Sapporo (札幌市) SCH-1 Chorus
Unleash the power of analog modulation with the Sapporo SCH-1 Chorus! This vintage Japanese gem from the 1980s is a true sonic chameleon, capable of lush, shimmering textures and captivating spatial effects. At the heart of the SCH-1 lies a bucket-brigade device (BBD) delay circuit, the same technology that gave the legendary Boss CE-3 and CE-5 their iconic chorus tones. The rich, analog modulation produced by this circuit is the perfect complement to your guitar's natural voice, seamlessly blending with your dry signal to create a dimensional, three-dimensional soundscape. Three intuitive knobs allow you to sculpt the chorus character to your liking. The Rate control governs the speed of the modulation, while Depth adjusts the width of the sweep. The Intensity knob then lets you balance the wet and dry signals, enabling you to dial in everything from subtle thickening to expansive, swirling textures. But the SCH-1's party trick is its dual outputs, which allow you to achieve true stereo operation. Routing the phase-inverted output to a second amp or input creates a mesmerizing spatial effect, enveloping the listener in a shimmering wall of sound. Whether you're looking to fatten up your rhythm tones, add movement to your leads, or simply get lost in a sea of lush, undulating modulation, the Sapporo SCH-1 Chorus is a must-have for any guitarist seeking to explore the depths of analog chorus magic. Its timeless design and impeccable construction ensure this pedal will remain a studio and stage staple for years to come.
