It is the second digital box in Ola Englund's CHUG line, and the thinking behind it is refreshingly plain: instead of three pedals, three power draws and three sets of patch leads eating your board, you get six knobs, two ins, two outs and no menus to dig through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree effects, each with its own mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDOUBLE MIX blends in a light modulation that fattens single notes, so a line reads as though a second guitar is tracking it; wind the knob to its limit and it steps over into chorus. ECHO TIME and ECHO REPEATS cover everything from a tight slap-back to a full two seconds of delay, and the repeats are filtered so they sit behind the dry signal rather than smearing across it. REVERB SIZE morphs the room from a small booth up to a hall, with REVERB MIX deciding how much of that space arrives with you. Because every effect carries its own mix control, you set the balance by hand instead of accepting a preset's idea of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSplit mode: front of amp and effects loop at once\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook along the input side and the plan becomes obvious — IN 1 is stamped DOUBLER, IN 2 is stamped ECHO-VERB, and the pair are bracketed SPLIT MODE. Run it conventionally and the whole pedal sits in front of your amp, mono or stereo, guitar into IN 1 and one or both outputs away to the amp. Or split it the way Ola wires his own rig: guitar into IN 1 with OUT 1 feeding the amp input so only the doubler hits the preamp, then IN 2 and OUT 2 patched into the effects loop so the echo and reverb land after the gain stage, where they stay clear instead of turning to mud. Two 1\/4\" inputs, two 1\/4\" outputs, no adaptors required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTap tempo and pedalboard manners\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 3.5 mm TAP jack on the rear panel takes any non-latching footswitch — Solar have tested the Boss FS5U and Harley Benton's tap switch — so the echo can be set against the song on stage rather than guessed at between numbers. The 3.5 mm to 1\/4\" cable is in the box; the switch is not. The blue anodised chassis measures 120 x 70 mm, an ordinary slot on a pedalboard, and it runs on standard 9V DC through a 5.33 mm centre-negative barrel, drawing 180 mA from a supply rated at 200 mA or better. There is no battery compartment, buffered bypass keeps long cable runs honest, and a USB-C port sits on the rear panel beside the power and tap jacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSOLAR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCHUG SOLO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCHUG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDoubler, echo and reverb multi-effects pedal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eEffects\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDoubler, Echo, Reverb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eControls\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReverb Size, Echo Time, Echo Repeats, Reverb Mix, Echo Mix, Double Mix\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eEcho Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlap-back to 2 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eRouting Modes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMono, stereo or split\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eInputs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 1\/4\" (IN 1 Doubler, IN 2 Echo-Verb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eOutputs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 1\/4\" (OUT 1, OUT 2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eTap Tempo\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 mm TS jack for a non-latching footswitch (switch not included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eTested Footswitches\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoss FS5U, Harley Benton Tap Tempo Switch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBypass\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuffered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 MΩ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eOutput Impedance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200 Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eOutput Level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.5 dBu \/ 12.3 dBV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9V DC, 5.33 mm barrel, centre-negative\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eCurrent Draw\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180 mA (200 mA minimum supply)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBattery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot supported\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eData Port\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB-C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120 x 70 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue anodised\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 mm to 1\/4\" cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolar CPS9V500, sold separately\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Solar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52619883905314,"sku":"666111","price":439.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0066\/2818\/files\/solar-chug-solo-1-top__09075.1789177574.1280.1280.png?v=1790234818","url":"https:\/\/guitar.com.au\/products\/solar-chug-solo-3-in-1-doubler-echo-and-reverb-pedal","provider":"Guitar World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
