How to use PHASER, FLANGER & CHORUS

[@The_Ricardo_Sa]

Euge, your videos are the best! I can stop watching one an actually understand how things work in a practical, working musician's way. I am watching them all! Thank you!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Oh thanks! Really glad to hear this!

[@quickdrawmcgraw3567]

I love putting a Flanger in the effect loop qith a very subtle flange (almost in a straight doubler config) and it sounds heavy af, thank you Dimebag for that bit of inspiration.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah it’s a cool trick also! 👌

[@AndreaTurini_theAND]

Finally someone using modulation before and after the gain channel, there are too many people showing only the "correct" way ( modulation after distortion). Thanks Euge!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! 😎👍

[@allboutthemojo]

@@EugeValovirta230V wow. This debunks all the popular advice floating on the internet which says to always put modulation in the effects loop. Flanger and Phaser sound better before the distortion as you have shown. Thanks!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

There are really no rules. If it sounds good it’s good but in general I always use phaser before overdrive (pedal) and flanger after (overdrive pedal) but both in front of the amp 👌😎. Same with chorus but sometimes that in the effect loop. Wherever it does the best what I want it to do. Mostly it’s in front.

[@allboutthemojo]

@@EugeValovirta230V I will try it.

[@fergeraci]

I love every single of your videos man! Thanks for sharing!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Glad you like them! Thanks!

[@INDUSTRYInc]

Thanks, Euge for examples of magic sound! Power, solid, fires! 🔥🔥🔥

[@EugeValovirta230V]

My pleasure! Thanks!

[@luisalextorres]

love this video. i have a mxr flanger in my fx loop and i noticed the results sounded way better when plugged after the guitar. i would say the same especially for my phaser in my alesis quadraverb ( ot the best phaser sound but not terrible surprisingly.) i switched my vintage tc sfc to the newer pedal form and those seem to be the best sounding through an fx loop. i guess its safe to assume phase/flanger go before and chorus to taste. thanks for the video! your results pretty much confirmed similar results i had speculated you would have

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man! I use Phaser before overdrive (SD-1 usually) right after wah and Fla & Cho after od. Sometimes Fla before Cho and sometimes after but it doesn’t really matter ’cos I hardly use them at the same time. And I use Fla very occasionally anyway 😎.

[@triclone123]

I needed to know this and you saved me a lot of time. Excellent stuff. Thank you!

[@claudiogomez-sanchezvergar1501]

Hey! You are the coolest guy doing this! You really enjoy it! I have a jcm800 89 (no loop) and idk how should i put my pedals (tunner-dunlop rotovibe-morley wah-ts9-Spark miniboost-carbon copy-mxr90-decimator)

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! 🙏😎 I’d put those pedals in this order: tuner-wah-rotovibe-mxr90-ts9-spark boost-decimator-delay( dly in the loop if you’re using amp gain as your main gain and ts only to boost it, if you’re using these into a clean amp the delay works great in front of the amp - check out my video about delay 😉). And decimator before dly so that it doesn’t cut off the delay tails 👍

[@claudiogomez-sanchezvergar1501]

Euge Valovirta thanks!! Amp gain as my Main gain, no loop in the amp :(, i clean with guitar volume and delay Only for solo

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Ok cool! Yeah the only con with old Marshall’s is that they don’t have effect loop and as you’ve probably noticed that delay sounds quite chaotic in front of an overdriven amp.

[@ingesnack1799]

Great playing!

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks!

[@Poly6Groove]

Great demonstration man 🤘🏽

[@matthias7455]

Cool video. It was awesome that you played the green tinted sixties mind intro. I've always wanted to learn that. Sweet axe, too.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Yeah it’s a great song and ”Lean Into It” is a great album. When I was a kid I learned all of the songs from the album and somehow that lick just came from somewhere 😎👍.

[@matthias7455]

@@EugeValovirta230V I always loved that album too. You have a great channel. I really enjoy it.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cool! Glad to hear that! 🙏🤘

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

I cannot believe I did not see this video but I’m having trouble using time effects in my amplifiers but this video definitely helps out a lot.

[@marcusdamberg3888]

Thank you for this , i did not like the way my Phaser 90 sounded in the loop ,,,, the chorus i have in the loop and i like it , 👍🏻

Thank you brother

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Any time 🙏😎.

[@aaaargl]

Those freakin D-Tunas! Always need a little readjustment. I like to use my Chorus in the loop and only for the clean stuff. My flanger is in front of every gainstage, but with very moderate settings.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Indeed 😊.

[@PainterDans]

I took the dtuna off mine, could never get it working right, but im not touring so i didnt try too much tinkering since i dont really need it, pissed me off and off it went

[@EugeValovirta230V]

😁

[@ArnoldSchmidt]

Great video. But, let's throw a fuzz in the mix. Let's assume Chorus in the loop. Would you put a Phaser and Flanger before or after Fuzz? Thanks.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Usually I have Phaser in the beginning of the effect chain right after wah and before any ODs etc. and Flanger after but having said that it all depends what I’m looking for. If it sounds good, and I get the results I want, it’s good. No matter in which order they are 😊.

[@drloqutis2492]

You can't use the same settings in both instances, they do sound different but if set correctly they will all work great in the effects loop.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

👌

[@destroy4977]

@11:50 Overdriven preamp w/ phaser in the fx loop (Euge with squinched face...smiles)..."Well...it sounds like shit!!!" Haha! Good examples of licks and riffs most people watching will know (EVH, Dime, Zakk, etc.)...informative and fun video...good stuff!

Were you running any delay or reverb

[@monkeymen6122]

Hello Euge, I’ve just found out your channel and thank you for all these nice videos and tips. Just a quick question: where would you throw an SD-1 and a DS-1 (used as boosts) with a BF-3 with an already dirty amp (BF-3 not in the loop). Thank you. 🙏🏻

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks man! Glad to hear! I like to have flanger after the drive pedals and phaser in front 👌.

[@monkeymen6122]

Chorus evh the best. Try....

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yeah it’s a good one too.

[@matthiasbarth6355]

Thanks Euge, very informative as always. Some years ago you made a video about your large pedalboard: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3KxlH1qjN55ja8 Back then you seem to use the flanger after the Friedman. Was there a reason using the flanger after the distortion? Any songs you needed this kind of tone?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! It soundsa bit different so sometimes I have it pre and sometimes post depending what kind of sound I’m looking for on any given day 😎.

[@rjc7289]

The best way to use any of these pedals is as a doorstop or a paperweight! LOL!
