Chorus pedals mix the dry signal with one or more short, modulated delays to create movement, width and gentle pitch variation. Rate controls the speed of the modulation; depth controls its excursion; blend, tone and stereo routing determine how prominent the effect becomes. Slower, shallow settings can add width without obscuring the note, while deeper settings move towards a seasick or synthetic wobble. Some designs use analogue bucket-brigade circuits, while others use DSP and presets. Check mono compatibility and headroom if the pedal will sit after drives or before a mixer.

Combines the dry signal with a very short, modulated delay and feedback, producing a moving comb-filter effect. Slow settings add width; higher feedback and depth create jet-like sweeps.
