Arion ACH -1 Stero Chorus - that has been rehoused for true bypass. Excellent condition - as new, never gigged. The Arion SCH-1 is a legendary analog chorus pedal from the 1980s, highly sought after for its lush modulation and "faux-Leslie" rotary speaker tones. Because the original units were built with relatively fragile plastic housings and buffered bypass circuits that can "suck" tone, many owners choose to have them rehoused in durable metal enclosures with modern upgrades. Benefits of Rehousing: Rehousing a vintage Arion SCH-1 typically transforms it into a road-worthy, "boutique-quality" pedal. Common improvements include: Durability: Moving the internal BBD (Bucket Brigade Device) circuitry into a sturdy metal enclosure (often Hammond-style) to prevent damage from heavy use.True Bypass: Installing a 3PDT footswitch ensures that the pedal does not color your signal when it is turned off.Upgraded Components: Replacing the original plastic potentiometers and jacks with high-quality metal pots and Neutrik-style jacks for improved reliability and sound quality.Enhanced Features: Some professional rehouses add a bright LED, a standard 9V DC power jack, or even "vibe" mods for deeper modulation. The Arion ACH-1 (often branded Aria) is a vintage analog stereo chorus pedal produced in Japan between 1979 and 1983. Known for its warm, lush modulation, it is frequently compared to the classic Boss CE-2 but offers an additional Level control for increased flexibility. Key Features and Specifications: The ACH-1 is part of the "BIGFOOT" line of pedals and is celebrated for its authentic 1980s analog circuitry. Controls: Features three knobs—Rate, Depth, and Level (or Intensity)—allowing for more precise output adjustments than many contemporary two-knob chorus pedals.Stereo Output: Includes two output jacks, providing a wide, immersive soundstage by inverting the phase at the second output.Construction: Housed in a durable plastic casing with a metal baseplate; while some vintage plastic pedals can be fragile, many users find these units have held up well over decades.Power: Operates on a standard 9V battery or a center-negative 9V DC power supply, consuming approximately 16mA of power. Performance and SoundReviewers often describe the ACH-1 as an "under-the-radar gem" with a smooth, musical character. Tonal Character: According to Vanborn Vintage Guitars, it delivers a slightly smoother or more subdued modulation than the Boss CE-2.Versatility: It can produce everything from subtle shimmering textures to deep, "evil carnival" chorus effects, and is even capable of faux-rotary (Leslie) tones at higher settings.Application: While primarily used for electric guitar, it is also effective for bass, as it maintains low-end clarity while adding rich modulation.
