The Blueshift Chorus is a DIY adaptation of the BOSS DC-2 Dimension C pedal, designed to fit in a 125B enclosure, the same size as the original. The DC-2 is known for its unique spatial chorus effect, created by two clock+BBD pairs modulating the dry signal. The average between the two signals remains constant, while the space between them is modulated.

The original DC-2 was released in 1985 as a guitar pedal adaptation of the Roland SDD-320 Dimension D rack unit. The Dimension D was highly regarded for its stereo enhancement capabilities and was often used as an enhancer or sweetener in recording studios. The DC-2 faithfully recreated the Dimension D’s sound and functionality in a compact pedal format.

Since the release of the DC-2, there have been a few clones and adaptations of the pedal. The Behringer CC300 Chorus Space-C offered similar functionality to the DC-2 but at a much lower price point. However, the build quality and calibration of the Behringer pedal were not up to par with the original.

On the other hand, Fromel Electronics released the Lush (later renamed Seraph) in 2008, which was a highly customized and accurate clone of the DC-2. Each Seraph pedal was handmade with unique artwork and custom features. The Seraph Deluxe, an updated version, was released in 2018.

The Blueshift Chorus aims to provide a serious DIY adaptation of the DC-2, allowing enthusiasts to build their own clone of the legendary pedal. By fitting the circuit into a 125B enclosure, the Blueshift Chorus maintains the original pedal’s compact size.
