last year or so there was a discussion about these pedals and somebody posted a scan of an old boss ad/catalog showing the difference between the chorus, phaser and flanger. does anybody remember where that was? i tried the search but it didn't come up.
thanks,
leonard |

| Do you mean what the actual pedals look like, or what the actual effect does? |

I know exactly what you mean, I expected it to be on the Bossarea site, but I couldn't find it either.
It has to be one of those old 80's magazines or ad's.
Bossarea, Help!  |

As far as i was aware phasing came about from a attempt to recreate the rotary speaker effect..flanging and chorus came about from 'accidents' with tape delay and tape recording machines .... i'm not sure what you hope to get from the tech details in an old boss catalogue as the bos pedal version of these effects are pretty basic and designed mostly for guitar in mind...IMHO these effects are best judged with the ear..i have the CH-1,CE-2,BF-2 and the PH-2 and and they all are a different effects...you can get a chorusy effect with the BF-2 but the others do what they do... the best of them to my ears is the CE-2....i can recreate the 'chorus' effect you get off an old analog tape unit with the tape delay in my Pod XT pro if i want but for me the CE-2 stays on the board.. the late Les Paul and Scotty Moore both used/use boss chorus and delay pedals to recreate the effect of their 1950's recordings when playing live... |

Oo! Oo! Oo! Mr. Kotter!
I have that ad! I used to have it framed on the wall of my office. Let me find the box it's in, and I'll scan it.
Mods: do you want a full-res version for the site? I expect I can only attach a small version for this thread.
Edit: Found it. Here's the small version:
The big one (600dpi) is 18MB. Let me know if anybody wants it.

| I always thought that Chorus was your original sound + the same a little bit 'off key'. That brings me to the next question. Why are flanger/chorus called 'modulation' effects, while delay is called 'time-based', as they are both 'time-based'. |

Chorus/flanger etc add a modulation (usually some variation of a sine wave) to the delayed signal... this is what produces the watery effect.
A delay puts no modulation on the repeat... it just repeats as-is. |

The late Les Paul and Scotty Moore and a lot of the older guys who started out using tape echoes used/use the CH-1 or some other boss chorus to give the 'chewed up tape' effect of the old tape echoes....
Zerks..i know what you mean about flanging and phasing sounding similar ..personally i've always found phasing to be a more dryer sound and flanging to be more watery sounding especially something like your EH electric mistress.... |

Franzoni you know how much i love the electric mistress.I like to keep the flanger's setting a little lite for my taste i really don't dig a very thick sound for a flanger. So i put a very slow rate of delay on the phaser a little.It almost sounded like a mistress to me. it was very close but not quite there, It seemed to have the high pingy of the filter matrix on the mistress,which i love it's a pedal i think i might keep in the line up. I think i am gonna hold it for awhile a see how it grows on me |
