Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The JHS Emperor V2 is a chorus and vibrato pedal based on the circuit of the Arion SCH-1, a vintage chorus pedal known for its lush, dimensional modulation. Controls include Rate, Depth, and a tilt EQ that balances high and low frequencies in the wet signal. A mode switch selects between Chorus and Vibrato. The Emperor V2 covers subtle clean chorus shimmer, convincing rotary speaker simulation, and full pitch vibrato modulation. Made in Kansas City, Missouri.
The Warm Guitar Pedals WA-C1 is a stereo chorus/vibrato pedal offering depth and rate controls for classic modulation effects, from subtle chorus shimmer to more pronounced vibrato pitch modulation. Built by Warm Audio, a company known for their studio recording gear before expanding into guitar effects, it brings that studio-informed engineering approach to modulation effects.
