Browne Amplification SSHAC Sky Snake Hawk Attack Chorus Pedal

The SSHAC, or "Sky Snake Hawk Attack Chorus" was born out of Browne's desire for an analog bucket brigade chorus pedal that felt just out of reach. Browne set out to build upon all the things they loved from the classics by breathing new life into what they feel is the perfect chorus. This included making sure the SSHAC retained low end, has no volume drop, & giving you access to faster “rate” speeds. With the ability to do everything from slow, lush, ballad inducing chorus, to Leslie-esque rotary tones, all the way to pure, warm & beautiful vibrato the SSHAC gives you access to anything you can dream up. The “Wet” output runs through the analog bucket brigade circuit and has the affected signal. The “Dry” output is pulled directly from the input buffer stage. The “Dry” output allows the SSHAC to be run in stereo to give you everything from a subtle yet wide spread to a sea sick onslaught of the senses. “BLEND” controls the mix of dry vs modulated signal sent to the “WET” output. This allows the SSHAC to give you everything from subtle chorus to pure vibrato. Fully CW (right) is completely dry with no modulation. Fully CCW (left) is pure vibrato with no dry signal. Everything in between is varying degrees of chorus. “DEPTH” controls the amplitude of pitch modulation. Lower settings will be more subtle, higher settings will be more dramatic. Fully CCW is minimum pitch deviation. Fully CW is maximum pitch deviation. “SPEED” controls how quickly the pitch modulates. Fully CCW is minimum speed. Fully CW is maximum speed. The rate LED under the "SPEED" knob shows you how quickly the pedal is modulating. Since the SSHAC is a fully analog bucket brigade chorus, you’ll notice that as you run it closer to pure “vibrato” your top end will start to roll off a bit & become warmer. This is due to the filtering necessary for eliminating clock noise in the circuit. When running the SSHAC in mono, use the “Wet” output only. The SSHAC is 9V ONLY & the power draw is less than 75mA (around 50mA). It has soft switching with an adjustable start up state. Dimensions are 4.8” x 2.64” x 1.6” (2.3” with knobs).
