Flanger

Chorus derives from the late 80’s where different stereo field creation techniques influenced the sound of each chorusing unit.

Chorus recreates the classics using 3 stereo-field emulations. These emulations can be switched in any combination creating many different stereo fields. All switches up gives no stereo enhancement.

Three classic flanger effect emulations – ‘Ambient’, ‘Vintage’ and ‘Wild’. During research of classic pedal flangers we found numerous LFO modulators and stereo splitting techniques. We implemented them all.

For classic deep flange set Stereo Split and Stereo Spread off, pick triangular modulation, Vintage type and adjust Depth and Regeneration. The Manual switch overrides the LFO, for manual flange sweeps, only found on few historic flangers.

The module is stereo in, stereo out (with software normalised mono input if the source is mono).

Stereo Split Uses two separate LFO’s for left and right, creating an enhanced stereo image with left and right flanging in different directions. Can sound very ‘psychedelic’. Enhanced Stereo Split can reduce the intensity of the flange zone.

Stereo Spread Creates an enhanced stereo image by offsetting left and right flange voices with dynamic delay. Can sound super wide stereo or phasey depending on programme. Enhanced Stereo Spread can reduce the intensity of the flange zone. With both Stereo Split and Spread off the stereo image is preserved. For classic deep traditional flange effect turn both Stereo Split and Spread off.

LFO Type selector:

Manual Speed control becomes a manual sweep control (LED goes green). Sine, Rectified sine, Inverted rectified sine, Triangular Shape of auto oscillation. Speed Ranges from off to fast modulation. The LED goes red when in auto mode, green when in Manual mode.

Depth - Adjusts the flange zone depth. Min position operates in a tight flange zone. At max position the effect sweeps in and out of the flange zone creating a greater tonal change. High settings of Depth can sound extreme.

Regenerate - Produces feedback into the flanging delay line, making the flange more pronounced. Min position can result in no audible flange. Max position can sound too aggressive.

Emulation Types:

Ambient - HF rich, subtle flange, creating ambience. Great with overhead mics for a spatial sound.

Vintage - Creates a classic silky sound reminiscent of tape machine flanging. Regen control is well balanced LF and HF and the flanging does not get too aggressive.

Wild - An untamable, dramatic effect. The sound turns inside out.
