Alex Lifeson's Lerxst Amplification have announced the release of the Analog Kid Chorus Pedal, a powerful and expressive modulation pedal designed to capture the unmistakable chorus textures that defined a generation of iconic recordings. Drawing inspiration from the lush tones heard across Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, and Signals, the Analog Kid delivers everything from shimmering cleans to expansive, swirling modulation, while opening the door to an entirely new sonic territory. From the press release:
Built for the Stage, Designed for Exploration
With two LFO circuits, accessed with each footswitch, the Analog Kid offers real-time control over your modulation landscape enabling players to build, layer, and shift textures on the fly. The pedal is designed to integrate seamlessly into modern rigs while maintaining clarity and low noise performance. Run it in stereo to unlock a massive, three-dimensional spread that transforms your tone from centered to cinematic.
● Mono or Stereo operation
● Top-mounted I/O for pedalboard efficiency
● Optimized for isolated 9V DC power (150mA)Dual LFO Architecture - Twice the Movement, Infinite Possibilities
At the heart of the Analog Kid is a true dual-LFO chorus engine, giving players unprecedented control over modulation depth, rate, and movement.
● Independent or Master Rate Modes for dual LFO control
● Independent Depth Controls for each modulation circuit
● Stereo Output Capability for wide, dimensional soundscapes
● Chorus and Vibrato Modes for expanded tonal range
● Selectable LFO Direction for unique modulation behaviorPlayers can run both modulation circuits independently for complex, evolving textures, or sync them together for classic, cohesive chorus tones.
The Sound of a Lifelong Tone Journey
Throughout his career, Alex Lifeson has relied on a wide range of modulation tools, often combining multiple chorus units to achieve his signature sound. The Analog Kid distills that experience into a single, highly flexible pedal that captures the essence of those tones while pushing beyond their limitations. This isn't a one-sound chorus, it's a platform for exploration.
The pedal is available now exclusively through the Reverb Lerxst store.
