The Boss CH-1 Super Chorus is a long-running stereo chorus known for a clear, creamy, and thick sound with a notably versatile EQ. Rather than leaning warm or overly bright, it carves out a darker, more neutral tonality, with an EQ knob that swings from a modern, bright, shimmery chorus on one side to a subtle, warm, CE-2-style tone on the other. That flexibility lets it produce nearly any chorus imaginable, from bright jangle to dark, thick warble, making it a reliable, balanced all-rounder. With Rate, Depth, EQ, and Level controls and stereo outputs, it has appeared on countless recordings across genres. Its neutral, adjustable voice and stereo spread suit rock, pop, indie, funk, and ambient players wanting a dependable, flexible chorus that can sit subtly in a mix or wash the tone in shimmer.
The Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress is the classic analog flanger that defined David Gilmour tones between 1977 and 1983 and remained a pedalboard staple for decades. It ranges from subtle, tape-ish flanging to extreme rotary-style swirl, with a slightly jet-like voice carrying a hint more midrange and low end, and the Deluxe version adds a noise filter for quieter operation than the original. Its Range control sets the modulation width by lowering the frequency range while keeping the upper frequencies consistent, which gives the effect its distinctive treble shimmer and bite, while the Filter Matrix switch freezes the LFO mid-sweep to hold the flanging cancellations in place for unusual, tunable metallic tones. Famous for shimmery, ethereal sweeps, it suits classic rock, psychedelic, post-punk, and ambient players, though it is known for a noticeable volume drop that often needs a gain leveler.
