What it does
A chorus built from two delay lines running simultaneously, which is also what lets it reach past chorus into flanging and short slapback sounds. The panel is a single page: a preset list at the top, a stereo knob for width, a mono switch for the input and a bass boost. Presets run from subtle thick chorus settings through brighter, wider classic voicings to flange and delay patches. Jade agrees with a viewer who notes the design follows the Juno chorus.
In the demo
Jade works it on acoustic guitar in AUM, moving from the subtle presets up to the wide ones so the width change is audible, then puts it on a lead vocal to stand in for a doubled take, and on electric piano through V Tines. She closes with a live song using it across all three parts.
Worth knowing
The controls are few, so shaping a specific rate and depth means starting from a preset. Jade reports light CPU use across hosts.
