Browne Amplification released the SSHAC Sky Snake Hawk Attack Chorus, a compact analog bucket-brigade chorus, the maker's webstore lists it at $229.00¹². Guitar Pedal X reported the release on January 27, 2025, and gave the price as $199³.

The pedal has three controls: Speed, Depth / Intensity, and Blend, described as Wet Mix³. Guitar Pedal X reports that the circuit is built around a BBD, with the specific device unspecified³. According to the outlet, the design is intended to retain low end, avoid volume drop and allow faster rate speeds³. It reports that the controls cover slow chorus, Leslie-style rotary tones and vibrato³.

The SSHAC provides separate Dry and Wet outputs, which Guitar Pedal X describes as supporting a cleaner and more expansive sound³. The outlet notes that this is not true stereo, unlike the Hamstead Redwing³. It also compares the separate-output arrangement to the ThorpyFX Deep Oggin and several PastFX choruses³.

Browne's own description of the pedal's range, as quoted by Guitar Pedal X:

Guitar Pedal X reported that the SSHAC was available to order on the Browne Amps webstore at the time of its article, with international dealers expected shortly after³. The price differs between the two: $199 in the Guitar Pedal X report and $229.00 on the maker's store pages¹²³. The SSHAC sits alongside Browne's overdrive and fuzz models, including the Carbon, the Protein Dual Overdrive V3 and the T4 Fuzz¹.
