What Does a Chorus Pedal Do?


Summon authentic swirl and breakup





The I Get Around offers impressive rotary speaker effects, complete with tube-style grit for added character. Its Blend and Drive knobs balance your dry and wet signals and dial in the amount of overdrive, respectively. Its Mids Boost toggle switch pushes your mids for a cutting lead sound that sits perfectly in the mix. The I Get Around pedal's large Speed knob takes the effect from a classic slow warble to a full-blown sonic whirlpool on the fly. Its Slow-Fast footswitch selects between two rotation speeds. You also get a Brake feature that abruptly slows down the rotation effect to a dramatic stop, along with an adjustable Ramp feature that controls the stompbox's transition speed, enabling you to dial in everything from smooth, slow changes to rapid, stem-winding gnarliness.





Seamless integration with every rig





The Keeley I Get Around pedal puts authentic rotary speaker guitar sounds right at your feet, and it does it with style to spare. For starters, it sets the mood with an optional pulsing LED that reacts to the stompbox's rotary effect, adding an unforgettable, head-turning visual flair to your performance. It also includes stereo inputs and outputs, allowing you to dial up whopping swells of expansive sound with any guitar setup. Finally, switchable true- and buffered-bypass operation ensures pristine tone, no matter how complex your pedal chain might be. Best of all, the I Get Around pedal is much smaller ? not to mention lighter ? than a speaker cabinet!





Sweetwater's Exclusive The Beach Boys Studio Effects Collection





Of all America's musical exports, few artists can match the enduring influence and legacy of The Beach Boys. Launching May 24, 2024, exclusively on Disney , "The Beach Boys" documentary is an all-out celebration of how Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Carl Wilson, Mike Love, and Al Jardine forever altered the trajectory of popular music. The thrilling film traces the band's journey from a sun-bleached California surf group to their standing as a cultural "teenage symphony" touchstone. From Surfin' Safari to Pet Sounds and beyond, viewers will learn how The Beach Boys developed their signature sound, explored new horizons in the recording studio, and raced neck and neck with the Beatles' most acclaimed artistic achievements along the way.





Still, here at Sweetwater, the documentary is only half the story. Much to the pleasure of our gear-obsessed fanatics, the band reached out to resident pedal expert/historian Josh Scott of JHS to curate a set of pedals and effects sonically inspired by the group's most iconic records. Josh then recruited Chris Benson of Benson Amps and Robert Keeley of Keeley Electronics into the fold. The resulting The Beach Boys Studio Effects Collection comprises five Beach Boys-themed pedals that are only available at Sweetwater. From a splashy tube-driven spring reverb/optical tremolo unit to 12-string simulators and Wrecking Crew-inspired bass channel strips, this collection will take your tone straight back to the days when "Good Vibrations" and "Fun, Fun, Fun" ruled the airwaves!
