Chorus effects have been around since the earliest days of audio recording and remain an important tool. The effect is relatively simple to create. It consists of a delayed signal being modulated and mixed with the original source signal, which is why the delay aspect of a chorus processor is fundamental to how that processor sounds.

Originally, chorus was created using tape technology, and there are many modern plug-ins that model this approach. But the other key analogue method, which came later, relied on banks of capacitors to create a delay line, and LFOs to create the necessary modulation. In this sort of circuit, the delay is created by passing signals from one bank of capacitors to another in response to a clock signal, thereby delaying
