Empress
Chorus Vibrato
Behold! The Empress Chorus!
Not just any ordinary analog Chorus/Vibe pedal.........
Born of the same stock as the Red Witch Medusa chorus-trem
, the Empress offers unparalleled chorus options.
An infinite number of analog chorus/vibe devices
Her most enticing feature is the unique voicing control;
This dial allows you to access virtually any chorus
sound you could desire! It changes the delay time – it’s
on a pot so you’ve got an infinite number of
chorus pedals in one box – from super spanky
sparkling clean to noisy, sea sick inducing, pitch
bending wobble. Delay time determines a big part
of any chorus units tone/flavour/sound - short delay
creates a very pristine, airy chorus whereas longer
delay time gives more ‘wobble’ and ‘throb’.
Unfortunately virtually all devices available only
have one fixed delay setting – or at most a
choice of two.....
We’ve designed a circuit that lets you adjust
the delay time via a potentiometer – from one
extreme to the other and everything in between. In
it’s most extreme settings the device will
produce some hiss – this would be expected
within the last third of the voicing controls sweep.
Vibe/Chorus Switch; Choose between Chorus or Vibrato
mode. When in vibrato Mode you can use the voicing
dial to choose from gentle, subtle pitch shifting
through to wild semitone leaps.. The voicing control
functions in vibe mode the same way it does in chorus
mode – it shifts the delay time. Nasty or Nice – you
choose.
Velocity; Super stand still slow to freaked out
fast
Mix; As clean or as chorusy as you like
Depth; From a delicate flutter to a sickening swing.
Stereo Out; The Empress loves to function in stereo – harness
her to two amplifiers and stand in between them – one
will carry the dry signal and the other will carry
the wet. The chorusing occurs in the air between
the amps. Neat. Bright switch; This allows you to
access some more sparkle on the more shimmery settings
(Set voicing anywhere between 7 o’clock and
11 o’clock) . Engaging this switch in more
extreme settings will add background hiss. Internal
slide switch; The Empress has two different input
stages – the slide switch lets you choose between
them. The unit is preset by us to the Medusa input
stage setting. The other position provides a little
more boost and slightly different tonal response.
Feel free to try both. Switching; The Empress uses
True Bypass switching. When she’s not turned
on she’s just like a piece of guitar cable
(A lady’s allowed to have some quirks!). in
one box...
