Chorus
The chorus pedal creates characteristic "floating" sounds which one
typically recognizes from guitar or synth pads. You can add acoustic
"depth" to an instrument to add more power to the sound or to
create the illusion that it exists multiple times.
The chorus sound is created by using the so-called Doppler effect.
You probably have noticed this phenomenon daily life: The sound of
an approaching ambulance sounds higher than when it is moving
away. This effect is a result of the speed of the sound which first
increases and then decreases, thus also changing the sound pitch. If
there were a second siren at your location, an oscillation would
develop between both sounds (just like when two instruments are out
of tune).
Chorus also splits the signal in at least two: direct sound and effects
part. The double effect is created by a short signal delay of the effect.
This delay is within the range of 10-30 ms (as in this one), this means
that it is short enough to be perceived as an "echo". The times would
also be similarly short if you were to double a guitar track for
