Behringer · pedal
The Behringer Chorus Symphony is a BBD analog chorus pedal inspired by the Roland Jazz Chorus amplifier.

Dual mono or stereo outputs enable stereo spread to two amplifiers or channels. A switch offers true bypass or buffered bypass modes. Controls include Rate and Depth. 9V DC power. Designed to reproduce the warm liquid analog chorus character of the Roland Jazz Chorus at a fraction of the amplifier cost. Part of Behringer effects range targeting classic vintage analog chorus tones.
