How to Use a Guitar Effect Pedal : Chorus Effects for the Electric Guitar

[hofsteveO]

Johnny Marr perfected the use of Chorus..

[rethanol]

Come as you are



[LucasMacedoSkateTV]

1:27 reminds me of nirvana effects

[xSOADPLx]

@LucasMacedoSkateTV Yeah Curt used chorus for Come as you are for example.

[BIGxBOSSxx1]

@xSOADPLx Kurt* -.-

[xSOADPLx]

@BIGxBOSSxx1 Oh yeah, sorry.

[schwarszendeust]

v-amp huh?... is that multi effect system good?... SB have one?... its cool??

[TheNewsoul2]

thanks for the info the intro sounds like "purple Rain"

[joetyszk33]

V-amp's are legit, nice choice

[fleeper4]

What's the Chord at 0:30 !! O>O

[gibsondanny]

@fleeper4 A major

[fleeper4]

@gibsondanny Thank :P

[constant91]

@fleeper4 Looks like an Asus2/G#. Or hes muting the E-string and its an Asus2. Not an Amajor though.

[tall32guy]

1:30 my FAVE guitar sound with a chorus box!!! :)

[Gerleg08]

ooh my old amp wasnt shit: it just had a chorus effect set to maximum in itXD

[ewlogia77]

what`s the music 1:30

please tell me))

[lazarusjoseph14]

Hi there i am using Korg Ax3000G i would like to have sustain effect into and you help me what all the things i need to pedal up to get perfect sustain effect



[valor93]

@xRAiNxHD just try and learn it by ear, don't be so reliant on tabs. took me a while to stop learning songs only by tab. I personally think you get a better memory and "feel" for the music if you try and learn it by ear.

[bbnatedogg]

SOUNDS LIKE A HOT TURD! CONGRATS IDIOT VILLAGE

[metroidorx]

"And I when I put the chorus-- We get the same effect".

[OdaKa]

@metroidorx Your ears must be deaf to certain frequencies. lol, def doesn't get the same effect, nor did he say that. ::)

[BELL12366]

do u really use the vmp? cause i have it but people say berhinger sucks, and also it doesnt sound like single effects.

[BearWindAppleyard]

Is it me or does it have a very kind of digital, un-organic/unnatural sound?

[jeezuschryst]

jeeeeezus fuck behringer things sound awful

[victor0890]

What is this Strat? O_o

[samguitarman]

Ar u a Jeremy Camp brother?

[CapnCheezburger]

OMG HE CAN MAKE THE PITCH MOVE BY WAVING HIS FINGER

[HUNDuffman]

the /\/\/\/\/ vibration at 1:02 is the naturally occuring impurity (side effect) of anything that is chorused.

[necromonitoz93]

0:23 diablo 2 !

[Filaqosik]

@necromonitoz93 Yeah! Tristram 4ever!

[zk1mike]

omg thats behringer, that sucks

[K0skinen]

Diablo



[Mutumaniac]

@K0skinen mitä se koskinen siellä huutelee?

[K0skinen]

@Mutumaniac sitäpä vain, että kuulostaa kovasti diablo 2 musalta.

[K0skinen]

Diablo

[K0skinen]

Diablo

[Theaceofspuds]

ey..

[guitarsoloblack]

PRESS F13 TO SKIP THE AD

THUMBS UP IF YOU LOOKED :)

[GuitarBlues3]

@guitarsoloblack Fuck. Go to youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA­0 to see great guitar playing, seriously.

[liamzuid]

song at 1:33

[todeswalzer123]

why are you using a strat with a v-amp

for gods sake !

[dirtpunk1]

This guys video is terrible !!

[joezetank]

@dirtpunk1 you're only saying that because it's expert village, go back to your paddock whoolie.

[MavenAustinXanderPan]

i just wanna know what kind of pedal does slash uses

[joezetank]

@MavenAustinXanderPan all i know about slash's pedals is that he uses a crybaby wah

[2112nico]

Camel never let go?

[87tdon]

Waht is a fender?

[MrNesteaPeachTV]

@87tdon Fender is a brand of electric guitars :)

[deomartinez77]

Everytime I hear the chorus effect on a guitar I think of Prince's "Purple Rain"

[Rando417]

@deomartinez77 I was going to write that until I saw that you already had.

