SINCE 1968Still independent
An analog chorus and vibrato pedal that merges lush vintage tones with modern modulation control, the ACV-1 delivers deep, dimensional sound and endless creativity.
The ACV-1 is not your average chorus pedal - it’s a fully analog, tone-shaping tool built to traverse decades of modulation textures with precision and soul. At its core lies a 1024-stage Xvive™ MN3007 bucket brigade chip, delivering lush, dimensional chorus and vibrato with unmistakable analog warmth.
What sets the ACV-1 apart? Almost everything. A Time knob lets you morph the delay line for everything from tight '70s shimmer to dripping '80s swirl, slapback delay, and even flanger tones. The Feedback control, complete with phase and tone shaping, unlocks metallic resonances, vocal-like filters, and haunting, bell-like drones.
You’ll also find multiple LFO waveforms - triangle, sine, and square - for everything from gentle vintage wobble to glitchy pitch jumps and warbly vibrato. And with Rate, Amount, and Mix controls that go from subtle dimensional depth to fully wet warps, you can chase classic chorus tones or dive headfirst into tape-machine mayhem.
For sonic explorers, the CV input extends the playground: modulate pitch, push feedback into self-oscillation, or collapse delay time into lo-fi, ring-modulated weirdness.
Whether you're after a double-tracked shimmer or immersive time-warping chaos, the ACV-1 is analog modulation with a serious creative streak.
