Octave Pedals and Chorus Pedals for Steel

Post by lockpick1 »

Has anyone tried or used the Boss type Octave and Chorus Pedals with a non pedal steel? Any pros or cons? Thanks, STEVE

I use a Boss CE2 chorus pedal regularly whenever I want that sort of sound. It thickens the overall sound of the guitar, not always what you want when playing with others. Used properly, it can be very effective.
Like any other good effect (distortion, overdrive, flange, etc.) a little bit goes a long way.
