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.
Guitar FX (effects) refer to the wide range of pedals and processors that shape and manipulate a guitar’s signal to create different sounds. From classic distortion and overdrive to reverb, delay, modulation, and pitch-shifting, effects are at the heart of a guitarist’s creative toolkit. Whether analogue or digital, stompbox or multi-effects unit, Guitar FX allow players to express mood, texture, and dynamics in unique ways. Used thoughtfully, they can transform a simple riff into something atmospheric, aggressive, or entirely otherworldly.
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.

The Hoshino Gakki company began in 1908 as the musical instrument sales division of the Hoshino Shoten, a bookstore chain. Hoshino Gakki decided in 1935 to make Spanish-style acoustic guitars, at first using the “Ibanez Salvador” brand name in honor of Spanish luthier Salvador Ibáñez, and later simply “Ibanez”.
In the 1970s, the Nisshin Onpa company who owned the Maxon brand name, developed and began selling a series of effect pedals in Japan. Hoshino Gakki licensed these for sale using the name Ibanez outside Japan. These two companies eventually began doing less and less business together until Nisshin Onpa ceased manufacturing the TS-9 reissue for Hoshino Gakki in 2002.
