Browne Amplification Sky Snake Hawk Attack Chorus Effect Pedal

Try saying this one five times fast the Browne Amplification Sky Snake Hawk Attack Chorus. Born out of a drive to create an analog bucket brigade that always felt ever so out of reach, Browne went back to the drawing board to build upon all the things they loved from classic pedals to breathe new life into the iconic effect. In pursuit of a “perfect” chorus, Browne stakes their claim to chorus glory.

The Sky Snake Hawk Attack Chorus, or SSHAC, is a completely analog bucket brigade chorus effect. This drive toward analog purity results in a chorus that is deeply effective in achieving all the sweet, modulated tones you know you dream about. Its analog nature brings with it a number of particular quirks inherent to the design, like a natural warming and smoothing of the signal as you move closer to more drastic vibrato-esque tonalites. However you choose to use this analog circuitry, there’s a wealth of modulated sounds waiting for you from ’80s ballad chorus to Leslie rotary speaker tones to lovely, wavering, seasick vibrato. To whichever school of modulation you subscribe, there’s a setting in SSHAC waiting for you.

Assembling with a relatively simple set of controls the Sky Snake Hawk Attack Chorus takes off in streamlined fashion. Three dials Blend, Depth, and Speed, control the parameters and character of your chorus in an intuitive way. One of the starring players of the circuit is its Blend control, where the SSHAC allows for the mixing of affected and unaffected signal. Throughout the signal lays varying levels of modulation mixes, offering up a diverse spectrum of sounds. Roll your Blend control back for a more subtle modulation or crank it up for drastic motion-of-the-ocean movement.

Onboard, the SSHAC operates with two outputs. Wet and Dry outputs allow for the pedal to be run in stereo, where your required mono output is routed to Wet and your optional stereo output is routed to Dry. Take up these routing options and create vast spreads of wobbling waves to wash away your worries. The SSHAC is powered with standard nine volt DC power supplies and draws less than 75mA.

For you vibrato fiends and chorus chasers, Browne Amplification has a classic blue box of their own to fall in love with.
