Stacking chorus pedals

Post by onkelkeks »

Hi ILFF!

i wonder how a chain of 3 or more chorus pedals would sound since i only got 2 and i really like combining them for the watery, lush and wide sound. So i wanted to ask any of you, if maybe you could make a demo with your clean sound and 3 or more chorus pedals :-)
And in general: what do you think about stacking chorus?

you would help me alot thanks for your efforts :hug:

PS: yes im a chorus-addict :p

I can't say I've ever stacked more than two.

Will see what I can do with stacking a ...few.

I have I think 6-7 rack units capable of doing it.

I can put together a simple, yet uninspiring, demo using the pedals below should you so desire.

I'd rather have several delay lines creating chorus for the same signal in parallel then I would several choruses run together in series but also fuck the rules I'm going to experiment with it tonight.

Well I just made a 10 minute demo then as I was reviewing the video I realized I had the Clusterflux set to "Flange" instead of "Chorus" :facepalm:

Oh well, I tried.

Have that in my setup, delays set very, very close on multiple amps with different qualities/EQ/feedback.

Stacked seven in series with parallel taps.

It sounded like a washier chorus with more of a noise floor.

Nothing to really report home about.

I can post the test but the description saves you five minutes of your life.

I'm not the biggest chorus fan, I do use my Small Clone occasionally tho. However, I usually stack delays and reverbs. Either way, I like the demo, it sounded good.

I played a show in the late 90s with a goth rock band, and I recall teasing the guitarist who insisted on playing 4 chorus pedals at once (mostly boss and a mxr). I couldn't argue with his tone for what it was though

VI> fuzz board of doom (no chorus) > GL100 rackmount (all outs split to various units).

Every rack effect has its own tap out to the DAW interface, plus mic on the Jazz Chorus, Mustang V (4x12), and Deluxe if desired. 24 simultaneous tracks without going to extra 4 (which works but needs love to get running sometimes and I rarely need 28).

Quadraverb+ chorus, Midiverb 2 chorus, Mustang V amp chorus, V Amp Pro rackmount (pod clone) chorus, pair of RDS 3.6 LFO delays set as chorus, modulated delay on the Digi Timebender, and chorus on ART SGE, then master rack channel with everything in series. Additional chorus on Jazz Chorus feed, because, well, #YOLOFX. It was gloriously noisy but not much better than using 2-3.

Add extra chorus+warp on a second track with Jaguar (plus slicer and a few things)
