What is on your pedal board

[danktat]

Here I was thinking I was the only person who uses chorus as a regular effect. I see a lot of you guys with chorus pedals on your boards (or multi effects setups). I use it to keep my sound wet. I like reverb and delay, but for me chorus is my main thing I use to lubricate my sound. I think it was because a Fender Princeton Chorus was my first "real" amp. And chorus was available so I used it a lot. Now, I can't seem to get rid of it as a sound that works for how and what I play. Now, granted, with my playing, I need all the help I can get....but for me, it is only second to overdrive on my board.

Chorus is a wonderful effect; it adds some nice oscillation and movement to a part. I like it at a low intensity setting into the front of an overdriven amp similar to the way Trower uses a Univibe (which is, after all, a chorus/vibrato pedal of a different type).

There’s a myth that it only works with clean sounds. Not true. It’s all a matter of how it’s set up. Cool that you use it a lot!

I use it on some cleans, but actually more on overdriven tones. It gives the drive less of a piercing tone and more of a creamy sort of feel. When I stack it on top of both tube screamers, it seems to fill out any frequencies that are missing and give a really rich, full sound. That is mainly what I use it for.

I use it a lot on the Smooth Jazz songs that I play. I think it adds a little extra something.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that much empty space on a pedal board.

Yeah man....that IS looking a little bit sparse. lol. While most of us go on kicks where we need to upgrade board size.......lmao!

I don't know if it's much to brag about, but on the left is a Digitech RP355 for the electric guitars, right is a Digitech BP355 for my Bass, front Center is a Donner Alpha Cruncher that I use for Delay and Chorus on my acoustics. Behind that is a Alto ZMX52 mixer that takes everything and sends to the Kustom powered monitor in the back.

This is one for the xmas list, the HX stomp, fairly small to squeeze onto your board and has basically anything, the only limitation being max of 6 off 'blocks' (effects/amps/cabs) at a time.

There are decent amp and cabs sims, even got a couple of PRS archon profles.

Cool thread; interesting to see what you guys are using to create your tones.

Really interesting setup, actually, with the mixer and all.

I love these threads! Everyone has a unique approach. So cool to see them all.

Not pictured is the laptop I use to control the Digitech pedals. It makes it easier than bending down, trying to adjust and tweak an effect.

I’m all about that, hence the H9s on my board that I work via Bluetooth from my phone or iPad.

Wireless and a Helix or Helix LT... Soon to be wireless and a Fractal FC-12 pedal so I can finally not be forced to
play MIDI control of the Axe FX III....... If I happen to use an amp, crap ton of dirt pedals, delay, tremolo pedal,
phaser, etc... I don't like using an amp anymore... haha!
