Chorus

Chorus is a modulation-based guitar effect that creates a rich, shimmering sound by splitting the guitar’s signal into two identical paths, slightly detuning one of them, and then mixing them back together. This process produces a doubling effect that simulates the sound of multiple guitars playing simultaneously, resulting in a lush, chorused tone. Chorus pedals typically offer controls for adjusting parameters such as rate (the speed of the modulation), depth (the intensity of the effect), and mix (the balance between the dry and chorused signals). By adjusting these controls, guitarists can achieve a wide range of chorus effects, from subtle, shimmering textures to lush, swirling tones. Chorus is commonly used in genres such as rock, pop, and jazz to add depth, dimension, and movement to guitar tones, creating a sense of spaciousness and richness. Popular chorus pedal models include the Boss CE-2 Chorus Ensemble, MXR M234 Analog Chorus, and TC Electronic Corona Chorus.

Used

Buying used guitars, effects pedals, amplifiers, and other music gear in the UK offers a treasure trove of opportunities for musicians looking to expand their sound palette without breaking the bank. One key item you might want to buy is a used electric guitar. Vintage models or high-end brands like Fender, Gibson, or PRS often maintain excellent quality over the years and can be found at significantly lower prices than new ones. These guitars often come with a history and character that new instruments lack, offering unique tonal qualities and a distinctive feel that can inspire your playing. Additionally, many used guitars come with upgrades or modifications that can enhance their playability and sound, providing added value.

Effects pedals are another great category for purchasing used. Classic pedals like the Boss DS-1 Distortion, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, or the Ibanez Tube Screamer have stood the test of time and are sought after for their distinctive sounds. Buying these used can save you money while still delivering the iconic tones that have shaped countless recordings. Used multi-effects units, like the Line 6 Helix or Boss GT-1000, can also be found at more affordable prices and offer a wide range of sounds in a single package. Amplifiers, particularly tube amps from brands like Marshall, Vox, or Fender, are another smart buy in the used market. These amps are known for their rich, warm tones and durability, and purchasing them second-hand can provide you with professional-quality sound without the hefty price tag. By opting for used gear, you can access a wider variety of high-quality equipment that might otherwise be out of reach, allowing you to build a versatile and inspiring setup.

BOSS has its roots in MEG Electronics, a dedicated guitar effects R&D division founded within Roland Corporation in 1973. The company was recast with the now-famous BOSS name and logo and introduced to the public the following year. Along with products that carry the BOSS brand, the BOSS engineering team has been involved with developing key Roland-branded guitar products since the beginning.

This spirit of innovation continues today as BOSS forges ahead with the creation of original, progressive, and impactful gear. And with plenty more exciting developments on the horizon, we’re looking forward to another half-century of musical evolution.
