Chorus Effects for the Electric Guitar
Hi, my name is Gary Schutt. We’re talking about guitar effects, right now we’re talking about an effect called the chorus. I will be using my trusty Barrage V amp for this demonstration. What a chorus is is it takes your signal and kind of duplicates it, doubles it sound like there’s somebody else playing exactly what you’re playing. So here’s my clean sound and when I put a chorus on it, it has a nice little shimmery effect. If I was to take the effects level and turn it all the way to wet, so that we would only hear the chorus effect and not my dry signal, you would hear…let me make that a little wider so you can hear exactly what it does, that’s my chorus signal. Let’s make it faster. If I start to bring my dry signal mix back in, you can hear it mix itself, let’s make that a little bit more realistic feeling. And there we go.
