Fender Bubbler Chorus Effects Pedal Specification

The Fender Bubbler Chorus Effects Pedal is a versatile and dynamic modulation tool designed for musicians seeking rich, textured soundscapes. It features an all-analog signal path, delivering warm, organic tones that capture the essence of classic chorus effects while offering modern flexibility. The pedal is equipped with independent rate and depth controls for both chorus and vibrato, enabling a wide range of sonic possibilities from subtle shimmers to deep, swirling modulations. A unique wave toggle switch allows players to choose between sine and triangle waveforms, tailoring the effect's character to suit different musical styles.

Additionally, the Bubbler Chorus includes a tap tempo footswitch, providing real-time control over modulation speed, ensuring synchronicity with the music. The pedal also features a dynamic sensitivity control, which adjusts the modulation rate based on the input signal’s strength, allowing for expressive, touch-sensitive performances. Constructed with a rugged anodized aluminum chassis, the pedal is built to withstand the rigors of live performance while maintaining reliability and durability.

True bypass switching ensures that the guitar's signal remains pure and uncolored when the effect is disengaged. The pedal operates on a standard 9V power supply, making it compatible with most pedalboard configurations. With its combination of vintage-inspired sound and contemporary functionality, the Fender Bubbler Chorus Effects Pedal is an excellent choice for musicians looking to enhance their tonal palette with lush, immersive modulation effects.
