What Chief Chorus does
The plugin is built around a simulation of the MN3007 BBD chip, the component used in the compact chorus pedal that the developer describes as a faithful model of the Boss CE-2. The emulation reproduces the reduced bandwidth of the original hardware, and the developer notes that the pedal stayed in production for over 13 years.
Beyond the pedal model, Audiority added trimmers that set the maximum rate and depth, a blend trimmer for the chorus signal, and a pre/post gain setting that places the effect before or after the gain stage. Formats are VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and CLAP for Windows and macOS. The Windows build is passed around as an x64 crack and x86 crack, the repack is packed as .rar and .iso, and AAX crack and VST crack queries are common.
Key features
- BBD analog chorus simulation. The core processing models the bucket-brigade delay chain of an analog chorus, reproducing the reduced bandwidth of the original chip.
- Rate and depth controls. Rate and depth knobs adjust the modulation of the delayed signal, and the developer notes these controls sit alongside the maximum trimmers.
- Maximum rate and depth trimmers. Trimmers set the upper limits of the rate and depth controls, so the range of the knobs can be fitted to a session.
- Chorus blend trimmer. A blend trimmer sets how much of the chorus signal is mixed with the dry input.
- Pre/post effect gain. A switch places the gain stage before or after the chorus, which changes how the effect responds to input level.
