Chorus pedals thicken your guitar sound by blending the dry signal with a slightly delayed and modulated copy. The result can range from a gentle shimmer to a wide, lush, 1980s-style modulation effect that makes clean tones feel bigger and more spacious.
They are often used on clean arpeggios, jangly rhythm parts, fretless-style bass tones and dreamy ambient passages. A chorus pedal is a great choice if you want movement, width and a more polished sound without completely changing the character of your playing.
Delay pedals repeat your guitar signal to create echoes, rhythmic patterns and spacious textures. They can be used subtly to add depth, or more dramatically for dotted-eighth repeats, slapback rockabilly sounds, ambient layers and experimental soundscapes.
Different delay types offer very different characters, from warm analogue repeats to clean digital echoes and tape-style modulation. A delay pedal is one of the most creative tools on a pedalboard because it can support simple lead lines, fill space in a mix and completely transform a part.
Flanger pedals create a sweeping, jet-like modulation effect by mixing your dry guitar signal with a short delayed signal that moves over time. The sound can be subtle and metallic, or dramatic and whooshing depending on the speed, depth and feedback settings.
Flangers are useful for classic rock, post-punk, new wave, metal and experimental textures. They can add motion to clean chords, intensity to distorted riffs and a distinctive swirling character that stands apart from chorus and phaser effects.
