Product Detail
The Warm Audio WA-C1 is an outstanding reproduction of a legendary all - analog chorus and vibrato pedal. It's well - known for its ability to generate rich, lush modulation tones. With a premium MN3007 Xvive Bucket Brigade Device (BBD) chip, it recreates the warm and deep sound of the original. Musicians can precisely adjust the modulation settings using the dedicated rate and depth controls, ranging from gentle textures to wild wobbles. This pedal is extremely versatile, making it a top choice for guitarists and keyboardists aiming for that classic 70s - 80s tone. It comes with enhanced headroom and a modern touch for today's players. The WA-C1 features a high - quality build and a true analog signal path, bringing the authentic sound of the original to modern musicians. It has separate chorus and vibrato sections, offering a wide variety of modulation effects from subtle vibrato to swirling chorus sounds. A flashing LED indicates the active effect and shows the modulation rate, ensuring a smooth performance. Whether you're into the iconic sounds of The Police, Queen, or the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the WA-C1 adds that desired analog character to your setup. Key features include a faithful classic analog design, an MN3007 Xvive BBD chip for an authentic tone, dedicated rate and depth controls, a 100% analog preamp for a rich sound, a flashing LED for rate feedback, and suitability for electric guitar and keys. Technical specs: It's a 100% analog stereo chorus and vibrato pedal with depth and rate controls and selectable impedance. Controls include high/low input sensitivity, preamp level, chorus and vibrato depth and rate, effect on/off, chorus/vibrato switch, and hi - Z on/off. It has 1 input and 2 outputs, with dimensions of W: 6.5”, H: 3.8”, D: 1.6” and weighs 1.9 lbs. Internally, it has 5 ICs (including 3 Texas Instruments Premium Audio Op Amps), 11 discrete transistors, 3 FETs, 19 diodes, 2 MOSFETs, and an Xvive MN3007 BBD Chip Recreation. Power consumption is 800mW; 90mA at 9V with vintage - correct internal voltage operation via a dual DC - DC voltage converter. Input sensitivity is 80mV / 10mV, and output level is 315mV.
Using the Warm Audio WA - C1 is easy. First, connect your instrument to the input jack and your amplifier or audio system to the output jacks. You can select between high and low input sensitivity based on your instrument's output. Adjust the preamp level to get the right volume. Use the dedicated rate and depth controls for both chorus and vibrato to dial in the exact modulation effect you want. Flip the chorus/vibrato switch to choose the effect type. The hi - Z on/off switch can be used to optimize the impedance for different setups. When using the pedal, make sure it's placed on a stable surface. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, moisture, or dust. For maintenance, keep it clean by gently wiping it with a dry cloth. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place. Check the power supply regularly to ensure it's providing the correct voltage, as incorrect power can affect the pedal's performance.
