Reviews

With three different stereo depth levels and three modulation types, the TriceraChorus, like its namesake, really is a three-horned beast.

The TriceraChorus is a very powerful modulation pedal and could be the ultimate chorus effect for a lot of people. It contains a wide range of BBD-inspired modulation effects which are highly adjustable for creating the perfect effect.

MusicTech

Whether your setup for chorusing needs to be simple or complex, the Eventide TriceraChorus doesn’t disappoint in its trifecta of rich, deep, and lush chorused modulations that sound downright panoramic.
