Polaris Chorus & Vibrato : CopperSound Pedals

collapse expand iconDescription

The CopperSound Polaris is a chorus/vibrato inspired by the original EHX Small Clone. With its smooth modulation and simple controls, it was a great starting point. At the heart of Polaris resides an MN3007 BBD chip, the same one found in the original NYC box.

After recreating the circuit in a breadboard, CopperSound designers moved forward from there. They started by replacing the depth switch in favor of a knob. This allows for better control of the modulation depth. Following in the steps of Daedalus, they incorporated a second depth knob that is selectable via the secondary footswitch. The original circuit did not have any tone control options. They decided to implement a Tone knob on Polaris. This knob allows the user to add or cut lower bass presence to the signal. CopperSound placed a master Volume knob at the end of the circuit. The Volume knob goes from full cut to slightly boosted above unity volume. These two knobs work in conjunction with each other. Lastly, the company added a Mode toggle switch to seamlessly alter between chorus and vibrato modes.

    I got my Polaris a little over a month ago and I couldnt be more happy with it. As a long time lover of the small clone, the controls here are everything I've wanted - especially the secondary depth function. I primarily record clean guitars and this makes it onto just about every one. The chorus mode is silky smooth and you can get pretty crazy with the vibrato mode. I originally had the Boss CE2 (for years) but I wanted more versatility. I would highly recommend this pedal if you're after a great chorus!

    The diversity in tone I can get is amazing! The warm analog sound its beautiful and with just an adjustment of the tone knob I can make it brighter to cut through a thick mix or stack it with fuzz and get a great lead solo tone. Its fantastic that you have a volume knob on the pedal that you can actually boast your signal, something that my old small clone just did not have. My favorite part if this pedal is the second focus option you can push that thing into almost harmonizer world! The sounds you can get are amazing. I love the options you get on the pedal without sacrificing and quality in tone. Super durable and total tonal control that no other chorus has. Love it
