide TriceraChorus review The six knobs on the front of the pedal control 12 separate parameters which, granted, can easily throw a casual chorus user – but with this pedal being more aimed at an enthusiast, the level of tweaking potential on this pedal is a dream. The left, right and center knobs handle the modulation depth of their respective voices and the mix knob lets you choose the amount of chorusing – from chorus through to chorale (the pedal’s emulation of the more complex chorusing found in Eventide’s rackmount units). There are five presets which you can call up instantly, but this list expands to a lofty 127 if you use MIDI or connect the pedal to a computer running the Eventide Device Manager software. Whether you’re using the TriceraChorus in mono or stereo, expect to hear your tone broadened to a level that most other chorus pedals won’t achieve. Overall, this Smalls puts out a big, thick chorus and swirling vibrato that are incredibly vintage-sounding.Įventide’s TriceraChorus is a chorus pedal which combines three separate chorus voicings – as well as Eventide’s MicroPitch detuning and a Swirl footswitch – in order to create a rich, versatile effect. If swirl is your thing, setting the switch to Vibe offers some serious pulsating textures that can get downright wobbly and liquid. It's reminiscent of early Andy Summers and Permanent Waves-era Alex Lifeson with its compressed chorus tones (think Freewill). The circuit puts out a thicker and gooier chorus with less shimmer that clearly eschews other, cleaner-sounding chorus units that tend to go for dimensional purity. Though it’s not sized as a typical mini-pedal, it’s still small enough to fit into the palm of your hand and is less boxy than its original counterpart, making it super pedalboard-friendly.ĭesign-wise, the Smalls Blue Hippo has controls for Speed and Depth with a Vibe/Chorus switch to toggle between the two settings. The Way Huge Smalls Blue Hippo Analog Chorus is a miniaturized, pedalboard friendly doppelganger of the original, preserving the same features and sweet tones in a compact pedal footprint. Less “shimmery” chorus than some other pedals The CE-1 vibrato setting is exceptionally cool and useful, producing a warm warble without the seasick side effects.Ĭombining the chorus and vibrato effects of both the legendary Boss CE-2 and CE-1 pedals, the Boss Waza Craft CE-2W definitively nails the sounds of both to provide chorus connoisseurs with the effects of their dreams. The CE-2W’s CE-1 chorus setting produces an even deeper chorus effect with slightly more noticeable modulation and more sense of space and depth. The CE-2W might have slightly clearer treble, but the textures, tones and character are otherwise identical. Sound-wise, it’s the most perfect match we’ve ever experienced between an original product and its reissue – that unmistakable thick, lush, shimmering Boss chorus that we’ve all heard on a million classic recordings from the likes of Rush, the Pretenders and even Metallica. With the exception of the mini three-way toggle switch for selecting the CE-2, CE-1 chorus or CE-1 vibrato modes, a second 1/4-inch output jack (direct-only) that delivers stereo chorus/vibrato effects and the Waza Craft logo embedded in the rubber on/off switch pad, the CE-2W looks identical to the original CE-2. The CE-2W Waza Craft combines two Boss effects in one – the CE-2 and the mother of all chorus effects, the CE-1, complete with its chorus and vibrato sections. The Boss CE-2 Chorus, and its big brother predecessor the CE-1 (along with the same effect built into the Roland Jazz Chorus amp), defined the sound of chorus during the late '70s and '80s.
