Out of this world
More than just a chorus, the Solaris is a completely enveloping sound that enhances whatever you put through it.
Beyond Influence
This pedal began in 2019, in an to attempt to replicate the the classic Solina String Ensemble’s Tri-Chorus section in a smaller form factor, and use the capabilities now possible thanks to the advent of digital control to expand on what it could do.
While the signal path is 100% analog, including three Bucket Brigade Devices, the digital control system enables things that just weren’t possible in the 70’s. A tiny digital brain generates the LFOs, allowing for seamless switching between an array of 6 different chorus modes, some classic and some completely unique to this pedal.
Newly minted designs for preamp, mixer & output amplifier stages, custom-tailored for the broader array of use cases presented by the guitar pedal format.
A boost/cut control lets you keep the input clean even with very hot signals. You can alternately generate some beautiful, lightly compressed grit by turning the preamp control up high and overloading the input stage, which has been set up provide some pleasant extra grit that adds a bit of harmonic sweetness.
A gorgeous, pedalboard-ready box that can output some of the most mesmerizing stereo effects you’ve ever heard.
Intelligent mono/stereo output routing ensures you won’t only get half the effect if running the pedal in mono. If only one output is connected (to the left/mono jack), then all three voices are routed there. If you plug two output jacks in, the voices split between them left, right & centre, providing an enormous spacial effect that could give any reverb a run for its money in terms of atmosphere.
Because the stereo effect is generated via voice routing, the stereo output is safe to use with anything that may collapse the signal to mono, and won’t cause the issues sometimes run into when generating stereo fields via phase inversion. This is the perfect pedal to use at the junction where your board expands from mono into stereo.
Here are some sound clips recorded from prototype units - use headphones to get the full stereo effect!
