PG's Nikos Arvanitis explains and demonstrates the individual sonic qualities and contrasting characteristics of the most-used modulation effects on guitar by citing the Police, Heart, Prince, Nirvana, Whitesnake, and Pearl Jam.
The retro-inspired chorus/vibrato/flanger pedal provides all the functionality of a classic big box Deluxe ElectricMistress flanger/filter matrix and the first-ever chorus pedal, the BOSS CE-1.
Adding to a growing lineup of high-quality guitar effects, JFX Pedals has introduced the Deluxe Modulation Ensemble. The retro-inspired chorus/vibrato/flanger pedal provides all the functionality of a classic big box Deluxe ElectricMistress flanger/filter matrix and the first-ever chorus pedal, the BOSS CE-1.
The JFX Deluxe Modulation Ensemble offers an uncannily accurate revisitation of two iconic effects. Just like the originals, the JFX’s Mistress circuit includes the filter matrix mode and the optional direct out, while the JFX’s CE-1 circuit provides mono or stereo outputs and a footswitch to toggle between chorus or a faster vibrato mode.
The pedal also offers the much beloved CE-1 preamp, an always-on circuit that fattens and sweetens your guitar’s signal. The CE-1 preamp is controlled by a two-way toggle switch with high/low settings, as well as a level control knob. With this feature, the JFX Deluxe ModulationEnsemble will improve your tone every time you plug it in, even when you aren’t using its chorus/vibrato or flanger effects.
It’s pedalboard friendly: the JFX Deluxe Modulation Ensemble comes in a compact enclosure with top-mounted jacks and is powered by a standard 9V adapter. It only takes up about as much space as two BOSS pedals!
Each pedal is assembled by hand and tested personally by the owner.
Deluxe Modulation Ensemble features include:
- The sought-after CE-1 preamp with high/low toggle and peak level LED, just like an original CE-1
- Stereo or mono operation (wet/dry chorus and vibrato in stereo)
- An optional effects loop between the two circuits provides flexible routing options
- True-bypass switching (flanger); Buffered bypass (chorus/vibrato)
- Standard 9V power via external supply (no battery compartment)
- Fully analog BBD circuitry
- The same voltages and operation as the originals
- Beautifully designed enclosures with quality hardware
- Made in Canada
JFX Pedals Deluxe Modulation Ensemble is available for $574.99 CAD.
