Greetings,

I purchased the delay kit last year and I like it very much. This is coming from a very picky delay user. I still use an Echoplex if that tells you anything. However I'm looking at the chorus kit. Is it true bypass? Also I've read on another forum someone talking about their BYOC chorus saying it has a vibrato function. Is he referring to the Analog Chorus kit? Finally is the kit available? Thanks

The chorus is true bypassed. The vibrato mod can be found by doing a search. There is a kit, but you will have to refer to the BYOC site regarding whether or not it's available.

the vibrato mod isn't really a "vib" sound...more like a square wavey kinda thing....just an effect...

Actually, the vibrato mod that you can do to the analog chorus kit is true pitch vibrato and it is a very very easy mod to do. But it does not have a perfect sine wave LFO like the VB-2, so it will very similar, but not exactly the same.

The kit is out of stock at the moment. Should be back next week.

Thanks for the replies. If you mod the chorus for vibrato does it still retain the chorus mode?

Depends on how you mod it. If you just pull the "vibrato" resistor, then no. If you use a simple SPST toggle switch to "lift" that resistor and put it back, then yes.

Chorus is nothing more than a vibrato signal riding on top of your dry signal. When you lift the 22k resistor in the dry signal path, you are just left with a pure vibrato signal.


You like delay, so think of it like this: When you use a delay, you hear your original or dry signal and then the repeats follow. The way a delay splits your signal into wet and dry is identical to the way a chorus does. So you could do the same thing to a delay pedal and all you would hear when you did the "vibrato" mod to your delay pedal are the repeats.


Inversely, you could do a "chorus" mod to a dedicated vibrato pedal like the VB-2 by adding a resistor to jumper between the input buffer and output buffer to add dry signal to the mix.
