The Carl Martin Classic Chorus is an analog chorus pedal offering warm, vintage-voiced chorus modulation from Carl Martin's classic product line. Uses bucket-brigade device (BBD) analog circuitry to produce organic, musical chorus tones that complement both clean and slightly driven guitar tones. Controls include Rate and Depth for standard chorus speed and intensity adjustment. Danish boutique construction. Suited for classic rock, pop, country, and vintage-inspired styles where warm analog chorus character is preferred over digital alternatives.
The Catalinbread Callisto Mk. II is an analog chorus and vibrato pedal from Portland, Oregon, using a bucket-brigade device circuit for warm, organic modulation with the liquid, natural quality of analog delay-based chorus. Features separate rate and depth controls with a chorus and vibrato mode switch. The BBD circuit produces the warm, slightly darkening modulation quality that analog delay provides, rather than the perfectly clean pitch-shifting of digital alternatives. Associated with classic vintage-style chorus and vibrato tones. Made in Portland by Catalinbread.
