Can the orbit do chorus?

From what I can tell, chorus and flanging is fairly similar in the way it is created. Wondering if a versatile flanger like the strymon orbit could do chorus sounds?

chorus is just a form of flanging with a longer delay time... a lot of flangers at their most extreme delay settings and no feedback (or regen if you will) can produce a lush chorus, some don't have enough delay time available to really get into chorus turf though. Its really a fine line though and one man's flange is another's chorus. A delay pedal with modulation can get flange and chorus sounds as well because all these effects, vibrato, chorus, flange are delay based effects with the time modulated to produce a dopler vibrato effect. Phasers aren't even that different, although there's some extra stuff going on there.

rule of thumb is that fkange will be about 10 to 20ms whereas chorus is over 30ms... flangers typically are one delay line with the ability to add more repeats, that's regen or feedback, while chorus will sometimes have more than 1 delay line but no feedback.

I was actually recording a friend's band yesterday and we wanted a flangey chorusy effect on one guitar line. We didn't have any modulation effects at his studio apart from the chorus in his space echo and that wasn't doing it for him, so we just created the flange with a delay pedal set to minimum delay with some modualtion and a hint of repeats. Sounded like a mild flange/chorus type thing, really good. We kinda split the difference going for the longer chorus delay time with a subtle warble, but we gave it a taste of flanger feedback. I thik we wound up using a strymon another dude had left laying around. So like, any fully featured modulating delay with the ability to get down to single digit delay times can cover all your delay, chorus, flange and rudimentary doubling needs. Any flanger that can get out to 30ms delay times can be a chorus. A chorus generally can't do every flange sound though because dedicated choruses lack regen. Even if you can get the delay time really low the chorus lacks the ability to add repeats.

and now you know, and knowing is half the...

battle? haha thanks

I think the other half is fighting, so whatever you're better at

maybe ill take fightning then ;)
