Guitar Chorus Pedal – Blending The Chorus Effect Into Your Tunes
There are so many sweet effects for you to use with your guitar and the guitar chorus pedal stands among them. With its ability to emulate the sound of multiple guitars from one tone, it can add a whole new sensation to your live show.
But what are some opportune times to actually use this neat effect without taking away from the song? There are going to be better places than others to use this effect. Here are a few suggestions:
Stand out in the middle of a guitar solo.
You know that it’s your time to shine when it comes down to you wailing above the rest during a powerful guitar solo. Try your guitar chorus pedal the next time you blaze the frets and you can leave a better impression.
Use it to boost your lead parts in a heavy rhythm section.
Sometimes an intricate rhythm section that consists of constant strumming can drown out a weak lead riff. With some chorus on your guitar you’ll be able to cut through more of the bass and middle ranges to be heard over the top easier.
Add more bulk to a rhythm section.
A guitar chorus pedal is mainly used to create the illusion of multiple instruments playing in sync with each other. If you want to give more bulk and power to a rhythm section, flip on your effect and suddenly you’ll have other tones backing you up.
Now, not everything that you attempt with an effects pedal is going to be beautiful music to your ears. It’s very easy to do too much and potentially wreck a song. Check out these tips to check your intentions with the effect.
Think about your purpose.
If the only reason you can find to use your guitar chorus pedal is “just because” then you probably shouldn’t. Always have a purpose to use your effects, because they can create really awesome drama when used in moderation.
Always serve the song.
Using the chorus effect too much can run the risk of ruining a song. You’ll know deep down if a part of your guitar tune has too much going on and you really shouldn’t attempt to fit anything else in.
You can’t be in the spotlight the entire time in a full band.
As much as we all wish we were the center of attention 100% of the time when we’re playing with a band, we can’t be. Check your ego at the door so you’re not putting attention on yourself with an effect that isn’t necessary.
A guitar chorus pedal can add some really neat and new dimensions to your playing, but you have to make sure your intentions are pure and what’s best for the piece. As long as you stay true to the tune, you should be in good shape.
