The chorus effects are generally used to enhance a sound by modulating delay times and/ or frequency content in various ways. Of course, the classic effects of this type : Chorus, Flanger and Phaser are all here – along with several other variations such as: Rotary Cab, Aerosol, Orbits, Centrifuge, Comb 1 and Comb 2.

All of the Chorus effects have one or two resonance parameters. These parameters control the level and phase of the effect output signal that is recirculated into the effect inputs. Use care when adjusting these parameters, as they can cause overload (or feedback-like howls) if they are set too high — even with little or no input signal present. As a general rule, the combined value of any resonance parameters should always be less than 100 — but pay close attention to levels whenever the total resonance is above

50.If you use high resonance values (to produce a deep flange effect, for example) and the clip LEDs light, try turning down the level of the effect that precedes the Chorus block.
