Stereo Chorus (Chorus)

Parameters

No.

Name

Range

Comments

FxA(B) On/Off

On, Off

Turns the effect on or off.

1

Rate

0 ~ 100

Sets the rate (frequency or modulation speed) of the low frequency oscillator (LFO).
The modulation cycles become faster as you increase this value.

2

Depth

0 ~ 100

Sets the depth of the low frequency oscillator (LFO). The sense of modulation
becomes stronger as you increase this value. There is no chorus effect at 0%.

3

LFO Form

Sin, Tri

Selects the modulation waveform. Generally, Sin (sine wave) produces a deeper,
undulating effect, and Tri (symmetrical triangular wave) produces a cleaner, gentle
effect with less modulation.

4

PreDelay

0 ~ 500 ms

Determines how long it will take to activate the chorus effect.

5

LPF

100 Hz ~ Thru

LPF blocks all frequencies higher than the one set in this parameter. Useful for
softening the chorus. LPF is inactive when set to “Thru”.

6

Spread

0 ~ 20

Determines the amount of expansion between the two channels. There is no effect
when set to “0”.

7

Direct Level

0 ~ 100

Determines the level of the direct sound.

8

Effect Level

0 ~ 100

Determines the level of the effect sound.

This is a standard chorus effect.
Chorus adds a sense of expansion and
depth.

z

Generally speaking, you can fatten
longer sounds (like strings or a chorus)
by combining a large 

Depth

 and a slower

(small) 

Rate

. On the other hand, it‘s

generally more effective to set a smaller

Depth

 and then adjust the 

Rate

 to obtain

an effective chorus for rapidly decaying
sounds (like electric-piano or electric
guitars).
You can also make other changes, like
setting a lower 

LPF

 to create a smoother

analog-like sound. Higher settings create
a clearer chorus sound.
