XVive Audio V8 Chorus Vibrato Micro Pedal

Chorus

The XVive Audio V8 Chorus Vibrato Micro Pedal is a compact modulation pedal that produces a chorus effect, vibrato, or a blend of both1. That makes it a two-in-one box: chorus for thickening a sound, and vibrato for a pitch-wobble effect of the kind covered on the vibrato pedals page, with the two available together.

It is built as a micro pedal, with an all-metal housing in a compact size, and XVive states it was designed in the U.S.1. For players squeezing a chorus onto a crowded board, the small footprint is the main practical point of the format.

What it does

The V8 covers three sounds from one circuit:

  • Chorus, the doubled, detuned thickening effect
  • Vibrato, pitch modulation on its own
  • A blend of both, chorus and vibrato together

Vintage Guitar reported the launch in November 2014, describing the pedal as producing "a chorus effect, vibrato, or a blend of both"1. XVive directs players to www.xviveaudio.com for more on the pedal1.

Questions

What does the XVive Audio V8 do?

It produces a chorus effect, vibrato, or a blend of both, so one small pedal can cover both modulation sounds. Chorus thickens the signal with a detuned duplicate, while vibrato bends the pitch itself. Vintage Guitar reported the pedal was designed in the U.S. with an all-metal housing in a compact size.
