Coppersound Pedals Polaris Analog Chorus/Vibrato *Free Shipping in the USA*
In The Words of Coppersound Pedals:
Polaris is a chorus/vibrato inspired by the original EHX Small Clone.
A Small Clone chorus pedal has resided in the shoppe since it’s
inception. With it’s smooth modulation and simple controls, it was a
great starting point. At the heart of Polaris resides an MN3007 BBD
chip. The same chip found in the original Small Clone. After recreating
the circuit in a breadboard, we moved forward from there. We started by
replacing the depth switch in favour of a knob. This allows for better
control of the modulation depth. Following in the steps of ,
we incorporated a second depth knob that is selectable via the
secondary footswitch. The original Small Clone did not have any tone
control options. We decided to implement a Tone knob on Polaris. This
knob allows the user to add or cut lower bass presence to the signal.
Once we had a tone section sculpted to our liking, we placed a master
Volume knob at the end of the circuit. The Volume knob goes from full
cut to slightly boosted above unity volume. These two knobs work in
conjunction with each other. Lastly, we added a Mode toggle switch to
seamlessly alter between chorus and vibrato modes.
