"Hi, I have bought A2.1. it should be the same with yours, except the pedal. have you tried plugging it to the church's audio system? should be cool.  please share with me your fave  settings."

"Ha ha. My Guild Starfire does that and it's not a 12 string. Thanks for the McGuinn link."

"lol I love his rickenbacker 12 electric. The only thing Ive found when playing a whole set with mine is the weight of the neck keeps pulling it down and it gets annoying after a while. I got a fatter strap to help but it still wants to fall…"

"Interesting, I don't tend to hear 12 strings as chorus. I guess it's sort of chorus without the delay and low frequency oscillation. Certainly a lovely sound.   Now take your 12 string and put it through some medium compression and…"

"Zoom A2 works great!"

"lol me too so i went back to daddario phosphor bronze. ej-16 where i live even those cost 11 bucks. i cannot afford the exps they are more. and i change once a month."

"You mean chorus, or octave? If you detune one set of strings a few cents, you get a semi-chorus sound I guess."

"lol sorry i been gone for a while. I just got a martin 12 string and love it d12xae and it does have a beautiful natural chorus but i still like some effects. check out the john butler trio. his instrumental songs are amazing and he plays through…"

"Fishman Aura 16. LOVE IT!"

"I have a Behringer vAmp2 virtual amp and effects box. Cheap and cheerful but makes a good sound. I always use it with the Virtual Amplifier turned off when the acoustics are plugged in, but there are some nicely tweakable chorus and delay effects…"

"Which chorus do you use?"

"Hi all   I tend to use chorus/delay effects in the main, just to fill out the sound a touch. If you've got an understanding pastor/sound man and enough kit, and inputs on the desk it sounds lovely in stereo!   Before I started using…"

"So the Lag guitars have chorus built in? From watching the video, its a 31 band EQ with no effects or digital modeling."
