fx23, On the back of the unit is a depth knob, a small shaft with no knob on it. Turn that up. A footswitch is not needed for the chorus or delay. If that doesn’t work, I would suspect a problem with the front panel switch.

The depth control on the back is the only adjustment for the chorus on this unit.

hi, i recently bought a boss dm100, when i switch to chorus mode i cant hear any difference in sound, is the chorus on when the delay is on too? or maybe it needs to be turn on via a footswitch – which i dont have… any ideas?

This is just the best sounding Delay machine ever if you ask me!
Looks very good too.It reminds me of the knobs and buttons of an old Beatle car…

I have one. The analog delay gets READ dark, real quick. It’s much darker than my 1980 Ibanez delay. But still great.

The chorus is like unto the original Boss chorus. The only control is depth. Speed is preset. The waveform is a square wave. But the sound is unique and compelling. I used it with my bass for years.

Scott loves his effects pedals. He’s got a bunch of them routed into the modular via the Stilton Adapter http://www.theharvestman.org/1979.php. And this is now part of the chain. He’s also since gotten the DM300 as well!

I’ve never heard of one of these before thanks for the tip! What do you use it on mostly? Guitar, drums or vocals?

I love analog bucket brigade delays. I’m the proud owner of an SR&D Stereo Delay made by Tom Sholz back in the late 80s. It was kind of an odd unit at the time since everyone had moved into the digital realm for delays and reverbs at this point. They’re a bit rare, but worth seeking out.

Very nice… I wonder if Scott used it for research.

I used to have one of these. Sold it to Scott Jaeger of the Harvestman though. Set the feedback to self oscillation and run a drum machine through it. =o] I used to do that with the 707. Get the input volume just right and you get a cool pumping sound.
