Ensemble Generator

I was looking at the COTK 1670 and fell in love with the sound, so I wondered if anything like this exists in SDIY land.

If anyone knows of anything that will do this, please let us know.

If you just want a BBD chorus, it would probably be much cheaper, and far easier to buy a commercial analog chorus, like a $20 Behringer analog chorus and repurpose it's PCB behind a panel. Behringer also make a very cheap Roland Dimension D clone pedal.

Simple chorus is a pretty different effect from the triple chorus ensemble though, I think. Besides Juergen's and the COTK, there's this one other analog triple chorus that, to me, sounds the best:

Unlike the others it has panel control over each delay line modulation speed. It's a pretty impressive effect.

I bought an Omni "Phaser" PCB off ebay a couple years ago very cheap, I haven't gotten it working yet, but I plan to do something with it eventually. I see these PCBs come up relatively frequently when people are parting-out dead Omnis.
