Tech 21 Boost Chorus Bass:
Because of the way traditional chorus pedals typically interact with their amps, most bass players would rather put an angry badger on their pedalboard. The Boost Chorus Bass avoids seasick tones, and badgers, through a specially-tailored design. It features the same control set as the standard
Boost Chorus, including the Multi Voice switch, but differs in having a Detune control in place of the Pre-Delay. The Detune control adjusts the pitch of the choral voices, adding sonic girth to create thick, lush, bass-perfect chorus. Speed and Depth controls add modulation, so at minimum your fundamental notes are preserved. Finally, a chorus that works in harmony with your bass.
The evolution of the chorus effect seems to have gotten stuck in '80s pop, along with over-processed guitars, cheesy synths, and popped collars. This ain't that kind of chorus. When Tech 21 designed the Boost Chorus pedals they went back to the '70s, when choruses were rich, smooth, and manly. They figured out what made these vintage stompboxes sound so good and poured that knowledge into a new kind of chorus pedal, with greatly improved performance and a whole slew of never-before-heard sounds. Slapback, echo, flanging, and doubling effects are all possible from the modestly named Boost Chorus pedals.
Features:
100% analog Mix, Tone, and Level controls for warm, organic sounds
Mix control ranges from 100% dry to 100% wet
Speed and Depth work in conjunction to control their respective functions of the modulation
Detune alters the choral voicing up or down, giving you a chorus sound without modulation when Speed and Depth are set at minimum
Multi Voice adds dimension and thickens the sound with additional choral voicings
Buffered bypass eliminates the shortcomings associated with "true bypass" (pops and clicks, and high-end loss when multiple pedals are connected together), as well as signal loss associated with other types of switching circuits
Custom, silent-switching actuator
Heavy duty, all metal construction
Operable with 9V alkaline battery (not included) or optional DC power supply (9-volt, DC, negative-tip, Tech 21 DC2 or equivalent)
