Chorus on dirty channel

[RockNRoling]

I was listening to Ozzy's No more tears album, Zakk has this great overdrive and you can hear the chorus pedal giving him that sweet sound. How come every chorus pedal I have tried just sounds so muddy on the dirty channel? I have tried several different pedals and they just sound like my guitar is out of tune. It sounds incredible on the clean channel... any suggestions? my gear i am using is listed below

THANKS

Re: Chorus on dirty channel

Have you got the chorus pedal in the effects loop? That's where it will sound best - i.e. after the pre-amp distortion.

you might have to tone down the rate and depth because you wont want as mcuh of this as you have on your clean channel

Turn all the controls on the unit down, Dial up your distortion and tweak
the knobs so it colors the sound. You don't want a wobblie sound just
a suitle hint of the effect. This sound was pioneered by Tom Shotlz of
Boston in the 70's.

Set it to the slowest it can go. Chuck Schuldiner did this on leads as well, and it sounds ****ing amazing. Run the pedal infront of the amp.

sounds great with the built in distortion on my line6... adds tons of depth. and sounds really 80s.

I'd recommend turning the actual volume of the effect down as well as the speed of the depth.
