That 80's Rack Chorus?

Re: That 80's Rack Chorus?

These days, I am programming several modulated delays across the stereo spectrum for chorus. That is sort of what these sound like to me.

Those last two were particularly sweet. Thanks.

I've had a Rocktron Intellifex in my rack for fifteen years, basically for the 8-voice chorus- it's stellar and I really can't see doing without. Each of the voices gives you individual control over delay, pan, rate, depth, and level. Plus there are master wet & dry level adjustments in the mix section. Very flexible and just incredibly lush.

Re: That 80's Rack Chorus?

If your desk has stereo returns you can go into a single channel and send to the Aux sends PFL. Run each send to its own chorus and either bring them into separate channels and pan them that way, or into the Aux returns and pan each return...

Re: That 80's Rack Chorus?

Are you going to split your guitar signal? Or use aux sends and returns?

I'm not 100% sure yet, but I'll probably split initially. I've got my SFX-01 to buffer the signal. (And several other booster/buffers for that matter.

Re: That 80's Rack Chorus?

More or less yes. But there is a rather big difference in the BBD chips of then and now.

Re: That 80's Rack Chorus?

Is that really all it is? Three BBD chorus lines, one left channel, one right channel and one "center"?

Re: That 80's Rack Chorus?

Well, the good news is, this one may not cost me anything. I already have several flavors of chorus, and a mixer. So I can get started cheap.

I am the one that posted that pic. Sorry to send you down the rabbit hole lol (not really)

Re: That 80's Rack Chorus?

I just might try that. It would be fun to see how rich I could a get chorus to sound.

Re: That 80's Rack Chorus?

The tinkerer in me can't help but wonder if you could get close to the same affect by paralleling three "ordinary" chorus' through a small, inexpensive mixer.

Thoughts?

Artie

You could get a similar effect by triple-tracking (pan each track L, C, R) or using a harmonizer.

That Fulltone unit is based off the Songbird Tri-Stereo Chorus rackmount from the 80s.
