AC-1 Analog Chorus

Description

Vintage Inspired Analog Chorus Pedal

The UAS AC-1 Analog Chorus is a boutique analog chorus pedal inspired by the iconic Electro Harmonix Small Clone, reimagined with enhanced depth and versatile modulation. Built around an NOS Panasonic MN3007 Bucket Brigade chip, it delivers the warm, lush tones that defined ’80s and ’90s guitar sounds, from Nirvana’s Come As You Are to The Police’s Walking on the Moon. With a true bypass design and a variable Rate control replacing the original switch, the AC-1 offers everything from slow Leslie-style swirls to fast, vibrant modulation in a compact, pedal board friendly enclosure.

Key Features of the UAS AC-1 Analog Chorus

• NOS Panasonic MN3007 Chip

  Authentic Bucket Brigade Device (BBD) circuitry ensures rich, vintage analog warmth unmatched by digital chorus pedals.

• Enhanced Depth

  Improved over the Small Clone for deeper, more immersive chorus effects that enhance cleans and leads.

• Variable Rate Control

  Replaces the original switch with a pot for a wide range of speeds, from subtle shimmers to over-the-top warbles.

• True Bypass

  reserves your guitar’s natural tone when the pedal is off, ideal for complex signal chains.

• Compact Design

  Sleek, pedalboard-friendly enclosure fits seamlessly into any setup.

Lush Tones, Endless Versatility

The UAS AC-1 Analog Chorus brings classic analog modulation to modern rigs. The Depth control lets you dial in subtle, shimmering textures or bold, three-dimensional waves, while the Rate control sweeps from slow, rotary-speaker-like pulses to fast, psychedelic vibrato. Powered by the NOS MN3007 chip, this pedal delivers the organic warmth and smooth modulation that made the Small Clone a staple for artists like Kurt Cobain and Andy Summers. Whether you’re crafting ambient soundscapes or adding sparkle to arpeggios, the AC-1 elevates your tone with vintage authenticity.

How to Use It

Place the UAS AC-1 Analog Chorus after your drive pedals in the signal chain to add lush modulation to distorted or clean tones. For classic ’80s vibes, pair it with a clean amp and set the Rate low and Depth high. For modern textures, crank the Rate for vibrant, almost vibrato-like effects. Its true bypass design ensures it integrates seamlessly with other pedals, and the NOS BBD chip guarantees authentic analog character. Experiment with your amp’s EQ to fine-tune the chorus’s presence in the mix.
