McDSP Chrome Tone
A Closer Look at the Chrome Tone Chorus
The Chorus effect is the modulation a set of delay lines to create a more spatial
or sonically rich sound. This effect is common in guitar and keyboards, and a
variety of other instruments.
The Chrome Tone Chorus uses the same Dynamic and Auto sections found in the
Wah conguration to modulate the gain in its tremolo circuit.
Chorus Section
The Chrome Tone Tremolo
section ve controls to adjust
the Chorus effect.
• Chorus Type - selects
between Flange, Chorus
1, and Chorus 2 modes. In
the Stack conguration, an
Analog Delay mode is also available for up to 1 second of analog delay.
• Delay - the total delay line lengths used to create the delay modulated effect.
• Feedback - the amount of delayed signal feed back into the input of the
delay line/s.
• Mix - the balance between the dry (un-delayed) and wet (delayed) signals.
• Range - the overall modulation range from both the Dynamic and Auto
sections.
Flange, Chorus, and Vibrato Effects
The Chrome Tone Chorus conguration is capable of many types of effects,
including anging, slapback echo, doubling, vibrato, and chorus. Some of these
effects are detailed below.
• Flange - select the Flange mode, and dial up a Feedback value between 20
and 70. Using a delay length between 5 and 10, a signicant ange effect is
heard as the Auto section is enabled, and the Depth control is set to a value
between 25 and 50. Note how using a positive or negative feedback changes
the color of the ange effect (most ange effects only offer one polarity of
feedback - Chrome Tone gives both!).
• Chorus - using the Chorus 1 or 2 modes, along with all the parameters
