    Hey do you think it'd be possible to use a vibrato pedal and a chorus pedal later in the order? Or do you think the chorus pedal would kill the feel of the vibrato?

    • @DougHanson
      @DougHanson  4 роки тому

      DreamySteezy Personally I like the sound of Vibrato a lot better than Chorus and I think it gives a better “warble” effect. But go ahead and try the Chorus after the Vibrato and see what you think! Maybe having some subtle Chorus would add a nice depth to the sound.
