really funky interaction between my chorus and flanger

super rad stuff

ok, so i've got a boss ce-3 chorus MiJ that's about as old as i am, along with a digitech flanger modeler (x-series? i'unno). using either pedal as the only modulation on my board works pretty well. however, when i've got both on there, the flanger messes with the chorus whether the flanger is on or off. i get this really, really funky chimy-bright swirl happening in the background that's just really annoying. at first i thought my chorus was acting up since it's pretty old, but it's just the interaction between the two.

anyways, my question is this... is there any sort of fix i can do to solve this issue, or is the digitech pedal un-moddable? i'm guessing it's the second one, but there's always hope right? i mean, i really like the sound of each pedal separately and together, but that high noise floor makes them unusable together.

Whats your pedal order? Moving the Chorus, or Flange around will make a difference. Also, are they running off the same Power Supply? If so, which comes first on the daisy chain for the PSU?

hey, sorry for the late reply my laptop died:( i've tried switching the pedals and it hasn't worked. they are running off of the same power supply though, which having issues with that hadn't occured to me since i've always run everything off of one without any issues before. i'll try running one of or both off of a battery.

Yeah, the Digitech is digital, so if its running off the same PSU as the chorus, yer gonna get some weirdness happening. Try running the Flange off a separate PSU, or a battery...and all should be fine.

Are you using a daisy chain like a one-spot or a power supply with isolated outputs? I've experienced stuff like that and several other odd behaviors with the 1-spots...
 
Re: really funky interaction between my chorus and flanger

yea, i am running them off of a single daisy chain. guess i better get either another power supply, or at least start running the flanger with a battery for the time being.
