Warm Audio WA-C1 Chorus Vibrato Pedal

The Warm Audio Chorus Vibrato pedal is a faithful recreation of the most celebrated all-analog chorus in guitar pedal history, with additional no-compromise features for exploring legendary modulated tones. It starts with a premium, all-analog preamp known for being a favorite of guitar players who demand ultra-responsiveness.

Warm Audio WA-C1 Chorus Vibrato Pedal Review

The lush chorus setting features separated depth and rate controls to expand beyond the limitations of vintage units while delivering a true-to-original tone. The vibrato section is preserved as authentic to the original pedals, and an added hi-z switch on the back of the pedal allows players to compensate for the higher impedance of guitars versus keyboards, adding clarity to the high end on guitars if desired.

Warm Audio WA-C1 Chorus Vibrato Pedal Features

  • 100% Analog Stereo Chorus & Vibrato Pedal With Depth & Rate Controls & Selectable Impedance

The Definitive Original Chorus Stompbox

The WA-C1 faithfully recreates the most celebrated all-analog chorus and vibrato pedal, known for its pure analog tones and rich modulation. The WA-C1 combines a faithful circuit design with separate controls for depth and rate on the chorus side, and it also features added hi-z selection for a no-compromise 100% analog chorus experience. The WA-C1 has a single input with both mono and stereo output operation.

No Emulation, Pure Analog Preamp

The WA-C1 features a 100% analog preamp that closely matches the renowned original. It includes a level control that adds bite, depth, and natural compression to guitar tones. The pedal circuit is internally supported with a charge-pump voltage regulator, ensuring robust power delivery even when using an external 9V power supply. Additionally, the preamp tone adds color and tone even in bypass mode.

Deep, Lush Chorus

The WA-C1 pedal provides rich midrange depth and detail that is typically associated with high-quality analog chorus pedals that use a Bucket Brigade Device. It utilizes a modern MN3007 BBD chip recreation by Xvive, along with other premium components and boutique build quality. The WA-C1 is meticulously calibrated to replicate the depth and rate of the original pedal, delivering the level of detail expected from the most coveted vintage pieces.

Rich, Three-Dimensional Vibrato

When you're ready to add some movement to your sound, activate the vibrato setting on the Warm Chorus Vibrato for extra speed and bounce. Trying out the vibrato option will give you modulation tones similar to a rotary effect, which are great for funk, fusion, blues, jazz, and more. The WA-C1 also features a flashing LED on the front to show which setting is active and the modulation rate.

Separate Depth & Rate Controls For Chorus

The WA-C1 has separate depth and rate controls compared to the vintage "intensity" control. On vintage units, increasing "intensity" would adjust both depth and rate simultaneously. With the WA-C1, you can exceed the constraints of vintage pedals by adjusting more depth and slower rates for even richer chorus tones.

Selectable Impedance For Multiple Sources

The WA-C1 has selectable impedance on the back panel, allowing you to choose between the vintage input impedance of 50k ohms and a 1.1M Hi-Z setting that is better suited for passive string instruments, bringing out clarity. This switch works in bypass mode to maintain clarity.

Hand-Tested In Austin, TX

Like all Warm Audio equipment, the WA-C1 undergoes meticulous hand-testing and inspection by trained technicians in Austin, TX, USA, who are passionate about making music.