[deomartinez77]

@Rando417 great minds think alike :-)

[joezetank]

@deomartinez77 omg! that's exactly what made me want a chorus pedal in the first place, such a magnificent intro isn't it? me and my teacher have been trying to learn it.

[snall3z]

love ur videos! what amp u using in this vid? and whats guitar,modell is the acustic on the wall`? cheerz!

[rpunk85]

what model is that FENDER>?

[aSimulatedHigh]

luckily for me, I already have a chorus effect on my amp so I don't have to go out and buy a $50+ foot pedal

or I could get a Berenger V amp, that looks pretty cool

[Greenie369]

That thing at the end he played at the end sounded really cool.

[023132]

what little song in the beginning was he playing? its sounds familiar

[N7Crazy]

Damn! I hoped he would play "Come as you are"!

[coldironhands1]

but why would you want your guitar to sound like this?

[aninstrumentalvision]

Nice demo on a lousy chorus sound. A good one will sound MUCH better! (i.e. Behringer sucks. Strymon or TC electronics units sound great, especially compared to this Behringer.)

[0123mala]

it's so ANNOYING!!

[slayer7435]

at 1:30 it kinda sounds like rush

[nothingbutrock666]

would vibe be simular to chorus?

[journeyquest1]

MXR micro chorus. Best chorus pedal for the money. MXR is making some nice stuff again. No, i dont work for MXR either.

[andreasmariosetiawan]

i don't understand :P is chorus a clean sound?

[MrNesteaPeachTV]

@andreasmariosetiawan no...chorus is an effect :) you can put in on clean , distorsion , over drive ...but sound cool on clean with some acoustic simulation :)

[TheRealRayJ]

I'm debating between chorus and uniivibe. Could anyone give me some tips. I'm mostly playing Jimi/SRV type stuff so I'm thinking univibe, but thickening up my tone would be nice as well.

[Metalhead001122]

It's the same effect that you get from a 12 string without the pain in the ass of having 12 strings.

[AliasFail]

0:54 the guitar's drunk

[Unknown8656]

Sounds like if the guitar were not tuned

[pedskon]

@speedguitar88 yes, the pedal used for Come As You Are is named Electro Harmonix Small Clone.

[JusBeCuzz]

who could dislike this its just amazing

[groovey65]

@speedguitar88 yeah

[amr7861]

what the fuck is up with all the advertisements!!?

[Guandy]

@amr7861 I use adblock, no ads for me anywhere :)

[TheNeverendingfire]

@amr7861 found out you just gotta do a quick refresh of the page, kills the ads!! very helpful i find!

[mlbmlsnfl]

can you use the same amps for guitar as for bass?

[MgThounder]

@mlbmlsnfl nope the bass will damage them. you can use guitar on a bass amp though. 

[mlbmlsnfl]

@MgThounder k thnx

[Alucard33592]

@mlbmlsnfl well you can and you cant.....if its a bass amp you can use both a guitar and a bass with it but if its a guitar amp the speaker wont be able to handle the lower sound of the bass to well and it will blow the speaker...it might not happen right away but the speaker will blow if you play a bass through it

[Joakinrocker]

@mlbmlsnfl you shouldn't. Guitar amps aren't made to be able to play the low notes a bass has, you can damage your amp, I damaged one, not pretty. 

[delightXD]

0:01



[RoxxorBidoune]

I hate chorus ! It sounds horrible to me !

[reallyguitarhero]

@RoxxorBidoune why,maybe you don't know how to use it

[RoxxorBidoune]

@reallyguitarhero or maybe I just don't like the sound

[muhaha714]

whoa is tht a mesa boogie triple rect. amp i see in the left corner??

epic =D

[maksmail]

@muhaha714 It doesn't look like mesa. I'm not sure, but my lucky guess would be that it's Bugera of some kind decided by the front panel knob placement.

[richardw1992]

@maksmail No guys, its a Peavey XXL head, one of the older solid state heads they made i think..

In terms of tone, it would get walked all over by both a Bugera or Mesa Rectifier.

[nikoshaskas]

i have the exactly same things on my line 6!!!!!!!

