What is a Chorus pedal?

#3
I would say it gives the impression of replicating your sound. The aim of a chorus pedal is to trick your ears into thinking there's several instruments playing in unison. It is in fact a delay circuit where the very short (average) delay time is modulated by a low frequency oscillator.

The pitch modulation is achieved by oscillating the delay time. Time = frequency = pitch. Also, analog choruses typically have only one delay line (replicating the sound once, not many times), but digital choruses (chorii?) sometimes use different methods, sometimes including multiple delay lines.

Male announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone.
Female announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone.
Male announcer: The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a white zone.
Female announcer: No, the white zone is for loading. Now, there is no stopping in a RED zone.
Male announcer: The red zone has always been for loading.
Female announcer: Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for unloading.

"Come as You are" is most definatly a chorus. Kurt Cobain is what you're hearing, he used an Electro Harmonix Small Clone chorus for that sound, I'm pretty sure the bass is just clean. Novoselic used a Gibson bass, which, with Gibson, was thick enough with those duel humbuckers to make the sound you hear. God Bless

Actually, I think that's a flanger. Chorii (I'm going to use that from now on, thanks Bongo) produce a sometimes similar sounding, but distinctly different effect. Typically the delay time in a flanger is shorter with more feedback.

OK time to be Mr. Professor here. Actually, it would be chori. You only get the double i in words that already have an i in them, like radius -> radii. It was a chorus, Butch Vig talked about it in an interview in some damn magazine.
