The Original Chorus Tone That Set the Standard

Dive into the lush sounds of a celebrated vintage modulation pedal with expanded modern controls with the WA-C1 from Warm Audio, a faithful recreation of the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble. Sporting separately controlled chorus and vibrato effects along with 100% analog preamp and bucket-brigade circuitry, the WA-C1 offers warmth and responsiveness.

Controls include preamp Level and separate Depth and Rate controls for the chorus and vibrato effect sections. You also get a Hi-Z switch for engaging Hi-Z input mode (for passive instruments like guitars) and a switch for selecting input sensitivity (High or Low). You get two footswitches, one dedicated to engaging or bypassing the effect circuitry and one for selecting between the chorus and vibrato effects. The WA-C1 sports a versatile stereo output, allowing you to process your signal with immersive swirling stereo modulations, opening the door for experimentation wide open.

From Manufacturer

WA-C1 Deep Dive w/ Founder Bryce Young | Stereo Chorus & Vibrato Pedal With Depth & Rate Controls

Inspired by an ’80s Classic

The Warm Audio WA-C1 is a faithful recreation of one of the most celebrated analog chorus pedals in guitar history, the BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedal. The WA-C1 adds additional features for exploring modulated tones and corrects the most frequent and glaring shortcoming of CE-1 emulations by starting the pedal out with a premium, all-analog preamp known as a favorite among guitarists seeking responsiveness.

One major difference between the WA-C1 and the original CE-1 is the presence of separate dedicated Depth and Rate controls for both the Chorus and Vibrato sections, expanding upon the limitations of the original Intensity control on the CE-1. Some famous guitarists known for their use of the original CE-1 include:

Andy Summers (The Police)
John Fusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Dean DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots)
Joe Walsh (Eagles)
Alex Lifeson (Rush)
And many more

Deep, Lush BBD Chorus

The WA-C1 delivers lush midrange depth and detail associated with proper bucket-brigade device (BBD) analog chorus pedals. Leveraging a real analog BBD chip with other premium components and boutique build quality, the WA-C1 is carefully clocked to reproduce the detail expected from the most sought-after vintage chorus pedals.

Premium Circuitry

Warm Audio offers the authentic warmth and tone of the vintage inspiration with high-quality solid-state components, including:

100% analog preamp with bite, depth, and natural compression
True analog bucket-brigade chorus chip
Five ICs, including three Texas Instruments premium audio op-amps
11 standard transistors
Three FETs (field-effect transistor)
19 diodes
Two MOSFETs (metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor)

When it’s time to wobble, engage the Vibrato setting for added speed and bounce. Experimenting with the vibrato side yields rotary cabinet-style modulation tones, ideal for funk, fusion, blues, jazz, and more.

Hand Tested in Austin, TX

Like all Warm Audio gear, the WA-C1 is meticulously hand-tested and inspected by trained technicians in Austin, TX, USA.
