And yes, it’s really analog!ĭoes the Analog Chorus have True Bypass switching?

How close is the Analog Chorus to a CE-1?Īnalog Chorus is a faithful sonic clone of the CE-1. The Analog Chorus is capable of a wide range of sounds from a thick analog doubling, to uber-lush chorus, and even a Leslie rotating speaker.

Its lush and distinctively organic tone is the standard by which all other chorus effects are measured. The Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus is an exact true sonic replica of the most sought after chorus of all time: the 1976 Roland CE-1. Musical range of Speed and Intensity settings

“This is the best chorus I’ve ever used” – Tim Pierce, L.A. “Warm where many other products are seemingly sterile and cold” 'The Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus is a faithful sonic clone of the old CE1. The Analog Chorus is capable of a wide range of sounds from a thick analog doubling, to an ultra-lush chorus, and even a Leslie rotating speaker. Its lush, focused tone is the standard by which all other chorus effects are measured. Still, it does seem a bit odd when they describe it as a 'sonic replica' of the CE-1.Strikingly vocal with a distinctive organic tone, the Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus is the only true sonic replica of the most sought after chorus of all time – the 1976 CE-1. Again, this might make a small difference to noise and/or distortion figures, but it won't be huge. Swapping op-amps for something better quality/lower noise is a common thing to do amongst boutique 'clones', so it's not a surprise that the op-amps differ. That'll change the apparent shape of the sweep which changes the audible quality of the sound quite a bit, although with shallow depths, you won't notice so much. What might make a difference in that part of the circuit would be how the modulation is applied to the clock. The MN3102 is a BBD clock/driver, not the BBD itself, BTW. The clock won't at all, and the BBD might a little bit, but not much (after all, the whole point is that we hope what comes out is what we put in). Plus from what you say, it sounds like they used a different clock and BBD, although that won't affect the sound much. You could change a few values and alter the voicing significantly. It's quite possible for the circuit to be very much a direct copy and yet sound completely different.
