Designed for the Modern Studio
The Pope Audio Dirty-DC is essentially the Dirty-C in a standalone desktop unit. It features the exact same circuit/sound and controls with an external 24 VDC power supply. Utilizing an original BBD MN-3007 chip, (the same chip used in the original RE-501 chorus), the Dirty-DC perfectly replicates the lush, lo-fi sound of the original, albeit in a much smaller (and more affordable) package. It features pseudo-stereo L&R outputs like the RE501 (really a full wet against a full dry).
An instrument output allows you to use the Dirty-DC in a guitar pedal chain. Use as a reamp output if the balanced line input is chosen. It also features a footswitch input for “IN/OUT” control and an expression pedal input for the modulation Speed control.

"The Dirty C is arguably the best-sounding chorus that I’ve heard; the effect always becomes a part of the sound rather than seeming to have been ‘stuck on’ to the source"
