What makes the Aurelius Tri-voice Chorus Pedal unique?

The EarthQuaker Devices Aurelius Tri-voice Chorus Pedal stands out with its three distinct, digitally-voiced modulation effects: classic Chorus/Flanger, swirling Vibrato, and dynamic Rotary. This versatility allows you to dial in everything from subtle shimmer and lush, watery textures to deep, psychedelic warbles and authentic rotary speaker sounds. It's designed to inspire creativity across various genres, offering a wide spectrum of modulation for your guitar or synth.

How do I save and recall presets on the Aurelius pedal?

The Aurelius pedal features 6 onboard presets, making it easy to save and recall your favorite sounds. To save a preset, simply dial in your desired settings, then press and hold the footswitch until the LED flashes. To recall a preset, tap the footswitch to cycle through your saved sounds. This allows for quick access to your custom tones during live performances or studio sessions.

Can I control the Aurelius pedal with an expression pedal or CV?

Yes, the Aurelius Tri-voice Chorus Pedal offers an expression pedal/CV input, allowing for dynamic external control over various parameters. You can connect a standard expression pedal or a Control Voltage (CV) source to manipulate effects like the modulation rate or depth in real-time. This feature provides enhanced expressive capabilities, letting you sweep through sounds or integrate the pedal seamlessly into a larger modular setup.

What kind of bypass does the Aurelius pedal use?

The Aurelius pedal utilizes relay-based true bypass, ensuring your guitar's signal remains pristine when the effect is disengaged. This means your tone passes through without any coloration or signal degradation. It also offers flexible bypass switching, allowing you to choose between standard latching operation (press once for on, press again for off) or momentary operation (effect is active only while the footswitch is held down).

What power supply does the Aurelius pedal require?

The EarthQuaker Devices Aurelius Tri-voice Chorus Pedal requires a standard 9V DC power supply with a center-negative barrel connector, drawing 75mA of current. It's important to use a dedicated, isolated power supply to ensure optimal performance and avoid unwanted noise. Please note that the power supply is sold separately, and Sweetwater Sales Engineers can help you find the right one for your setup.

Get to know them!

The Aurelius tri-voice chorus pairs EarthQuaker Device’s savvy circuitry skills with a stunning array of classic and modern chorus tones. And it’s matched with a user-friendly preset system for easy recall of your favorite tones! Aurelius is a meticulously refined digital unit based on one of the most influential vintage choruses ever produced, but it’s hardly a 1-to-1 copy. Aurelius’ three modes and vibrant expression pedal options allow everything from subtle, classic chorus to exaggerated and enhanced tones ranging from sea-sick warble and true vibrato to feedback-laden flangers and dual-modulation rotary tones. In true EarthQuaker fashion, the Aurelius gives true bang for your buck and does a lot without requiring a Ph.D. in manual studies. Give your modulation mindset a fresh jump-start with the powerful EarthQuaker Aurelius chorus from Sweetwater!

Mode V: chorus/vibrato

Mode V is a traditional chorus powered by triangle LFO modulation. Turning the balance control clockwise reduces the dry signal while increasing pitch modulation levels. At max settings, Mode V becomes a pristine vibrato with extreme pitch-shifting presence.

Mode C: chorus/flanger

Mode C explores chorus and flanger together, treating them as close cousins within the modulation gang. Mode C pairs sine wave LFO modulation with noticeably slower and warmer rates than vibrato mode. Adjusting Aurelius’ width control in Mode C drastically changes the chorus/flanger interplay. Pushing the width past noon will introduce progressively more feedback for a thicker, more prominent flanger. Mode C is exceptionally versatile and fit for everything from jangly Britpop to crushing high-gain so long as you dial in the mix balance with care.

Mode R: rotary chorus

When maximum modulation is your goal, Mode R is the perfect pick. This rotary chorus effect modulates both amplitude and frequency. EQD studied genuine rotary chorus hardware dating back to the 1940s to ensure a motion-packed doppler effect that’s digitally exaggerated for easy use with guitar, bass, or your instrument of choice. Mode R’s key parameter is width: lower settings bring mids and lows (a true rotary’s woofer frequencies) to the fore. In contrast, higher width settings emphasize treble typically associated with a hardware rotary speaker’s horn.

Expression control for any parameter

You can quickly map width, rate, and balance parameters to the expression pedal for an exponential increase in tones onboard. Try mapping the rate to the expression pedal in vibrato mode for instant switching between chorus and heavy vibrato, or map it to the balance control for modulated fade-ins that take soft or ambient playing to new heights!

Six preset banks

The Aurelius would be another fine entry into the EarthQuaker canon by itself, but players here at Sweetwater were beyond excited to see EQD’s inclusion of six preset banks. Preset banks make this a killer one-and-done deluxe chorus for live or studio use. Aurelius’ stoic preset system is easy to navigate on the fly. The front panel’s center LED illuminates red for preset mode and green for live. You can switch modes by holding Aurelius’ footswitch while the pedal is engaged or manually use the save/recall button to toggle between presets and live settings.
