The Vienna Chorus is a two channel chorus pedal that mimics a Leslie rotating speaker by allowing the guitarist to instantly transition between a moderate choral effect to an intense vibrato with the stomp of a footswitch. This can be particularly effective when switching the chorus between a verse and a bridge to create lush and exciting effects.
But unlike today’s sterile digital chorus pedals, the Vienna is old school. The distinctive warm tone is captured by way of new old stock (NOS) Panasonic MN3007 - circa 1980 bucket brigade chips from the early days of analog delay & chorus pedal development. What makes the Vienna particularly impressive is that unlike the analog chorus pedals of yesteryears that were plagued with noise and hiss, the Vienna is quiet. In fact so quiet it rivals today’s digital alternatives. This means that tone aficionados can finally rejoice with the character and feel of a vintage chorus pedal without the noise.
Both chorus channels are equipped with individual speed and intensity controls to effectively deliver two pedals in one. The effect is augmented with ‘turbo mode’ that both alters the oscillator waveform shape while increasing the range. This let’s you transition from avant-garde to extreme, further exploring the musical tonescape.
Optimized for pedalboards, the Vienna is super compact and employs 9V powering to suit the various DC power bricks that are now common with multi-pedal systems. To keep mayhem under control, full size LEDs provide high-visibility status indicators for dark stages. And like all Radial products, the Vienna is built ‘tough’ with 14 gauge steel and baked enamel finish to handle the rigors of professional touring.
