- 23:20Preset run: subtle stutter, basic chorus, double tracker and tape wobble
- 24:51Wobble taken to zero then raised, so its effect is isolated
- 25:38The wobble on plucked single notes rather than chords
- 26:13Stereo slap preset, a delay style sound pulled out of the chorus
- 27:23Watery wobble with the delay and the mix control
What it does
A stereo chorus that works the usual way, modulating a delayed copy of about twenty milliseconds against the dry signal, with an added wobble parameter that varies both the rate and the depth so the modulation cycle stops being predictable. Rate, depth, wobble, a delay and a mix control sit alongside a large preset list, preset saving and a randomize button.
In the demo
Jade plays a miked acoustic through the presets, including a double tracker and a tape wobble, then pulls the wobble to zero and raises it in stages so its contribution is separable from the chorus underneath. She tries it on plucked notes as well as strums and demonstrates the stereo slap and watery presets.
Worth knowing
The wobble range reaches clearly detuned territory at the top. It also comes in the three app Chorus Ensemble bundle with OkChorale and LcrChorus.
