Browne Amplification SSHAC (Sky Snake Hawk Attack Chorus)

The Return of the Lush, No-Compromise Analog Chorus

The hunt for a chorus pedal that balances 1980s lushness with modern transparent headroom usually ends in compromise. The Browne Amplification SSHAC (Sky Snake Hawk Attack Chorus) is the outlier that breaks that pattern. Designed by Dave Brown to satisfy the most demanding ears, the SSHAC is an analog bucket-brigade (BBD) masterpiece that refuses to get lost in the mix.

Emotionally Inspired, Technically Refined For the player driven by feel, the SSHAC offers a wide palette of "liquid" textures—moving from a subtle, atmospheric shimmer to a deep, haunting vibrato that adds a three-dimensional character to your signal. For the player driven by specs, the SSHAC solves the two biggest headaches of vintage modulation: it was engineered for full low-end retention and zero volume drop when engaged. Your fundamental tone remains weighted and consistent, no matter how deep the modulation goes.

Stereo Versatility & Signal Integrity The SSHAC is built for the sophisticated signal chain, featuring dedicated Wet and Dry outputs:

• The Wet Output: Passes your signal through the premium analog BBD circuit for pure, modulated bliss.

• The Dry Output: Pulled directly from a high-quality input buffer stage, ensuring your unaffected signal stays crystal clear. Running these in stereo allows for everything from a subtle, wide spatial spread to a "sea-sick" onslaught of the senses.

Why the SSHAC Belongs on Your Board:

• Expanded Rate Range: Access faster "Rate" speeds than traditional chorus pedals, pushing into Leslie-style warbles and rapid-fire vibrato.

• Premium Internal Buffer: Keeps your signal strong and bright, even through long cable runs or complex pedalboards.

• Bulletproof Build: Hand-wired precision designed to survive the road and excel in the studio.

The Controls:

• Speed: Controls the LFO rate. Capable of slow, slithering sweeps ("The Snake") to predatory, rapid pulses ("The Hawk").

• Depth: Adjusts the width of the modulation, from a barely-there shimmer to deep, pitch-shifting dives.

• Tone: A specialized filter to darken the repeats for a vintage "lo-fi" feel or brighten them for high-fidelity clarity.

• Mix: Expertly blend your dry and wet signals to find the perfect "seat" in your overall soundscape.