[bt00r]

0:30 Diablo II rouge city music!! OMG

[Fox1991]

@bt00r LOL man I miss that game

[OverSlyZed]

@bt00r It's Diablo 1 Tristram.

[b44styreraug]

I just love adding chorus after my drive signal. really makes a nice solo tone

[Chronitia]

Nice vids man! So far all of yours went straight to my favorites.

[SuperGuitarNewbie]

Why is it always this guy demonstrating? Well, he's kind of good

[1StopMusic]

what kind of music was played at the end of the video? soft-rock?

[SlainUnderFire77]

1:31 sounds like Good Mourning/Black Friday by Megadeth.

[MrTornadoofsouls]

@SlainUnderFire77 lol for only for 1 second

[SlainUnderFire77]

@MrTornadoofsouls Well the effects and the tone of it makes it sound alike.

[MrTornadoofsouls]

@SlainUnderFire77 mhmm yeah the tone is like that amazing megadeth song 

[tbone81395]

if i were to get an effect pedal which one should i get if i were to make it sound like message in a bottle?????? PLS SOME ONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

[KingOfShadows1500]

hi! nice choruys there! check out my channel, i play guitar too :P

[MilesTheMusicDude]

jus get a boss me-70 those do everything.there on sale right now too on guitarcenter.look boss me-70 into google.

[UPLIP12345678]

Getting a danelectro fab chorus for £19 with postage and looks pretty great

[alvicious]

Schutt yo mouf! LOL!

[journeyquest1]

Check out the MXR micro chorus. Very nice pedal for the money. I just got one for 70 bucks. Check the reviews.

[AlexmanDK]

Clearly the guy playing is not the guy doing the subtitles.. Barrage V amp?! WTF

[SpringChimp]

I need to get a guitar. And all the things that make all the cool sounds.

[toxin789]

@SpringChimp it's easier and harder than you think

[journeyquest1]

@SpringChimp How much you want to spend? I just bought a Squier Jagmaster for 280 bucks. Well worth the money. Or the top of the line Squier Strat is a little more and also nice. Any of the aftermarket parts with swap easy on these guitars. Boss and MXR make some nice pedals. Just read the reviews.

[XxDIAZ4LIFExX]

@SpringChimp lol dude once you see those prices... it'll take a while

[JOECOXISAWESOME]

Actually chorus doesn't double it, technically. What it does is it takes the signal splits it two and either raises or lowers the pitch of the second signal by very small amounts but keeps the original signal intact. Giving it the effect of a piano.

[artsppdaniel]

Great sharing. I love it.

[4stringFanatico]

subtitles for a video that NEEDS sound??????? it cant be for deaf ppl cuz wat da fuk or they doing woth music anyway?let alone and effect pedal if THEYRE DEAF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[bjg7272]

@4stringFanatico what so ur saying ppl who r deaf cant play music? alot of bethovens greatest syphonys were written when he was fully deaf. so think b4 u talk you ignorant bitch

[4stringFanatico]

@bjg7272 i was completely aware of that rude ass, but u forgot that hed already been a musical wizard even before he went deaf. not every deaf person is like mozart ,who had been completely immersed in his music. someone whos born deaf cant imagine watd music would be like since they cant hear anything! dude ur not guna win this arguement, no one who is this indepth in music is deaf.

[DaanJM]

Haha take a look at the subtitles: "Barrage V amp", lol

[samnninty]

eww you use it so badly!

chorus can give a new sparkle to arpeggios. But you just use too much of it and it sounds horrible!

[lazrpo1nt3r]

@samnninty That's not the only use for it though...

[ntrnate]

fuck chorus

[sabrehagen]

I find it hilarious that they put subtitles on a video about guitar pedals. If you're deaf, you can't hear the output from the amp!

[LanDnalyaW]

@sabrehagen lol thats what i was thinking, i just took them out anyway

[blueheartguitarist]

@sabrehagen

Deaf people cant hear the output, but they can feel the vibrations and thats what they go by... my cousin is deaf and he is a guitarist, keyboardist and trumpet player.

[ddrumdude]

@sabrehagen haha exactly what i was thinking!

