Does chorus go before or after reverb?

Moving your modulation/delay/ reverb effects around can create different sounds. If you want tremolo’d reverb (for example, I’d call a Fender Princeton a reverb -into-tremolo effect), place your reverb before your tremolo. If you want chorus ‘d delay, try placing your chorus after your delay. Etc.

What are chorus pedals used for?

Chorus is a type of modulation effect that functions very similarly to flanger pedals. As its name suggests, a chorus pedal’s purpose is to thicken and color your signal enough to sound as if there are multiple guitars—a chorus of them—playing one part.

What comes first phaser or chorus?

Traditionally you want your phaser first, then flanger and chorus in whatever order after that. But there’s nothing wrong with putting your chorus first and phaser last. That’s how neat sounds get created. I’ve had my chorus before my phaser for years.

What goes first chorus or distortion?

OTOH, a chorus is actually linear (or approximately linear), so technically it really makes sense to put it after distortion: chorus after distortion actually gives almost the same result as you’d get by putting each individual chorus voice through a seperate distortion unit.

Is a chorus pedal worth it?

A chorus pedal is a great way to create thicker sounds from a single signal. By taking your source signal, doubling it and setting the second signal slightly out of tune and time with the first, a chorus pedal can create the sound of two instruments playing simultaneously.

Is a chorus pedal necessary?

No one really “needs” any pedals. If you love chorus, then get one. Variety makes the world go round.

Where should a tremolo pedal go?

For most players, the ideal location to place modulation effects—which include phase shifters, flangers, chorus, rotary, tremolo, vibrato and so on—is directly after a compressor and/or overdrive/distortion pedal.

Do I need both delay and reverb?

If you just want a fuller sound for recording and live purposes, and your amp doesn’t feature reverb (or has a poor quality one, which is quite common), then the reverb pedal is your best bet. If, however, you want to be more experimental, or just want to make your solos sound cool, then go for the delay pedal.

Should I get a delay or reverb pedal first?

In a guitar signal chain, the delay unit is generally placed before a reverb pedal, but it’s up to the individual musician to decide on the order. Putting delay before reverb can muddy up the sound, so most guitarists prefer placing it after the delay.

What comes first delay or reverb?

Reverb defines the size of the “room” the sound plays in. Delay used as a slapback effect can come after after it, but most other modulation and delay effects should come before reverb.

What chorus pedal should I buy?

Best chorus pedals: MusicRadar’s Choice For a budget chorus, you can’t go wrong with the Electro-Harmonix Nano Clone. It sounds good, records well, and nails that Kurt Cobain sound.

What is the difference between chorus and flanger?

The flanger and the chorus are both modulation effects that use delay in a similar way. A main difference between the two is that a flanger uses shorter delay times than a chorus. Another difference is that unlike a flanger, a chorus does not have regeneration (delay feedback).
