If you look at the chorus of the JX-8P and JX-10, you will find a limiter in the input for the BBD-lines. (see http://www.florian-anwander.de/roland_string_choruses/JX-8P_schem.jpg). Appearently the roland engineers found that the JX-3P can overdrive its chorus; assumingly they wanted to avoid that without making the sound/noise ratio worse. This limiter is not(!) in the signal path of the dry signal that will be mixed with the BBD signal, so it might be that percussive sounds with chorus are more "incisive" at the JX-8P than on the 3P. I can't test this, as I do not own a 8P. But I simulated it using a Kord SDD-1200, which worked like the two BBD lines. The delay was fed by the compressed original signal, but the output mix (which is the chorus then) was done with the uncompressed signal. Playing this with piano like sounds or similar was quite stunning. Crisp attack, but smooth and wide hold phase. Florian -- http://www.florian-anwander.de
