The warm, shimmering sound produced by a chorus effect is one of the most recognizable electric guitar sounds in modern music.
Whether it’s provided by an old-school effects pedal or its modern, software equivalent, this classic effect includes a number of ‘standard’ controls such as depth and rate that can be altered according to the player’s requirements.
