Your Effects Pedal Usage : Chorus ?

[LowDown Hal]

I thought maybe we could discuss one effect at a time?


What is your equipment chain?


What Chorus Pedal do you use?


When do you use it?
for example during which part of which tune?

At what settings?

etc.

[Thunderscreech]

I use mine for breaks in between monstrous walls of loud thunderous roaring and feedback, usually with clean or mildly dirty bass, and with a subtle setting that gives a little modulation to my sound.
The pedal is a Digitech Bass Multi Chorus.

I’ve had a Boss bass chorus for years. It’s set up fairly subtle. I use it on slow tunes when I’m in the upper register.

I used to use chorus a lot more, but now I typically only use it on the 70's and 80's cover tunes we play. I don't use any effects on the originals, or blusier stuff...well, I take that back...I've started using a VT Bass pedal on more of the original and bluesy stuff...to give it just a bit more grind...

Current Chorus pedal of choice - TC Electronic SCF

[Revmizery]

I use the chorus a lot during clean guitar parts to add just a little something, also works wonders when paired with my 8-string it sounds like a wall of sound on its own. The setting below give a nice chorus to the top end of my sound while keeping the low end a little cleaner and more clear.

I use a Boss CE-5 with the settings
E. Level: 3 o'clock
Rate: 2 o'clock
Depth: 1 o'clock
Bass: 8-9 o'clock
Treble: 3 o'clock

Peter Hook. Nuff said.

I use mine for he slower stuff we play at church. It helps to fill up the sound when I am playing long notes. I use an analogue man standard chorus with the toggle deep mod. My setting varry between 40% and 60% on both depth and rate. The toggle set to the deep setting.

I use chorus in the country band during slow balladry to keep me from getting bored

[kevteop]

I used to used chorus with fretless to sound deliberately cheesy and '80s. I don't do it any more because I got scared that I was the only person who knew I was being ironic.

Mr. BassFuzz himself in a country band???

What's next....dogs and cats living together?

[Jimbob Jones]

I use mine to add depth to synth sweeps, for playing chords/arpeggios higher up on the neck, and in conjunction with a volume pedal to sound like a synth pad. (it takes practice, but it sounds great)

I also use a Bass Multichorus.

Yeah, I know. It's one of those things that just happened. I need the experience in patience and not overplaying... this is forcing the issue.

Nice, you should show up with a board of fuzz and let loose, once you've gotten said needed experience of course. Let us know how it goes.

BTW, I'm using a analogman bi and a diamond halo, both very cool.

[rcubed]

I'm running an Analogman mini chorus with deep mod after fuzz but before my auto Q wah and phaser. Eventually I'll probably stick another fuzz pedal after it for a different sound.

[bigchiefbc]

I rock two different choruses.

EHX Stereo Electric Mistress - usually set to a relatively high depth, rate around 1:00. Warbly, used to give movement to verse or bridge lines here and there when the guitar is playing a sparse line or not playing at all.

Behringer CC-300 (clone of Boss DC-2) - buttons 2 and 3 selected. This is a pretty static, frozen chorus sound. Used to emulate 80's tones or give a little extra something to depressing/downbeat songs.

[RickenBoogie]

Maxon CS9Pro, on my gig board, used alot during slow sections of songs where the bass is moving alot. 2nd to last in a short chain.

[Rip Topaz]

Here's a great chorus for ya. Fishman AFX chorus. Yup. The acoustic guitar one. Has 3 chorus's, plus panning, tremelo, flange phase, and rotary and they all sound GREAT on bass (not so cool on guitar, go figure).

[WeightedWings]

I have an EHX Stereo Electric Mistress. Pretty awesome though it is as much a flanger as a chorus. I'm actually usually not a chorus fan, but I kind of like the chorus on this.

My signal chain is Bass-->T-Rex Bassjuice-->EHX SEM-->Amp.

I mainly use it if I'm fingerpicking chords classical-guitar style, for upper registre stuff, and for toolish stuff.

[lowbass68]

Main chorus is an MXR. Use it for the finishing touch on originals that use clean chords. I own around 4 or 5 other chorus effects, but only use those for goofing around with.

[skulletwhip]

I use a Boss PS3 on Mode 8. I use it for breaks where its just me with delay. Thats about it.
