01Onboard FX: Chorus
Select the onboard Chorus FX setting on the Champion 50XL to recreate the lush Tri-Stereo rack chorus spread
The Champion 50XL lacks a dedicated mid knob, so set the voice selector to '65 Clean for a scooped, sparkly Fender clean platform that mimics direct-to-desk studio tracking. On your Squier Telecaster, select the middle position (both pickups) to get the phase-canceling 'in-between' quack that emulates Paul Jackson Jr.'s Valley Arts Strat 2/4 position. Keep the gain low at 3 to preserve maximum clean headroom and engage the onboard Chorus to match the signature 1980s rack chorus wash.
