Re: Old Yellow MXR Stereo Chorus with AC---> Has anyone used this?

Mark Hammer	Re: Old Yellow MXR Stereo Chorus with AC---> Has anyone used this? "Manual" sets the amount of initial delay. In other words, it sets the starting point of the time delay sweep. If you set the width and rate/speed controls to zero (i.e., no sweep at all), and play with the Manual control, you should get something that sounds like sweeping, but not a lot of it. That modest amount of adjustment is summer with the signal from the LFO that sweeps the tome delay chip. It's there to add different character/voicings to the chorus sound. Since the MXR unit also has sum/difference outputs, by setting width/rate to minimum and tinkering with Manual settings, your two outputs will function like the "filter matrix" setting on an Electric Mistress.
