Step into the golden age of analog modulation with the Warm Audio WA-C1 Stereo Chorus/Vibrato Pedal, a faithful recreation of the most sought-after vintage chorus and vibrato tones ever made. Built with authentic bucket brigade circuitry, the WA-C1 captures the lush, organic movement and warmth that defined classic recordings of the 1970s and 1980s. From smooth, shimmering choruses to deep, dimensional vibrato sweeps, this pedal delivers a sonic experience that’s as musical as it is inspiring. At its core, the WA-C1 features a fully analog preamp stage, providing natural harmonic drive and a responsive feel that enhances your tone even before modulation is applied. The preamp alone can act as a tonal sweetener, adding subtle saturation and bite to your signal. With independent chorus and vibrato sections and dual footswitch controls for bypass and effect selection, the WA-C1 gives players total control on stage or in the studio — switch between vintage-style chorus and lush vibrato textures instantly, all without touching a knob. Warm Audio engineered the WA-C1 for the modern musician without sacrificing its analog heart. The true stereo outputs allow you to build massive, immersive soundscapes that fill any mix or performance space, while the hi-Z switch ensures compatibility with guitars, basses, keyboards, and other line-level instruments. Whether you want to recreate the darker, warmer modulation of the ’70s or the sparkling clarity of the ’80s, the WA-C1 makes it easy to shape your sound with precision and authenticity. Under the hood, the WA-C1 is packed with three premium Texas Instruments op-amps, ensuring crystal-clear fidelity and smooth, noise-free performance. Each pedal is hand-tested in Austin, Texas, guaranteeing Warm Audio’s signature quality and reliability. From gentle chorus shimmer to swirling vibrato waves, the WA-C1 delivers boutique-grade tone that rivals — and often surpasses — the legendary pedals that inspired it. Designed for players who crave real analog feel and exceptional control, the Warm Audio WA-C1 isn’t just another modulation pedal — it’s the rebirth of a vintage classic, perfected for the modern era.
