Title: good combo?
Post by: mia on March 26, 2006, 12:21:51 AM
This probly sounds so stupid...but would a little bit of delay, slight bit of charus, medium reverb and mild phaser work with each other if used at the same time while playing clean? :lol:

It'd probably sound a bit messy I would have thought. Best to keep it to one modulation effect at a time.

In my experience: It's the chorus & phaser that will interact with each other in strange ways.
You can try using them in stereo, with the chorus on one side, and the phaser  on the other, but you will have serious comb filtering as a result.

However, my personal opinion is: If that's the sound you're hearing in your head  ... go for it and see for yourself how it sounds.

The delay may overpower the reverb (or vice versa), same with the chorus. I do think that having all that going off at the same time might sound a bit messy, like 38thB says, but there's nothing wrong with experimenting and you may stumble on a tone that'll be exactly what you want.

:D Never be scared to experiment with sounds. As one of the guys said you might stumble onto something.

I personnaly like the sound of a Chorus & Delay sound on a clean guitar sound......very usefull sound.

hmmm, with my setup, the chorus and delay dont seem to like each other that much. It makes my guitar sound slightly confused....(not necessarily a bad thing)

I use delay and reverb together all the time - subtle differences in the way each works.  The dealy is more like an echo (repeats your note) and the reverb adds space to the whole thing.
