Well, I don’t own a Micro Chorus. I did listen to a quick demo of it. But I thought it’d be fun to try, by using the published specifications alone. First, I thought about using the various Chorus algorithm TYPEs (probably ORGANIC), Mod Delay, SpaceTime … all doable. But why not the latest ‘n’ greatest TriceraChorus algo?
Expression pedal mapping simulates the single RATE control:
- RATE – 0.25 Hz. to 7.5 Hz.
- DEPTH Center – I dropped the extreme 90 depth to 50 for fast RATEs.
- DELAY – Best guess with reversing 6.8 mS to 4.2 mS at faster RATEs.
TONE – Also best guess at HI CUT 65 being close to the 20 Hz. – 4.5 kHz. frequency response [delay signal].
OUT LEVEL – a little boost with +3 dB. 6 dB sounded a bit too much.
I left the effect pretty strong [CHORUS MIX 75; DEPTH C] to preserve that pitch wobble. Adjust to taste. TEMPO, DETUNE MIX, DETUNE, and ENV MIX aren’t used in these presets.
The other expression pedal extreme (at full Toe) below:
The easiest way to get huge is to drop out DEPTH C, and bring up DEPTH L & DEPTH R; sweeping 240 degrees apart. Again, I tied those two parameters to the expression pedal, so they weren’t as deep at faster RATEs.
