Analog Chorus
Strikingly vocal with a distinctive organic tone, the Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus is the only true sonic replica of the most sought after chorus of all time – the 1976 CE-1. Its lush, focused tone is the standard by which all other chorus effects are measured.
The Analog Chorus is capable of a wide range of sounds from a thick analog doubling, to an ultra-lush chorus, and even a Leslie rotating speaker.
SummerLand – You can easily use analog chorusing to add gentle motion to a sustained chord, or pulsating punch to a rhythm track or distorted solo. This demo takes you through these various guitar sounds via different Speed and Intensity settings on the Analog Chorus.
