Arion SCH-Z Stereo Chorus

The Arion SCH-Z Stereo Chorus is an analog chorus pedal, a compact effect that adds width and movement to a guitar sound. Arion describes it as "The heavy weight chorus. Extremely full & rich sound, with much wider frequency range than an ordinary chorus."¹ It belongs to the wider family of chorus pedals, and runs on 9V DC, center negative, drawing 12mA.

Stereo operation

The SCH-Z's distinguishing feature is its second output jack. Setting the mode switch to "stereo out 2" sends a stereo effect from the out 2 output jack, which RockBoard's PedalPedia describes as an advantage when running "with additional amplifier."¹ In practice, that means a player with two amps can feed both and hear the chorus spread across the stereo field rather than summed into one amp.

Power and setup

The pedal runs on 9V DC, center negative, and draws 12mA.¹ That modest draw means it sits comfortably on a pedalboard with a standard supply, alongside other chorus pedals or effects such as delay pedals and overdrive pedals.
