Fromel Electronics Seraph Deluxe Stereo Chorus Analog Boutique Effects Pedal Near Mint

Up for sale, a Fromel Electronics Seraph Deluxe Stereo Chorus in near mint condition. The Seraph Deluxe is a true stereo in/out analog dimensional chorus modeled after the famous Roland SDD-320 Dimension D which was introduced in 1979. Used extensively by Brian Eno, Talking Heads, Kate Bush, U2, and countless others, the Dimension D was a defining sound of the 80’s. The original unit took up two rack spaces and had 4 preset buttons, while in 1985 Boss released the DC-2, a compact dimensional chorus in pedal form with the same 4 preset buttons, yet lacking some of the features of the SDD-320 such as line level and stereo in.Over the last decade, Fromel has been working on this circuit and exploring the possibilities it can offer, while keeping the size pedalboard friendly. The presets are slight variations on the classic, with a very slow rate and very deep depth. In addition to the 4 classic modes, the presets can be mixed and matched to make a total of 8 variations. There is also a Manual mode that allows for precise setting of the Rate and Depth, allowing for a very fast rate and shallow depth, dipping into Leslie territory. What makes this chorus truly unique is the dual delay lines that allow for a Through Zero Flange effect when the dry signal is cut. Finally, by cutting one of the delay lines and the dry signal, a true pitch vibrato is produced.The Seraph Deluxe uses modern delay chips for a bright and clear effect. The unit can take line level like a champ with no clipping, and can be used in a pro-audio recording or live setup as an insert, or with keyboards and other instruments that use a line level out.
