Universal Audio Brigade Chorus

UAD Brigade Chorus | Legendary Analog Chorus Effect Plugin

Recreate the 1976 Classic, Infusing Your Tracks with Warm, Flowing Soul

The UAD Brigade Chorus plugin perfectly recreates every circuit detail of the legendary pedal effect released in 1976 — the BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble. As the world's first chorus effect pedal, the CE-1 defined the sound of an era with its warm, rich, and spacious analog tone. From guitars and vocals to synthesizers, this UAD Brigade Chorus plugin is more than just a simulation; it's a precise recreation of a classic, allowing you to easily achieve that dreamy, vibrant texture and solve the common problem of overly dry, narrow-sounding audio in digital productions.

Whether you want to add delicate width to vocals, a subtle shimmer to drum overheads, or recreate the bass textures of The Cure and New Order, this effect plugin is up to the task. It faithfully restores the unique coloration and saturation produced by the original BOSS CE-1's Bucket-Brigade Device (BBD) circuit, delivering an analog chorus effect with more thickness and depth than typical digital choruses. Through Universal Audio's unparalleled modeling technology, the Brigade Chorus brings this indispensable classic tool to your digital audio workstation, incorporating modern stereo capabilities to make it the ultimate chorus solution combining vintage soul with modern application flexibility.
