Notes: The Aurelius is not your run of the mill chorus pedal. This compact, beautifully cased wonder is a three mode chorus with six programmable presets and an expression control. Inspired by the 1970s CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedal, this digital unit has been tirelessly tweaked and fine-tuned to give you an all-encompassing chorus and vibrato experience like nothing else.
Choose from Vibrato, Chorus and Rotary mode and manipulate their Width, Rate and Balance to achieve your ideal sound. Shift seamlessly from one mode to another to cop a blend that is all your own. Just one simple tap of the Preset (Save/Recall) and you can summon up to six settings of your choosing at will.
Welcome, fellow frequency chaser! Kudos to you for referring to the official manual of this majestic Device rather than diving into its powers blindly. Or equally likely, traveling down a YouTube pedal demo rabbit hole where you eventually find yourself watching a tutorial on how to make gnocchi from scratch at 3am. You're about to embark on a magical journey with this mighty Aurelius pedal in front of you.
You see, this is not simply your run of the mill chorus pedal. This compact, beautifully cased wonder is a three-mode chorus with six programmable presets and an expression control. Choose from Vibrato (V) Mode, Chorus (C) Mode, and Rotary (R) Mode and manipulate their Width, Rate, and Balance to achieve your ideal sound. Shift seamlessly from one mode to another to cop a blend that is all your own. Just one simple tap of the Preset ("Save/Recall") switch and you can summon up to six settings of your choosing at will.
Feeling pretty powerful now, aren't you?
Inspired by the 1970s CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedal, this digital unit has been tirelessly tweaked and fine-tuned to give you an all-encompassing chorus and vibrato experience like nothing else. Inspiration the 1940s and the advent of the Leslie speaker to boldly capture the sound of its rotating baffle system for the Rotary mode. Earthquaker studied the way that the horn and the rotor moved on Leslie speakers and emulated the phasing and speeds of the low frequency oscillator, but they exaggerated the hell out of them to make it sonically suitable for guitar, bass or your instrument of choice.
And by popular demand, like many Earthquaker pedals, this is equipped with an expression control so you can use any TRS expression pedal to manipulate the Width, Rate or Balance. Put it in the Vibrato mode and you'll have a really subtle chorus with a seasick vibrato and alternate quickly between the two seamlessly. And that's only just one mode. The possibilities are endless. Think about it.
This compact world of chorus in a box will fit on any pedalboard and is so intuitive and easy to use that you most likely won't have to refer to this manual ever again.
Each and every Aurelius is hand crafted in Akron, Ohio, USA and is inspected by the spirit of speaker innovator Donald Leslie.

Flexi-Switchr Technology
This device features Flexi-Switchr Technology! This relay-based, true bypass switching style allows you to simultaneously use momentary and latching style switching.
For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass.
For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you'd like to use the effect. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed.
Since the switching is relay based, it requires power to pass signal.
Power
This device takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
