17. MOD
MOD is short for Modulation. Modulation FX in a conventional setup can be in stompbox
or rack form and often connect via an amplifier's FX loop:
Chorus
Chorus and Vibrato FX apply a subtle pitch variation to the guitar signal taking your
sound from shimmering, delicate undulations to full on wobble. This can add depth
and width to clean sounds and fatten up solos. Chorus's editable parameters are:

Flanger
Flanger can produce Chorus-like sounds, but is more vivid and is harmonically more
complex. It can create weird and wonderful sonic textures, like 'jet plane' Doppler FX
and resonant metallic whooshes. Flanger's editable parameters are:
