Add '70s Analog Movement and Vibrato to Anything

The Brigade Chorus plug‑in emulates every inch of the legendary BOSS CE‑1 Chorus Ensemble* pedal introduced in 1976, giving you rich analog chorus and chewy vibrato that flatters your guitars, vocals, and synths with luxuriant, dreamy textures.

Get the Perfect Chorus for Any Source

Use the Brigade Chorus to subtly enhance or transform anything you run through it. Get wider vocals or add a gentle shimmer to drum overheads. On electric guitar and bass, the Brigade Chorus gives you the fat, unmistakable guitar sound of late ’70s Rush and the electric bass textures of the Cure and New Order. Or you can put Brigade on a Fender Rhodes patch à la Herbie Hancock.

Add Maximum Width and Depth

Whereas some chorus units sound unnatural and “tacked on,” the Brigade Chorus gets inside your sources with high‑caloric chorus thick enough to spoon out of your speakers. On stereo tracks and buses, Brigade’s classic mode can be used exactly as the original — left side dry, right side affected. But with the “plug‑in only” dual mode, Brigade acts as if two pedals are patched in — giving you an immersive left/right spread that must be heard to be believed.

What They Say

The Brigade Chorus Pedal plug-in is perfect for giving guitars that classic '80s vibrato. It can be a great stereo widener for synths, guitars, and even background vocals.

The original hardware is arguably the most luscious of all chorus pedals. Its warmth and liquid modulation are captured perfectly in the Brigade Chorus Pedal plug-in, including the way-cool overdriving of the pedal's front end.

Richard Chycki

Rush, Aerosmith, Dream Theater

The UAD Brigade Chorus plug-in is the go-to for any guitarist wanting to create that iconic ’80s guitar sound. Or you can add it to more distorted guitar sounds to easily reproduce many of the ‘90s grunge tones.

    Simple and perfect

    Now that I've been using the CE-1 as hardware for over 40 years (and still do), I'm making it a little easier for myself in the DAW, especially because the Brigade Chorus sounds exactly like the original.

    A useful tool !

    The Brigade Chorus plugin works well.....easily adjusts the pitch and also slightly delays the pitch and then mixed back into the original guitar signal... creating the sound of a several guitars simultaneously creating a wider, thicker and richer sound. A useful tool indeed !

    Very Nice

    Can’t really beat the value when it’s on sale. My favourite chorus plugin by far, very smooth and it sounds much more natural than most chorus plugins.
