chorus flange question

[NoOsH]

i was just wondering what the difference between a chorus and a flange is. i am asking this because one of my friends has a flange pedal and i want one for bass. and i mentioned something about i also wanted a chorus pedal and he said that if you have a flange you dont need a chorus and vice-versa. so is he telling me the truth or what, cuz personall i dont think they are the same sounding....

Chorus is very lush, kind of multiplies your bass i think.... im real bad at describing thing's.. but, Flanger alter's the sound wave...
Ibanez makes a chorus/flanger pedal....

go to bossus.com or digitech.com and you can hear demo's of chorus and flanger, you'll get a better feel for them... :thumb:

Chorus pedals make your playing sound as though there are up to 16 people playing in unison, thats the idea anyway.

Not sure about flangers though.

Once upon a time, someone was fooling around and found that if you made two tapes of someone playing, then played them back at the same time, it would have an interesting sound because you could never get them perfectly in sync.

This was developed into a process where they'd record the instrument, then make an exact copy. The two tapes would be played at the same time and recorded onto a new tape. While doing this, the recording engineer would slow down one tape, then the other so that the timing of the two tapes would shift. He did this by slowing the reel down by holding his finger against the edge of the reel (the flange).

Modern day flangers are designed to mimic this effect :)

i think that a flanger can do way more thing than a chorus, but flange is my favorite effect so i might be a bit bised

i have an example of a bass with a chorus and a bass with a flanger in my soundclick:

for a chorus and flanger, listen to maximum force, for flanger with overdrive, listen to raging star storm.
