Chorus is a modulation-based guitar effect that creates a rich, shimmering sound by splitting the guitar’s signal into two identical paths, slightly detuning one of them, and then mixing them back together. This process produces a doubling effect that simulates the sound of multiple guitars playing simultaneously, resulting in a lush, chorused tone. Chorus pedals typically offer controls for adjusting parameters such as rate (the speed of the modulation), depth (the intensity of the effect), and mix (the balance between the dry and chorused signals). By adjusting these controls, guitarists can achieve a wide range of chorus effects, from subtle, shimmering textures to lush, swirling tones. Chorus is commonly used in genres such as rock, pop, and jazz to add depth, dimension, and movement to guitar tones, creating a sense of spaciousness and richness. Popular chorus pedal models include the Boss CE-2 Chorus Ensemble, MXR M234 Analog Chorus, and TC Electronic Corona Chorus.
Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibrations into an electrical signal, which is then amplified. Unlike acoustic guitars, they rely on amplification for volume and tone shaping, making them highly versatile in genres like rock, blues, jazz, and metal. Electric guitars come in many body styles—solid, semi-hollow, and hollow—and feature different pickup configurations, neck types, and hardware. From smooth clean tones to aggressive distortion, they offer a wide sonic range, making them the backbone of modern guitar music.
A pedal is a compact device that guitarists use to alter their instrument’s sound by shaping effects such as distortion, delay, reverb, and modulation. Typically housed in a rugged enclosure and controlled by footswitches, pedals are designed to be placed on the floor for hands-free operation during playing. They can be analogue or digital, true bypass or buffered, and come in countless varieties to suit different styles and preferences. Pedals are essential tools for creating signature tones and adding colour and texture to a guitarist’s sound.

Since 1973, BOSS has pioneered the development of unique and innovative products for musicians of all styles and skill levels. From class-leading effects pedals, multi-effects, and Loop Stations to guitar synthesizers, amplifiers, and more, our trailblazing designs include several world firsts and have forever changed the way people make music.
BOSS has its roots in MEG Electronics, a dedicated guitar effects R&D division founded within Roland Corporation in 1973. The company was recast with the now-famous BOSS name and logo and introduced to the public the following year. Along with products that carry the BOSS brand, the BOSS engineering team has been involved with developing key Roland-branded guitar products since the beginning.
This spirit of innovation continues today as BOSS forges ahead with the creation of original, progressive, and impactful gear. And with plenty more exciting developments on the horizon, we’re looking forward to another half-century of musical evolution.
