Arion SFC-1 Fat Chorus. The legend. The Arion pedal with the highest collector's value and rarest.
Made in Japan in the 80s.
Arion SCH-1 chorus pedals have long been popular for their beautiful clean, shimmering, and fat sound. Many big names use them (Michael Landau, Scott Henderson, etc.).
In this case, the Fat Chorus is a factory-modified SCH-1 pedal.
It retains the brilliant modulation characteristics, but in a slightly misleading way, the tone pot works differently here than in the base version.
On one jack output: In the fully unwound state, it produces the SCH-1 chorus sound, but when turning the potentiometer back, first there is a signal level boost, then a bass boost.
On the other jack output: In the fully unwound state, it produces the SCH-1 chorus sound, but when turning the potentiometer back, there is only a bass boost.
90% of the Fat Chorus pedals on the market are fakes. They usually transplant the circuitry of the SCH-1 or the current Sri Lanka-made SCH-Z series into their housing.
This pedal is completely original. The whole thing has been thoroughly checked. First version Fat Chorus, with a large Toshiba chip. The sound is fantastic, the operation is completely noiseless. It's practically a boost chorus, similar to Tech 21 pedals, but it predates them by decades. It's excellent for bass guitar due to its capabilities.
