Hi,

Hm, the Meistersinger I hear is nice and must try at some point.
Ah, well yes there may be an MP chorous later this year, much depends on time and with this effect yes I sure had chorous back in the 80's early 90's but just dropped that beginning of 90's.........just ran out of songs needing chorous. Hm, one thing I did enjoy but never had much use for musically was putting a chorous ahead of distortion.....nice moving vibrating tone.
Focus is needed on just what type of chorous I'd like to make or I will not understand.

Have fun
BJ

HI,
Not to sway you from making a chorus or take away from the focus of it either, as I would surely check one out,,,,But maybe a flanger might be more useful? Or as mentioned before a chorus with some flanging possiblities. Not sure if they are in the same modulation family or not, Or if its possible without making it to complex?
I realize I use my flanger a decent bit, but dont currently even own a chorus pedal. Im sure others might feel different, just my .02. . :)
take care,
cabo

... hmmm I think the most useful choruses Ive had had blend and tone controls as getting the mix just right is key - chorus can sound too fake and syrupy sometimes,,,, so having those would be great.....

The meister has a level control that works very nicely, but no tone control. Might be my rig, but I haven't even thought of having a tone control with this one. It's voiced very well, and I think the combining the level, depth and rate controls helps dial in a variety of useful tones.

So, Bjorn, one of the staples of your pedals is the minimalist design with knobs and the impeccable voicing that your "hardwire" to the pedals. I trust you can voice a chorus suitably and still design with no more than three knobs. If you take this on, good luck and I'll be watching and waiting!

Hi,

Thank you Beckanon, for the confidence. I believe I shall give it a try just need time to form thoughts and define the sound.

There are more MP models coming and they may get a chorous design too, but they have allready three new models to work on besides LGW,MRD, and DBD.......

Have fun
