Retro-Sonic Introduces The Stereo Chorus Effect Pedal

Retro-Sonic® Inc. is pleased to announce a major product enhancement to the Chorus effect pedal. Based on customer demand, the improved Chorus pedal now has stereo outputs and operates from standard 9VDC power supplies. Shipping on the new Chorus is planned for October, 2006.

According to Tim Larwill of Retro-Sonic®, "the additional stereo output provides users the option of a two-amp setup. This brings a heightened dimension to the existing thick sound of the Chorus effect pedal."

Retro-Sonic® has now developed a custom proprietary solution to allow the use of 9VDC power input, and internally convert this to the Chorus voltage requirements. Internally, the unit still runs on the same voltage specifications, (meaning there is no impact to the tone of the circuit), but musicians now have the convenience of hooking up to a standard negative center 9VDC adapter, or popular power supply units.

The Chorus outputs are now labeled "MONO" and "STEREO". Inserting a plug in the "STEREO" jack splits the dry and wet signals for stereo separation to two amps (wet signal on the "mono" output, and dry signal on the "stereo" output. Removing the plug from the stereo jack puts the unit back into mono mode. To mark the introduction of these new improvements, there will be a limited run of 100 units that will be unique. These units will have a red LED to indicate normal/bypass mode, and a yellow LED to indicate the chorus/vibrato speed. The silk screen on these has the words "CHORUS" and "Stereo Edition" in Blue.
