Authentic Vintage Sound
Experience the rich, warm tones of the classic Roland RE-501 chorus, recreated with the original MN-3007 Bucket Brigade chip for true analogue warmth and depth.
KEY FEATURES
The Pope Audio Dirty-C is a fully analogue chorus processor that authentically recreates the lush, lo-fi modulation of the legendary Roland RE-501 Chorus using the original MN-3007 Bucket Brigade chip, while introducing enhanced modern control and connectivity for today’s professional environments.
Classic Sound with Modern Control
By employing the same MN-3007 BBD chip found in the original RE-501, the Dirty-C delivers an unmistakable warmth and depth that defined the classic Roland chorus tone. Its analogue signal path preserves the sonic integrity of the input signal, while the inclusion of fully balanced inputs and outputs ensures low noise and compatibility with both studio and live setups. For musicians and producers needing direct instrument connectivity, an optional high-impedance unbalanced input allows guitars and synths to integrate seamlessly.
Versatile Modulation Modes
Three selectable modulation types – Vibrato, RE501, and Ring Mod – provide a range of textures from subtle, characterful movement to more experimental sound design possibilities. Each mode introduces a slightly different modulation response, expanding the creative range beyond the capabilities of the vintage unit. The Dirty-C also offers dedicated rate and depth controls for precise shaping of modulation speed and intensity, alongside a mix blend control to balance wet and dry signals for perfect tonal integration.
Built for Reliability and Character
Hand-built in the UK, the Dirty-C combines authentic analogue engineering with robust construction, designed for consistent performance and long-term reliability. Its design pays tribute to the sonic charm of vintage hardware while ensuring a cleaner, quieter, and more flexible experience in the studio or on stage.
