Chorus Guitar Tones

How to get a chorus tone — and 84 famous songs that use it, each with researched amp settings and gear you can adapt to your rig.

Dialing chorus: Chorus adds shimmer and width by detuning a copy of your signal. Low RATE (slow wobble) + moderate DEPTH gives the lush 80s clean (Nirvana's "Come as You Are", The Cure); higher rate gets a seasick warble. Subtle on rhythm, wider on clean leads.
