Setting the Flanger:
1. Use the speed control to adjust the rotation speed. Higher settings
make the flanger sound like a vibrato.
2. Now turn up the feedback control until the effect has the desired con-
tour (from subtle to glassy to sharp swirling).
Chorus
As the name suggests, the Chorus seemingly multiplies the signal.
While this is probably an exaggeration, it definitely livens up the
sound, makes it wider and thicker. The principle of the Chorus is simi-
lar to the Flanger, except for the fact that the effect signal doesn’t get
fed back to the input, the depth is adjustable and the basic delay time
is higher (25 to 50 ms) making the Chorus fatter and less glassy.
Setting the chorus effect:
1. Use the knob switch to select either Chorus or Detune.
Detune sounds wider and fatter than Chorus, partly resulting from a longer delay time.
Choose Detune when you want to create the image of multiple guitars, and select
Chorus for adding a shimmering modulation to the sound.
2. By matching Speed and Depth to each other, you can create a wealth
of effects.
As a rule of thumb: The higher you set Speed, the lower you need to set Depth and
vice versa, otherwise the detuning becomes too strong.
A high Speed setting creates vibrato-like effects. A low Speed setting
along with a high depth value creates beautifully swirling, jazzy clouds.
