Meistersinger Analog Chorus
The Meistersinger pays homage to the best analog chorus pedals made
in the past. But the Meistersinger is not a digital model; it is a true
analog delay chip chorus, like the originals. It is not an imitation;
it's the real thing. The reasons why analog chorus -- or any analog time based effect --
sounds better than digital are numerous. But the main reason is that
analog produces a slightly detuned tone. It's therefore more like having
another guitarist playing along with you, rather than the perfect
replica of a digital effect. 1-THE INVISIBLE COMPANION Chorus was invented to make believe you are not alone. It mimes two
musicians playing the same thing at the same time, thus enriching the
tone, as in a choir. Most digital chorus tends to kill the punch and
dynamics, an even more obvious defect when used with electric guitar.
The model processors are plagued with this same problem, because of the
difficulty of digitally encoding the dynamics of your playing in real
time. 2-THE DROP ZONE It is quite strange nobody ever evokes this simple strategy. When you
manipulate hand-tweakable chorus effects ( like the old MXR rack or ADA
Pitchtraq) you notice that the chorus effect sounds twice as good with a
negative detune than a positive one. The reason could be a deeper body
of the resulting mix or a more complicated comb harmonics effect. This
feature was incorporated in the Meistersinger to give it the best chorus
sound possible. $139.95
