Red Witch Empress Chorus Pedal: Hey, I'm Ben Fulton from Red Witch Analog Pedals. We're based in New Zealand. We're here at the 2009 NAMM Show, Dana B. Goods Booth, our US Distributor, and I'd like to show you the Empress Chorus Pedal, our Red Witch Chorus. This pedal is the one that Andy Sommers has been using on the Police Reunion Tour to provide his chorus sounds. We've got a bunch of features. First, the controls are pretty standard. You've got a mix of wet and dry, you can control how much chorus you have in the sound. You've got a depth control to control how deep the chorus sound is. Again, pretty standard. Over here we've got a velocity control that allows you to choose how fast the rate of the sweepers from really fast through to a super slow sweep. It'll take about 45 seconds to go through. But, we don't have 45 seconds to wait for it. This control here, this is the thing that really makes the pedal unique. Every single chorus pedal that exists, its flavor, its character is defined by the delay time that the unit sets within itself. This is the only pedal available that you can control the delay time with a part. So you can sit around here for a really short delay time, it's really tight, clean sounding chorus. This one here. We can shift that delay and make it a little bit longer, it sounds like this. We bring it around a little bit further, and we bring it around here and everyone gets sea sick. This control here allows you to turn this chorus pedal into a vibrato pedal and so the chorus thing is this, and suddenly vibrato does this. So, it's a modulation of the pitch. I really like this sound here. To me, it's preferable to the Trem Low sound. So that's the Red Witch Chorus Vibrato Pedal. You should check it out.
