Description

The JHS Pedals Emperor V2 Analog Chorus & Vibrato w/Tap Tempo is an incredibly versatile modulation pedal that goes far beyond what the name suggests. It features a true bucket brigade chipset for authentic analogue tones and combines that with a range of tone shaping potential. The Emperor V2 has 3 wave-types and full tempo control for a multitude of modulation sounds. The tempo is adjusted by dial controls as well as a tap-tempo footswitch control letting you get the exact effect speed you require. The tempo can also be controlled remotely via an expression pedal. The Emperor V2 has a TRS stereo output that lets you adapt the pedal to a stereo rig while the expression pedal input lets you control and sync the tempo externally. Whether you choose to create warm modulation sounds crystal clear and piercing tones or you use an external expression pedal to create realistic rotary speaker sounds on a blues gig the Emperor can do it all.

Chorus Pedals

Chorus mixes the dry signal with one or more short, continuously modulated delays. The small pitch and timing movement between the paths creates width, shimmer and the impression of several instruments playing together. Rate controls the modulation speed, depth controls its excursion, and delay or mix settings determine whether the result is subtle thickening, a liquid wobble or a broad stereo image.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Analogue

Analogue equipment uses continuous electrical signals rather than digital processing to shape and produce sound. In music gear, analogue circuits are found in pedals, amplifiers, and effects that rely on physical components such as transistors, valves, resistors, and capacitors.

Analogue sound is often described as warm, organic, and responsive, with natural saturation and subtle imperfections that react to playing dynamics. It is valued for its feel and character, particularly in overdrive, fuzz, modulation, and classic effects where musical interaction is more important than precision.

Chorus

Chorus is a modulation effect that thickens and widens a sound by duplicating the signal, slightly detuning it, and modulating its pitch over time. This creates the impression of multiple instruments playing together, resulting in a rich, shimmering, and spacious tone.

It is commonly used on guitar, bass, and keyboards to add movement and depth, working especially well with clean or lightly driven sounds. Chorus became strongly associated with 1980s music but remains widely used across pop, rock, ambient, and modern styles for its ability to make a sound feel fuller and more animated.

Vibrato

Vibrato is an effect that creates a subtle or pronounced pitch variation by modulating the signal up and down over time. Unlike chorus or tremolo, vibrato affects pitch only, producing a wavering or shimmering sound without changing volume.

It is used to add movement, expression, and a sense of warmth to a sound, working especially well on sustained notes and chords. Vibrato can range from gentle and musical to bold and psychedelic, and is commonly found in vintage amplifiers, modulation pedals, and classic studio effects.
