CH-1 Chorus
Stepping into the world of the Route 101 CH-1 Chorus is like diving into a lush, analog soundscape. This pedal is a true gem from the early 1990s, built upon the legendary Eleca ACH-1 circuit and its coveted Japanese BBD (Bucket Brigade Device) chipset. It's the sonic sibling of iconic effects like the Aria CH-1 and Collins CCH-1, all sharing the same warm, fluid modulation that defined the golden age of Japanese chorus pedals. What sets the CH-1 apart is its ability to transform your guitar tone, adding depth, dimension, and a mesmerizing shimmer. The smooth, natural chorus effect can range from subtle doubling to deep, swirling modulation, perfect for clean or driven tones. Tweak the Rate knob to control the speed of the undulating waves, while the Depth knob allows you to dial in the perfect amount of lushness. The real magic happens when you plug into the stereo outputs. The CH-1 can deliver a modulated signal to one amp while sending a dry or phase-shifted version to the other, creating a spacious, immersive stereo spread that will transport your audience. This pedal retains clarity and definition, even when layered with gain, ensuring your guitar's voice remains distinct and dynamic. Compact, durable, and built to last, the Route 101 CH-1 Chorus is a true time capsule from the golden era of analog effects. Plug in, get lost in the swirling modulation, and let this pedal transport you to new sonic dimensions.
