Very Exact
I really love the Roland Studio D & used Bruce Swedien's one which was his favorite...
It really is a smooth operator for some classy 'subliminal' chorus effect
This is the closest you will get to that without forking out for a REAL one
Artist usage
Add artist
Used for the guitar tracks on "Beggin", as described by Alessandro Marcantoni in this October 2021 Sound on Sound interview.
“I kept the bass in place with the UAD 1176LN E, and it also has a send to the Room aux, which has a UAD Ocean Way room reverb. I added compression to the guitar tracks with the UAD LA‑2A S, and there are sends to the Hall aux, with a UAD Lexicon 224, on the two main guitar tracks. The two guitar tracks that I pulled out for the B sections have sends to the Hall and to the Chorus aux, which has a UAD Studio D Stereo Chorus.”
