Asheville music tools ACV-1 Analog Chorus Vibrato
The ACV-1 Analog Chorus Vibrato is a pedal offered by the Asheville Music Tools brand.
The ACV-1 from the Analoger series is the latest innovation in 100% analog effects. This chorus/vibrato/slapback is based on a modulated BBD delay line, featuring a set of flexible synthesizer-inspired controls. At first glance, the ACV-1 appears to be a highly customizable classic chorus. In reality, it's a powerhouse of time modulation: swirls of sparkling comb filters, rich vibrato, glitchy textures, metallic sounds, and even simulated reverb.
This remarkable analog modulator was designed by Hawker to deliver the ultimate time warping experience. With a simple change in mindset, it is possible to be transported to a lost time where nothing will be the same!
