The WA-C1 features all the vintage tone, functionality, and style of the legendary original chorus/vibrato pedal, with additional controls to separate rate and depth and brighten the tone. Like the acclaimed original, the WA-C1 includes a dedicated vibrato section and a 100% analog preamp that is always active, adding analog warmth and character to your sound. The carefully designed circuit delivers the vintage modulation depth at maximum settings, while allowing the WA-C1 to provide variable depth for more subtle tones. True to the original pedal, the WA-C1 offers lush depth and rate beloved by legendary musicians like The Police, Queen, Stone Temple Pilots, Rush, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and countless others.
Deeper, Richer, Bigger: Chorus & Vibrato Tone
The WA-C1 delivers rich midrange with depth and detail characteristic of proper Bucket Brigade Device analog chorus pedals. In vintage units, intensity increased the LFO speed with a triangle waveform, affecting the BBD chip delay time and creating richer tone and faster rate. With the WA-C1, you can overcome vintage pedal limitations by adjusting depth for more subtle tones while maintaining the same modulation rates for a greater palette of sounds. When hi-z is engaged, the chorus instantly transforms from 1970s tone to 1980s tone with added midrange-highs and presence. Enabling the high input sensitivity setting can add headroom and clarity to the overall pedal sound. The WA-C1 features a flashing LED on the front to monitor the effect, showing which setting is active along with the modulation rate. A faithful recreation of the original, the WA-C1 is 100% analog, using premium components like the MN3007 Xvive BBD chip.
The WA-C1 WARM AUDIO is a vintage analog chorus & vibrato pedal with exceptional sound, using BBD chip and preamp for rich, deep chorus tones beloved by legendary musicians.
