Foxgear Ballade Vintage Chorus

One of the most important effects that created the distinctive sound of the guitar in the 80’s was without a doubt, the Chorus.  The ability to make a basic clean sound become beautiful, lush, and ethereal was a milestone in the history of music. At that time the equipment was noisy analog, signal-reducing pedals.

Starting with an idea to hold true to the sound made famous by great units like the Boss CE-1 and CE-2, Foxgear kept the circuit totally analog and worked to design the unit to be super quiet, to not reduce signal in any frequency, and to have a better response in the Low frequency range making it exceptional for bass also.

As with all other Foxgear pedals, the Ballade has Standard Audio-grade components in the audio path, (no SMD) and it is equipped with our own anti-pop relay assisted true bypass circuitry.
