Flatley Pedals Valkyrie Vintage Chorus

The Flatley Pedals Valkyrie Vintage Chorus is an analog modulation pedal from the British company's Platinum Range, its take on the vintage chorus and flanger pedals of the 1980s. Delicious Audio's Paolo De Gregorio describes it as "improved with a wider depth and sonic range" than the vintage pedals that inspired it¹.

What it does

The Valkyrie covers classic chorus territory and reaches beyond it. With the Depth and Speed knobs set at 50%, De Gregorio writes, "You'll find a classic chorus sound with Depth and Speed knob set at 50%, while faster rates and lower depth will deliver" tones reminiscent of Leslie and Uni-Vibe style modulation¹. Players looking for where the Valkyrie sits among modulation effects can compare it with the wider families of Chorus Pedals and Flanger Pedals.

The Depth control works unusually: at zero it applies modulation without pitch shifting, and higher settings increase the pitch shifting¹. The LFO, the low frequency oscillator that drives the modulation, is a fixed triangle wave¹.

Design and finish

The enclosure is hand painted in-house, which De Gregorio notes comes "with the nice addition of sparkling elements and the blue halo light"¹.
