Members ck3 Posted February 26, 2007 Members Share Posted February 26, 2007 I've been using an Arion SCH-Z for a while now. It is an amazingly swirly/dense chorus, but I am becoming frustrated with the extent to which it boosts my signal ... especially when it causes my amp modelers to clip when I'm playing clean with a bridge humbucker. My Behringer UF100 isn't quite as intense in terms of boosting, but also creates slight clipping at times. Ideally, I'd like to be able to engage an analog chorus or flanger pedal and remain at unity gain. What are my options if I am looking to have modulation throughout the frequency spectrum without signal boosting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrMunky Posted February 26, 2007 Members Share Posted February 26, 2007 A good number of pedals are like that.I can't think of any for 15 bucks, but you might look at:Boss CE-2: http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/Chorus.mp3FoxRox TZF : http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/FoxRox5.mp3Yamaha Magicstomp: http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/HSFuzz.mp3 (you can set this to have a volume boost or drop, or unity)Analogman Clone Chorus: http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/PR.mp3ADA Flanger: http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/ADAZen.mp3I know, I'm a gear whore.

Members usa83strat Posted February 26, 2007 Members Share Posted February 26, 2007 i like a slihgt b oost from my chorus, it makes sure i dont get lost in the mix. i think most good desined madulation has a lil boost tot he volume since most modulation tends to expand the frequency range of the instrument for a live situation is great to have the slight boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could run it through a line mixer and dial in (back down the channel volume of the mixer) to even out your signal, when you engage your Chorus.

Members ck3 Posted February 26, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2007 Yamaha Magicstomp: http://www.inrerocknroll.com/tunes/HSFuzz.mp3 (you can set this to have a volume boost or drop, or unity) I presently have one of these on my board. It is occasionally used for modulation, but the majority of my presets involve reverb, delay, and/or pitch shifting. I wish that I could find an analog modulator with a similar amount of flexibility. Perhaps it would behoove me to invest in analog modulation pedals with blend controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosting is definitely a feature of modulation pedals that manipulate the full spectrum of a guitar signal. I once had a chorus pedal modded in a way that removed some of the boost and recall that the sweep range seemed kind of limited after the fact.

Perhaps my Arion SCH-Z could benefit from it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
