The Chorus Symphony follows the tradition of analog modulations based on BBD (Bucket Brigade Device), sought after for their organic movement and slightly "liquid" texture. Its approach highlights the great family of legendary amp choruses, with a preamp that contributes as much to the character as to the effect itself: a very musical way to thicken the sound and add presence, even before adding much modulation.
This modulation pedal is ideal if you are looking for a warm chorus for clean, arpeggio, or pop/funk rhythms, but also an expressive vibrato for more psychedelic, surf, or ambient colors. In the studio, the stereo helps position the guitar in the mix without pushing it forward. Live, it shines on a simple pedalboard, with immediate handling and quick adjustments between songs.
The Behringer Chorus Symphony offers a 100 percent analog signal path with BBD chips, and an ergonomics designed to get straight to the point. The chorus is adjusted via a single control that affects speed and depth, perfect for quickly finding the "sweet spot." The vibrato has dedicated Rate and Depth controls to dose the movement, from subtle undulation to a more pronounced effect. The preamp and the Input Level High/Low selector optimize headroom according to your guitar, keyboard, or bass. An internal switch allows choosing between buffered bypass (useful at the end of the chain or with long cables) and true bypass.
The chorus delivers a wide, dense, and silky modulation, with that "broad" side that gives the impression the sound opens around you, especially in stereo. The response remains dynamic: playing harder brings out more texture without becoming harsh. The vibrato provides a more direct and expressive modulation, ideal for giving a tape or floating pitch impression, while staying musical when settings are subtle.
