The Analog Man Bi-Chorus is an all-analog chorus pedal widely regarded as one of the most organic-sounding analog chorus circuits available, delivering rich, warm, swirling modulation without the cost of an original vintage unit. Rather than combining two separate chorus circuits, it stores two independent Speed and Depth settings that can be instantly switched between with a second footswitch, letting players jump from a subtle, gentle shimmer to a deeper, more pronounced swirl without stopping to adjust knobs mid-song. Optional true stereo output adds further width and dimension. It suits players wanting premium, boutique-quality analog chorus tone with the practical flexibility of two selectable presets in one pedal.
The Keeley Seafoam Chorus is a smooth, ethereal analog-voiced chorus and vibrato that uses an analog-digital design with an FET input to stay true to your core tone. Its True Chorus mode adds second and third voices with slight timing and pitch differences from the original signal, creating a more organic, three-dimensional chorus than typical units. Tone and blend controls are central to its range, letting players match darker humbucker or brighter single-coil guitars and push rate and depth for lush, trippy vibrato textures. The circuit pairs an uncommon IC with an opto-isolator LFO to deliver wide, shimmering modulation while suppressing the hum and noise common to analog choruses. It suits clean ambient, pop, and dreamy lead tones.
