STRYMON / Ola

STRYMON's Ola Chorus chorus effect is based on the dBucket algorithm and features a variety of beautiful modulations. It features three chorus types that fully utilize the processing power of the SHARC DSP. It features ultra-low noise, high-performance 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters. It also features mono left and right unbalanced jacks and a +4dB line input.

■ dBucket Technology
We've recreated the typical delay degradation, high-frequency attenuation, clock IC effects, and tonal changes due to input signal dynamics changes that are characteristic of BBD circuits. By fully utilizing the computing power of the SHARC DSP (ADSP-21375) chip solely for the chorus effect, we've achieved quality that exceeds that of studio equipment.

■ Three Chorus Types
Ola Chorus offers three chorus types: ""chorus,"" a traditional single-delay line; ""multi,"" a three-layer delay line popular in studio scenes; and ""vibrato,"" a digital reproduction of a vintage vibrato circuit. ■ ENV mode changes the effect sound depending on how hard you play.

chorus: The harder you play, the less powerful the effect sound (chorus effect), and softer playing increases the effect sound. This change smoothly follows changes in the signal level as the input signal decays.

multi: The harder you play, the more powerful the effect sound (chorus effect). In both modes, the maximum effect level is determined by the position of the MIX knob.

vibrato: The stronger you play, the faster the vibrato speed becomes, and softer playing decreases the speed. The maximum speed is determined by the SPEED knob setting.


■TONE and MIX controls
Equipped with a TONE control to adjust the high frequencies of the effect sound, and a MIX control to adjust the depth of the effect sound.


■Analog dry mix
The input signal (guitar signal, etc.) is not converted to analog and is mixed with the delay signal as is.
The analog signal path utilizes a high-end HiFi-level mixer circuit with an internally boosted analog power supply, ensuring the original sound is not compromised.

■Ultra-low noise, high-performance 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters

High-speed, high-performance DSP circuitry housed in a compact pedal.


■True bypass design with electronic relay switching


■Stereo IN, Stereo OUT
Mono unbalanced jacks are provided for the left and right channels. Not only can it be used as a stereo guitar effect, but it also supports +4dB signals, allowing it to be connected to a mixer insert and used like a rack-mounted effect.


■FAVORITE Footswitch
Press and hold the switch to save the control knob settings to memory. When the footswitch is turned on and the LED lights up, the previously saved parameters are recalled.


■Lightweight, rugged anodized aluminum chassis
