In this episode, Daniel and Mick reappraise the not-so humble chorus pedal and what it can do for you. They also touch on flangers (missus).
Is it horribly out of fashion, or is it a staple that must be on every board? Where should it sit on your board? What happens when you add overdrive? Daniel and Mick bounce between the walls of the questions with the help of…
• Original Boss Chrous Ensemble
• Boss CE-2 (Keeley-modded)
• Electro Harmonix Electric Mistress Flanger
• VFE Choral Reef
Dan is playing his Fender Custom Shop ’63 Telecaster, Mick is playing a Collings CL Deluxe. The amps are a Two-Rock Studio Pro 35 with 1x12 Custom Zilla cab (Celestion G12H-75 Creamback) and Marshall JTM45 through a Marshall 2061X 2x12 cab (Celestion G12H-30 Anniversary speakers).
As always, TheGigRig G2 is controlling all the effects and amp routing and switching effortlessly.
Enjoy all this wobbling and shifting!

I must be crazy since Chorus is my absolute favorite FX pedal of all time.

I think we should pass a law which states that ALL Chorus pedals should be a watery tropical blue, Flangers a rainy grey-green, and Vibratos a mercurial silver. Thanks.

Chorus has been one of my main effects ever since I started getting into the electric guitar. Love the lush sound it has to it, perfect for tunes like The Smiths.

Are the guys clairvoyant? Their predictions have come true 6 years later. Either that or people saw this show and started following their suggestions.

So many demo videos of players misusing chorus pedals, enough to make you feel sick. You need to have a good ear and just set it for a 12-string jangle type thing or a wide doubling effect. If it can go fast enough, then a Leslie sound. Yes, you can make a sea-sick warbly vibrato sound but again, you have to have a good ear and not overdo it.

Chorus I really like when someone else is using it. However, every time I buy a chorus pedal I sell it because it changes my tone too much. Maybe it’s just not for me.

I'm an 80s kid. Simple minds. David Bowie. Soundtrack of my life. lol You might not pack it out to every gig, but you have to have a good chorus in your pocket. I sure do love GigRig. You guys are my go to wind down before bed TV. Sadly, I don't get much sleep because when I watch GigRig, I always want to go to the trunk and pull out all my pedals and jam lol. cheers guys

Alex Lifeson uses a chorus live to make the guitar sound thicker to cover the multi tracked studio trickery. However the 80s killed it for me.

Does anybody else think Chorus sounds watery? In my head Chorus flows like a river. Just like delay bounces like raindrops on the ground.

I had a CE1 back in 1983. You cannot imagine how great it sounded with a BC Rich Bich doubleneck played through it using the 12 string neck. It was a million miles wide and deep.

The chorus is awesome with The Smiths songs.

These guys are big fans of the 'knowing look' and generally love a bit of eye contact.

I discovered you two about a month ago and I’ve been bingeing ever since. So informative and interesting, and when you crack each other up it’s just fantastic. Best info on pedals on the www.

I bought and got rid of two choruses, the EHX Small Clone to which Dan referred (too synthetic sounding and not at all versatile) and the Joyo chorus (too muddy). I now use a wonderful $65 Mooer Ensemble King.

I appreciate this channel and how you guys examine the different characteristics of the various pedal types and how they can be manipulated! Gives us great usable ideas.
