Earlier this year, I stood in front of a contemporary art installation from a Quebec artist asking me to trigger, via pedal, the end of the world.

$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.

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
