Jeff Schroeder plays the Aurelius Tri-Voice Chorus | EarthQuaker Devices

Jeff Schroeder, guitarist from The Smashing Pumpkins, demos the Aurelius Tri-Voice Chorus in a full band setting with Vice Cooler on drums and the incredible Emily Retsas on bass. Jeff composed three pieces inspired by the Aurelius to showcase its three voices and wide variety of sonic textures. It’s super rad to get a glimpse of Jeff’s method of approach using chorus effects and how each mode on the Aurelius depicts different styles of playing.
“It’s not a very transparent pedal, as soon as you turn it on it has a distinct sound and vibe. And like many EQD pedals, it has a very distinct place in the pantheon of other chorus pedals, and I really like that about it; it has a unique flavor to it,” says Jeff.
We hope you enjoy this demo as much as we did!

I love how Jeff explains his pedal order, key in getting that sound. Not just what he uses, but how 👍

I really appreciate how thoughtfully Jeff articulated his approach to the music and the use of the pedal. That was very helpful to me as a learning guitarist. All that, and then getting to hear him and the band rock out - great video!
