SCH-1 Stereo Chorus
Cult-classic BBD chorus with MN3207 chip. Highly coveted tone.
The Arion SCH-1 Stereo Chorus is perhaps the most celebrated budget pedal ever made. Using the same MN3207 BBD chip found in the Boss CE-3, it delivers lush, warm analog chorus that rivals pedals costing many times more.
The unique tone control is key to its versatility—dialed low, it produces dark, muddy Leslie-cabinet-style sounds; turned up, it creates crystal-clear shimmering highs. The LFO speed ranges from 90ms to 1.8s, covering everything from subtle movement to dramatic warble.
Originally sold for under $40, the SCH-1 has become one of the most coveted Arion effects, with used prices often exceeding the original retail. Its plastic enclosure belies the quality of its sound, proving that great tone doesn't require a premium price tag.
