The WA-C1 Chorus Vibrato is a faithful recreation of the most celebrated all-analog chorus in guitar pedal history with additional no-compromise features for exploring legendary modulated tones. WA-C1 starts with a premium, all-analog preamp known for being a favorite of guitar players who demand ultra-responsiveness. The lush chorus setting features separated depth and rate controls to expand beyond the limitations of vintage units while delivering true-to-original tone. The vibrato section is preserved as authentic to the original pedals, and an added hi-z switch on the back of the pedal allows players to compensate for higher impedance of guitars vs. keyboards.
The Definitive Original Chorus Stompbox:
The WA-C1 faithfully recreates the most celebrated all-analog chorus and vibrato pedal known for pure analog tones and rich modulation. The WA-C1 combines a faithful circuit design with separate controls for depth and rate on the chorus side and added hi-z selection for a no-compromise 100% analog chorus experience.
No Emulation, Pure Analog Preamp:
The WA-C1 has a 100% analog preamp, just like the renowned original, with level control that adds bite, depth, and even some natural compression to guitar tones.
Deep, Lush Chorus:
The WA-C1 delivers lush midrange depth and detail associated with proper Bucket Brigade Device analog chorus pedals. Leveraging a BBD chip with other premium components and boutique build quality, WA-C1 is carefully clocked to reproduce the detail expected from the most sought after vintage chorus pedals.
Rich, Three-Dimensional Vibrato:
When it’s really time to wobble, engage the vibrato setting on Warm Chorus Vibrato for added speed and bounce to your tone. Experimenting with the vibrato side yields rotary-like modulation tones perfect for funk, fusion, blues, jazz and more.
Separate Depth & Rate Controls For Chorus:
WA-C1 has separate depth and rate controls vs. the vintage “intensity” control. On vintage units, “intensity” increased both depth and rate simultaneously, with the WA-C1, you can go beyond the limitations of vintage pedals by dialing in more depth and slower rates for even richer chorus tones.
