Brigade Chorus Pedal
-
Thick '70s analog shimmer and deep, huge vibrato.
Revered for its warm, organic modulation and chewy pitch-shifting vibrato, the BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble* was the first ever production stompbox chorus. Introduced in 1976, this heavy-duty pewter box quickly dazzled players and producers with its luxuriant, dreamy textures.
The Brigade Chorus Pedal plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces emulates every inch of this legendary pedal, expertly capturing its legendary bucket-brigade circuit to deliver captivating chorus shimmer and wobbly vibrato that works on nearly any source.Now You Can:
Give parts and instruments 3-D movement with legendary bucket-brigade chorus
Add thickness, width, and shimmer to guitars, vocals, drums, pianos, and more
Create subtle detuned textures or all out warble with unmatched vibrato circuit
Get legendary, milkshake-thick chorus on electric guitar and bass tracks
Take a listen
Bucket-Brigade Circuit
Key to the original hardware’s magic is its bucket-brigade circuit; a series of capacitors that pass the effected analog signal along subsequent transistor stages — the “bucket brigade.” As the signal moves down the line, the delayed signal degrades in a uniquely warm and musical fashion, gently caressing treble frequencies and introducing organic, wholly analog modulation. UA’s team of DSP experts have captured this classic circuit in all its glory for the Brigade Chorus Pedal plug-in.
A Chorus for Any Source
Sporting simple, straightforward features, the Brigade Chorus Pedal plug-in can be used on a channel strip or an effects bus to subtly enhance or transform anything you run through it. Easily widen vocals or add haze and shimmer to drum overheads. On electric guitar and bass, the Brigade Chorus Pedal plug-in yields the fat, unmistakable guitar sound of late ’70s Rush and the electric bass textures of the Cure and New Order. Or you can put the Brigade Chorus Pedal plug-in on a Fender Rhodes patch a‘la Herbie Hancock.
Maximum Spread
When used with stereo tracks or buses, the Brigade Chorus Pedal plug-in can be used exactly as the original pedal — left side dry, right side effected. But with the “plug-in only” Dual Mode, the Brigade Chorus Pedal acts as if two pedals are patched in using their mono outputs — giving you maximum left/right spread. Whereas some chorus units sound unnatural and “tacked on,” the Brigade Chorus Pedal plug-in gets inside your sources with high-caloric chorus thick enough to spoon out of your speakers.
“The Brigade Chorus Pedal plug-in is instant vibe in the box. A tweak in any direction will ignite your creative flow with unique tones.”
– Ivan Barias (Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, Estelle)
“The UAD Brigade Chorus plug-in is the go-to for any guitarist wanting to create that iconic ’80s guitar sound. Or you can add it to more distorted guitar sounds to easily reproduce many of the ‘90s grunge tones.”
– Steve Levine (Culture Club, Beach Boys, Honeyz)
“The Brigade Chorus Pedal plug-in is perfect for giving guitars that classic '80s vibrato. It can be a great stereo widener for synths, guitars, and even background vocals.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)
“The original hardware is arguably the most luscious of all chorus pedals. Its warmth and liquid modulation are captured perfectly in the Brigade Chorus Pedal plug-in, including the way-cool overdriving of the pedal's front end.”
– Richard Chycki (Rush, Aerosmith, Dream Theater)
“Whenever I need a great chorus plug-in, I call on the UAD Brigade Chorus. It can be a subtle or not very subtle modulation that gives me a wide range of great tones and moods.”

Unbelievably Awesome
First, the Apollo x4 is a “beast.” I’ve been using a different audio interface with my Yamaha HS8 monitors and it’s always sounded dull. But after connecting the X4, there was a total different sound from my Hs8. It sounded alive and clean. I didn’t have to turn the volume all the way up to hear my music.
Second, the preamps are awesome. I’m spending more time recording now than ever.
Third, the plugins are a miracle. They do wonders.
The console is awesome.
Still learning more about my new “AXE”

Great sounding pedal effect
I got it as a freebie, a welcome plugin if you will. At first I wasn't really sure if I'll use it or not but then I gave it a chance and I wasn't dissapointed. It's a great sounding analog type of chorus which can also be used on a various of material. I use it mainly on my guitars and keys, when I'm mixing but it could be easily used for any of your creative stuff as well. It really sound great, it's easy to use and now it's part of my mixing tools. Oh, and thanks to UAD for such a treat.

Support Services Are Horrible
Not able to reach any support staff. Waited on hold for 1 hour 40 minutes. Finally, I had to take a business call and pressed # for a call back. Someone from UA eventually called back when I was on another business call, but they did not leave a message or anyway to follow-up. Horrible support services.

I added this plugin to my permanent plugins to try on the mix. That quite says everything on my opinion.

Sounds clean and interesting
In matter of effects, it is pretty straightforward: do I see this chorus in my permanent tools to try in my mix. The answer is surprisingly yes. The sound is special and interesting but above all...good.
