Zephyr Stereo Chorus

Project overview

Inspired by Arion SCH-1 Stereo Chorus Effect, a powerful chorus pedal from the 80s considered one of the most important pedals of history. Designed to provide you with a high-quality experience, this classic and intuitive board is ready to deliver that gratifying chorus effect that made it so famous in its days.

Introduction

Zephyr Stereo Chorus is a classic so intuitive and organic that it allows you to jump right into using it without previous knowledge. You can change your waves’ rate, depth, and tone till you reach the exact effect you need. Capable of running it into mono or splitting in a really nice stereo, the pleasing Leslie-type sounds will wrap you and your audience like a gentle breeze from all directions.

If you search for the original pedal, you will notice that it’s difficult to find and is even more challenging to convince an owner to sell it. Therefore, we decided to add this circuit to our collection so any pedal creator can have his own.

The Tone knob is unusual for a typical chorus pedal, and it will give you a beautiful and unique chorus sound while interacting with the treble frequencies. You can start by setting all the knobs at noon for a nice sixties Leslie chorus type sound or try a widest more eighties-like effect by putting Rate at 9 o’clock, Depth at max, and Tone at 2 o’clock. We recommend trying as many knobs positions as possible because each of them is a breath of fresh air that will inspire your playing.
