  • JHS Pedals The Emperor V2 Analog Chorus/Vibrato w/ Tap Tempo

    In 2014 we brought you the Emperor V1, a 100% Analog Chorus/Vibrato with Tap Tempo. Now in 2018 we are proud to bring you the Emperor V2! There are two ways to look at the JHS Pedals Emperor Analog Chorus/Vibrato pedal. The Emperor V2 is a vintage-correct effect that absolutely nails the hard-to-find sound of the Arion SCH-1...but its also a do-it-all modulation solution whether you want a subtle sheen, convincing rotary simulation, or seasick vibrato. It utilizes a Bucket Brigade 3207 chipset to deliver the warmth of ‘80s-style analog chorus pedals and we've added enough onboard and outboard control to put you in command of every aspect of the Emperor’s voice. Whether spreading its warm tones or icy sheen to a pristine-sounding stereo rig... or utilizing an external expression pedal to cop realistic rotary speaker sounds on a blues gig, the Emperor can do it all.

    Updated Tone Shaping Capabilities
    Making a good thing better? Yes, please. The Emperor V1 had a Tone control which has now become the EQ control in the Emperor V2. We've replaced the passive tone control in the V1 with an active EQ control that functions as a Tilt. You'll now have much more tone shaping capability in the V2. The overall EQ control is much improved in the Emperor V2 and you will not lose any low-end sometimes commonly found with chorus/vibrato pedals.

    So much modulation

    We call the Emperor an analog chorus/vibrato. That’s just because calling it a true analog chorus/pitch vibrato with tap tempo/waveform selection/rotary speaker simulation/true stereo output/and more pedal would have been a pain to write every time.
    - The glorious tones of a real-deal, 3207 chipset bucket brigade topology
    - Mini toggle switch selects between chorus and vibrato effects
    - Three available waveform types (sine, square, and triangle)
    - Intuitive controls for Volume, EQ, Speed, and Depth

    In-depth tempo control
    To control the rate of the Emperor’s effect, simply turn the Speed knob up and down or tap the tap tempo footswitch. Or for the more adventurous among us...plug in an expression pedal for variable control in real time. And you can even slave the pedal to other tap-controlled pedals for rhythmic consistency across all your effects.
    - Control the rate with the onboard Speed knob or tap tempo footswitch
    - Internal Tap/Exp mini switch controls the side-mounted Tap/Exp TRS jack
    - Use an external source to control the rate in the Tap Out setting (works great with our Panther Cub
    Delay and Unicorn pedals).
    - LED indicator notifies you of the effect’s tempo, even when disengaged

Fantastic chorus sounds! Stereo Out too.

This thing sounds killer on my guitars and my synths! Great 80s sounding chorus for guitar but also does the rotary speaker style chorus as well. I didn’t realize this pedal had TRS out stereo capability. I plugged my Dreadbox Nymphes into it and use a splitter and it sounds incredible.

Great modulation solution

I love this chorus pedal, it recreates very well all classic chorus sounds: lush, pristine, watery, subtle or very present, it can handle it all! It’s an overall modulation solution that pairs well with clean and distorted sounds thanks to the EQ control, but there’s so much variety and quality of sounds in this little box. Both chorus and vibrato are exceptional and you can almost fake low-depth subtle uni vibe sounds with it. The wave selector is great, classic sine and triangle, and that square wave makes some pretty crazy cool textures. And the tap tempo comes so handy!

Superb Chorus!

This pedal has lush chorus tones along with great vibrato bends in either low-fi mode with the tone **** backed up or normal vibrato
depending on where you want to go! This pedal far exceeds all the
other chorus pedals I own, love my JHS!

Near Perfect Chorus Pedal

This is a CE-2 on steroids. the CE-2 is the gold standard for chorus pedal but this thing is that plus more **** for tinkering. The volume **** can lead to murky tones but this is a top tier chorus pedal.
