Behringer Releases Chorus Symphony: A Tribute to Vintage Modulation

Oil City Pickups banner advert

Behringer has announced the release of the Chorus Symphony, a vintage-inspired modulation pedal that pays homage to the iconic sound of the Roland Jazz Chorus amplifier.

Chorus Symphony

The Chorus Symphony boasts an all-analog BBD (Bucket Brigade Device) circuit, a hallmark of classic '70s modulation effects. This circuitry, renowned for its rich, warm character, has been faithfully recreated to deliver the thick, syrupy, and multidimensional chorus and vibrato sounds that have graced countless hit records.

It is based on the BOSS CE-1 pedal from the 1970s.

Legends like John Frusciante, Brian May, Joe Satriani, and Andy Summers, among many others, have embraced this iconic sound. The Chorus Symphony aims to capture that very essence, allowing musicians to add depth and dimension to their instruments with ease.