[GuidoWorship]

@sabrehagen i'm from Brazil... I can only fully understand the video by reading the subbs... Cuz my "listening" isn't very good yet... Helps a lot ^^

[MitjaShi]

@sabrehagen some people understand english only so much, so subtitles can be helpful if they can't pick up all the words people are saying.

[squid262]

Why would there be subtitles for a video talking about an FX pedal?

[jokersmile32]

that chorus effect sounds so bad you really need a devoted analog chorus pedal to get a good sounding chorus. i recommend the one made by jacques it is more than worth the money.

[footinface]

well that was shity

[PoPoRybnik]

it's awesome! :D

[SergioSlasher]

is that same a delay?

[draccanon]

how much does that vamp cost?

[vandealex]

@draccanon cheep like 120 canadian i think. its better than the line 6 pocket pod

[Theogibsonfreak]

Yes, we all do.

[toolboxafun69]

smoking weed then jamming on the guitar is even more fun!

[BlitzkreigYYZ]

everyone does :D

[PreedyM2k]

why not use a proper chorus pedal instead of dodgy behringer gear

[ihateschool778]

i dont got a amp like you do. would i be able to use this with just a regular amp? i dont have any effects pedals either

[ceXhc]

You would need a chorus pedal, or a an amp with chorus built in. You don't have to get an expensive multi-effects pedal like that guy has. You could get just a a chorus pedal much like you'd have a distortion pedal.

[pierrelebatteur]

sound like the BOSS CE-1 Analog Chorus

I love it !!!!

[pwnagnerd]

How are the Boss GTs? I'm thinking about getting a GT6, but I want to know what other's think of it. Thanks :)

[wariomt]

my co-player has GT10, hes happy with it, wahs are incredible, other effects too, but I wouldnt use it for distortion, although he claims that through hi-fi system it sounds great, just try one:)

[ArzeiX]

It's almost like Natural Science by Rush. If not, it is. Beginning of the song and the riff is at 1:46

[123jonnyp123]

end sounded a bit like rush

[rodrigozamo]

alex leifson is famous for his chorus and flanger effects... he uses it on most tracks

[GuitarBrotha]

This is the only guy from expert village that doesn't suck.

[GoldenEnterprise]

Exactly what I was going to say! Rock on Gary!

[Zender0zXD]

@GuitarBrotha you're right bro!!!!

XD

[IsaLiliaProductions]

Haha

[Melermometal]

It also can sound very good for doom metal if used in a minor chord/scale, as in Jugulator by Judas Priest.

[ThaGearOfWar]

So what's your point, Nuno?

[jacksonabuser]

hes just demonstrating the use of a chorus effect, what does the brand have to do with anything?

[chilidog1001]

sounds really 80's

[TheTrooper80]

why everyone uses chorus only with clean sound !!!!!

[maxrutc09]

It sounds so good on feedback

[alextzam]

get a les paul men

[Zykor669]

Does anybody know the name of the song he started playing at the end? I think I know it from somewhere

[qwerly45]

Oscillation.

[kartcord]

he luks sleepy in this video

[everybodymustgettone]

Chorus pedals remind me of getting blown by Jenny Sanchez because that was back in the day when every song on the radio had chorus pedals in them. Wonder what ever happend to her....

[rican69g]

awesome sound love how the bass notes sound

[Maestrp37388]

I've watched several of these now, and they're quick but effective (sorry no pun intended).

[PaulPH9]

I like them to. Simple quick and amazing!

[KNIGHTCleric]

if your mind already twisted Then Why you are here watching this dude?Go and watch your porn for the whole day!

[Norbizzle2012]

what you hear when its all the way to "wet" is the triangle wave going into the LFO and delaying the signal

[RockerAustin]

i've seen a vamp for sale somewhere quite cheap and really want one, just like that one, could you lpease tell me what effects it has????

[defcon777]

If you go to Behringer website it will tell you all the effects. I had one and have since let my friend have it. I have the Line6 POD XT. The VAMP2 has a tone I have yet to get on the Line6. The VAMP is amazing for the price. I see they have a VAMP3 now (this one is 2). If you can afford it....get it

[riderdude10]

you can get the exact same sound with (believe it or not) a boss super shifter (PS-5)
