Well what are they. I'm getting a marshall MG50DFX for christmas and I know all about it except chorus, flange and reverb. What are they? No funny guys on the flange.

Chorus creates a sound similar to two guitars playing or a 12 string.

Reverb creates echo.

Flange splits the signal in two, leaving one as it is, and messing with the other one, making it "wobbly". Kinda like putting your hand on a tape to slow it down.

Thanks

. But one more thing...I've a distortion pedal and if I used it on my new amp would it sound the same or better? My current one is 10w and new one is gonna be 50w.

Sounds to me your buying an amp you have never even tried,not think thats a bit ya know silly ?

Regardless ive used the amp that version and a 100 watt version.Good amp..em as for your distortion pedal.. what kind of pedal is it ? It will sound louder most likely.. ;P

But the Marshall has two o/d's which you can use..if are using your pedal best to keep it on the clean channel unless you want a **** over the top garbeld type distortion..(not necessiarily but the Marshall o/d's are always pretty kickin) *shrug*

I have a contact in whales who can get it cheaper so I wen't into town a few days ago and tryed it out and told him to buy it. I would have guessed the quality of the pedal would increase but that doesn't matter the amp distortion is better. My pedal is a mt-2 metal zone
