Three Voices in Parallel
Run up to three choruses at once, each with its own rate, depth, and delay time, to transform your music.
Paradox - Chorus runs three modulated delay lines side by side with the brown, purple, and blue sections, so a track can drift, shimmer, and swell all at once.
Bypass a voice for a tighter double, stack all three for wider sounds, or push the drive a little so the wet signal comes back with some weight behind it.
From ensemble to movement
Rate Drift pulls all three voices toward one speed for tight, unified movement, or stretches their differences up to 200 percent for modulation that never quite repeats itself.
L/R Phase Width sets the stereo spread from dead mono to fully unwrapped, with Voice 1 anchored in the center so the image never falls apart.
Between the two you can dial anything from polite thickening to a sound with a mind of its own.
One screen, two depths
The lit Paradox screen is the command center. The main page keeps it simple with wet dry mix, linked input and output, along with meters that you can calibrate to your own reference level.
Flip the ADV switch and the deeper options appear:
The drive section, Rate Drift, L/R Phase Width, and per voice delay times are all in one place. This keeps it simple for when you're stacking voices, but also allows you to go further for when you're chasing a specific sound.
Each chorus is unique.
Each chorus voicing has its own LFO with independent rate and depth controls, plus an in/out switch so you can audition them one at a time or run any combination of the three.
Keep the depth low and a voice comes across as a subtle detune. Push into it and you'll get more vibrato.
The Tap controls set each voice's base delay anywhere from 0 to 100 ms, which quietly makes this a slapback and doubling box too, not just a chorus.
Tape drive and drive focus
The drive stage sits in front of the voices, softening transients and warming the wet signal with a tape style curve.
Drive Focus is our own addition to the drive stage
You can pull it down to affect only the mid of the signal so you can thicken a vocal or a bass without smearing the stereo image, or you can push it towards the sides only processing to rough up the width while the center stays clean.
The HF damp option finishes the picture, darkening what enters the delay lines for that worn tape top end. You can also switch THD off anytime if you prefer to keep it clean.
The Paradox line
The first two of many
VC Rotary and Chorus start our new effects line, with more modules on the way.
