Give me examples of what you consider good tonal use of Chorus pedals

Re: Give me examples of what you consider good tonal use of Chorus pedals

Devin Townsend used to do a very subtle use of Chorus that I find tolerable, sometimes. Low mix, rate and depth, in a very "is this thing on?" way I kinda dig.

Anything from Terria is a great example of this, not to mention he used a SSS Strat for the heaviest of sounds. Other than that, Chorus should be disinvented and deleted from music history alongside Power Metal, Bon Jovi, wannabe Porcupine Tree and Pearl Jam bands, that clip of Orianthi playing blues, and tapping.

Not a huge fan of cleans in general..or "lush" chorus..

Adding a mean/menacing phasey metallic kinda edge to distortion is what I like using it for...

Not the slickest video/recording, but sort of like this.. (@ 0.45 onwards..)

The Cult, "Love" album. Gritty guitar sound with chorus all over that record. Still like it. "Rain" and "She Sells Sanctuary" come to mind. Apparently it is a Roland Jazz Chorus mixed alongside a Marshallish amp, although in really old live clips he seems to have just the JC.

Another great chorus pedal song (actually I think it is a combination of the chorus on the JC-120 and an Electric Mistress) that I was listening to just today:

I think it is time for some bass chorus now

Re: Give me examples of what you consider good tonal use of Chorus pedals

Idiot. Examples? Mike Stern uses chorus the whole time. And so did Maiden in 'Somewhere in Time', like the entire album in general.

Ok, this is a great example of successful Chorus.

I'm an idiot for asking what YOUR preferred examples of Chorus are? ok.

I am not sure because there is a LOT of production going on and I haven't listened to it in years, but I think there is also a lot of chorus on the harder & heavier "Sonic Temple" album.

I am a big Billy Duffy fan. Unfortunately I am not an Ian Astbury fan. Such is life.

I love all that early New Wave/Goth Cult and the eponymous Electric -which out American Hard Rocked American Style Hard Rock -but thought Sonic Temple was just average ....

Then Ian Asbury was asked about the 80s Cult fans and he said they would be replaced lol . -and I kind of ignored the band after that

Then 2 decades later at a festival I saw Ian crying on stage about how happy he was to be playing in front of thousands of people like the old days and how rough the last 2 decades had been.

As for metal, Zakk used chorus all over the place on Ozzmosis and there are some killer tracks on that album...

Somewhere in Time has probably the worst guitar tones in otherwise good album I can think of.

I hereby declare CHORUS as valid and justified in the world of effects based on the evidence provided in this thread!!!

Swirl-on everyone!
