Coppersound Polaris Vibrato / Chorus

$199, Coppersound Polaris Analog Chorus/Vibrato "Polaris is a chorus/vibrato inspired by the original EHX Small Clone. A Small Clone chorus pedal has resided in the shoppe since it’s inception. With its smooth modulation and simple controls, it was a great starting point. At the heart of Polaris resides an MN3007 BBD chip. The same chip found in the original Small Clone. After recreating the circuit in a breadboard, we moved forward from there. We started by replacing the depth switch in favour of a knob. This allows for better control of the modulation depth. Following in the steps of Daedalus, we incorporated a second depth knob that is selectable via the secondary footswitch." More info here.... Click on the title for more
