Ok.... Got my pork barrel done.....
I freaking LOVE it!!!
Question...
Clean... Its an awesome chorus.
Distorted.... Love it too.... BUT.... Its not what i expected..
It has a kinda.... Flanger type sound when you run a distortion in front of it....
Now... I did the LFO LED mod and its working.... Does that have something to do with it??
Or is it that im running it post distortion????
Dont get me wrong... I like it.... Its just different than the chorus om used too out oc my tce gmajor after my mp1
I would suggest altering the delay time if this is the case, try socketing C18 and trying out a few different values there, larger cap = more delay, i'd start with 100pF. If you like a few you could always put them on a On/Off/On toggle to have 3 selectable values.
It'll basically increase the intensity of it and be more... chorusey rather than the distortion bringing out those flanger harmonics.
hmmmm good info...
I have a second board... will try this..
like i said.. i LOVE it the way it is...
BUT.. i want two.. .one for my cleans and one for my distorted... as id rather not much with settings between songs.. right now, can't just leave it on as the flanger/phaser effect is too much for distorted sound and i have to lower the depth to about 2 to get a sweet solor under distortion wihtout the flange / phase thing.
I'll post a clip of whats going on tonight so the effect is readily apparent..
in any case.. I have to get a couple more boards because both of my latest guitar build customers want one now.. just the way it is!!
oops
here a good example of the "phaser/ flanger" effect.. you can hear it at the end under distoirtion.

It's just the distortion harmonics bringing the sound out, not unusual. Flangers & Choruses are pretty closely related except flanger tends to have regeneration/feedback, shorter delay time and wider sweeps.
So unless you have a short producing feedback (doubt it) with a longer delay time the chorus effect should become more prominent so you don't hear those sounds.
