Chorus and tremolo in the same pedal

Sign in to disble this ad
You know, I think that having a chorus and a tremolo effect in the same pedal would be pretty convenient. My ideal effect like that would have individual depth and speed controls for each effect, and a knob that can let you blend between the two effects. Fully clockwise, you get the tremolo effect. Fully counterclockwise, you get the chorus effect. Anything between can give some pretty cool Leslie-style effects.

If this kind of effect exists, please tell me! That would be cool if I had that effects pedal in my board.

why not get both separate?

other than the blending it sounds pretty standard

I have this old Guyatone chorus/flanger/vibrato
it's the king of my pedalboard, best sounding pedal I have so far, but unfortunately you can blend the 3 effects...

Pretty sure you'll have to get 2 pedals but the Analogman Mini Chorus does a passable trem sound just not with chorus as the same time.

There is a Danelectro Wasabi pedal with them both in.

Tremolo and chorus are completely different effects.
It makes no sense grouping them into a single unit because it require 2 circuits.

If there's a will, there's a way. It's probably been done.

+1

What you'll see is Chorus/Vibrato, Chorus/Flanger, or even Chorus/Flanger/Vibrato.

The reason why is because they're all based on a similar circuit, but with different delay times and other smaller changes.

Vibrato is an effect that changes the pitch of the note. Tremolo, on the other hand, changes volume. Most people mix the two up.

A combo pedal like that would require two separate circuits - one for chorus, one for tremolo. It makes more sense to sell those two separately. I'd suggest getting two small chorus and tremolo pedals, if space is an issue.

Pigtronix Echolution. I just ordered one and it does both as well as an amazing array of delay sounds. Expensive but I think it'll be worth it. I'll post a review after I get it.

The Wasabi, right?

Now, that begs the next question... is it any good?

IMO, those two effects are still best kept separate - I'm picky about how both of those should sound, and I'm a strong believer that having decent and separate controls is a must in that circumstance.
