Key Features
The Warm Audio WA-C1 Chorus Vibrato is a faithful recreation of the most celebrated all-analog chorus and vibrato pedal. This pedal delivers pure analog tones and rich modulation, featuring a 100 analog preamp that adds bite, depth, and natural compression to your guitar sounds. With separate controls for depth and rate, the WA-C1 allows for precise adjustments, surpassing the limitations of vintage units. The selectable impedance switch ensures clarity for passive string instruments, making it versatile for various setups. Hand-tested in Austin, TX, this pedal is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, providing premium performance and reliability.
Utilising a modern MN3007 BBD chip recreation by Xvive, the WA-C1 matches the lush midrange depth and detail expected from vintage analog chorus pedals. The vibrato setting adds a three-dimensional wobble, perfect for adding speed and bounce to your tone. The pedal also features a flashing LED that indicates the effect settings and modulation rate for easy monitoring. Whether used with mid-gain and dirty amps for classic grunge sounds or ultra-clean amps for 80s new-wave tones, the WA-C1 offers an ultra-lush, wide stereo soundscape that enhances any musical performance.

The Warm Audio WA-C1 Chorus Vibrato is a faithful recreation of the most celebrated all-analog chorus and vibrato pedal. This pedal is known for its pure analog tones and rich modulation, providing musicians with the authentic sound they crave. By utilising a modern MN3007 BBD chip recreation by Xvive, the WA-C1 captures the lush midrange depth and detail that made the original pedal a favourite among guitarists. With its meticulous circuit design, this pedal offers a no-compromise 100% analog experience.
The WA-C1 features a 100% analog preamp, meticulously matched to the renowned original. This preamp adds bite, depth, and natural compression to your guitar tones, enhancing your sound even in bypass mode. Supported internally with a charge-pump voltage regulator, the pedal delivers robust power when using an external 9V power supply. The analog preamp tone provides additional colour and warmth, making every note stand out with exceptional clarity and presence.
The WA-C1 offers separate controls for depth and rate, allowing for precise adjustments that surpass the limitations of vintage pedals. Unlike the vintage “intensity” control, which increased both depth and rate simultaneously, the WA-C1 enables you to dial in more depth with slower rates for even richer chorus tones. This flexibility ensures that you can achieve the perfect modulation effect for any musical style, from subtle enhancements to dramatic, sweeping sounds.
Featuring a selectable impedance switch on the back panel, the WA-C1 ensures clarity for passive string instruments. You can choose between the vintage input impedance of 50k ohm and a 1.1M Hi-Z setting better suited for passive guitars. This switch works in bypass mode, maintaining the high-end clarity of your instrument when the effect is not engaged. This versatility makes the WA-C1 an ideal choice for musicians looking to preserve their instrument’s natural tone while enjoying the rich modulation effects of this exceptional pedal.
