Adding Breadth to the
Sounds (2 x 2 Chorus)
Chorus can add a broader, thicker effect to sounds.
The chorus used in the AD-3 is a band-splitting
stereo type for acoustic guitars. Chorus can be
applied simultaneously to both bass and treble
ranges in both left and right channels.
You use the Chorus pedal on the AD-3 to toggle the
chorus effects on and off.
1. Press the Chorus pedal.
