This pedal has an infinite number of analog chorus/vibe devices in one box. The circuit lets you adjust the delay time via a potentiometer - from one extreme to the other and everything in between.
The most enticing feature is the unique voicing control; This dial allows you to access virtually any chorus sound you could desire! It changes the delay time - it's on a pot so you've got an infinite number of chorus pedals in one box - from super spanky sparkling clean to noisy, sea sick inducing, pitch bending wobble.
Delay time determines a big part of any chorus units tone/flavour/sound - short delay creates a very pristine, airy chorus whereas longer delay time gives more 'wobble' and 'throb'.
Vibe/Chorus Switch; Choose between Chorus or Vibrato mode. When in vibrato Mode you can use the voicing dial to choose from gentle, subtle pitch shifting through to wild semitone leaps. The voicing control functions in vibe mode the same way it does in chorus mode – it shifts the delay time form Nasty or Nice.
Velocity: Super stand still slow to freaked out fast.
Mix: As clean or as chorusy as you like.
Depth: From a delicate flutter to a sickening swing.
Stereo Out: The Empress loves to function in stereo – harness her to two amplifiers and stand in between them – one will carry the dry signal and the other will carry the wet. The chorusing occurs in the air between the amps.
Bright switch: This allows you to access some more sparkle on the more shimmery settings (Set voicing anywhere between 7 o’clock and 11 o’clock) . Engaging this switch in more extreme settings will add background hiss.
Internal slide switch: The Empress has two different input stages – the slide switch lets you choose between them. The unit is preset by us to the Medusa input stage setting. The other position provides a little more boost and slightly different tonal response.
