Cool, thanks! I'll check it out.

The Boss options are limited but very solid if you mostly want a subtler effect.
PS-3: two voices, 0-30 cents
PS-5: one voice, 5-30 cents
PS-6: two voices, 5-15 cents (or up to 20 cents if you use a single voice)
HR-2: two voices, fixed (unknown cent value)

I've been looking at the TC Mimiq for this type of sound actually. Not a lot of the full-sized one on the market right now though...

So, 100 cents is equal to a semi-tone? Is that correct?

Yup!

I have never dug the Rainbow Machine. Even when it's not doing the acid-trip cascading rainbow thing I still can't get into it

I think the Rainbow Machine sounds great at lots of stuff it does.

Luckily for you, there're plenty of other pedals that can do a frozen chorus-type sound.

Yup!

Have a PS-5 and can confirm the detune setting makes a good, subtle chorus effect.

Those old bosses will give your tone a blowjob

For sure, so many people love it! I don't know why, it's just never been one I've felt compelled to try. Perhaps I should and be surprised?

For what it's worth, I like the V1 Rainbow Machine better. I think they got it right the first time.

Good to know! How do they differ?

I think the V1 sounds warmer and has less headroom.The V2 has more range on the controls. It also has the silent switching Earthquaker is currently using.

I think it's just a personal preference thing that I like the V1 better.

The Keeley 30ms seems to be one of the best chorus effects for non-chorus lovers.

The TC Mimiq is also good for enhancing sounds without adding movement. It will definitely give your signal more presence.

EHX Analogizer

I've always liked the Digitech whammy detune. It's not got the depth of the BOSS, just a static one voice detune, but it worked well for me. Unfortunately the mini ricochet version doesn't have that, and the whammy is a bit big to get just for this Plus some of these other options sound cooler.

This is how I use the BitQuest currently. Pitch shifter, one voice up by a few cents, mix to taste. It's only on one channel so I can go wet/dry, but usually it's not full wet. Haven' felt the need to do two-voice detune although you could also do that. I keep it set that way also because it corresponds more to my other fave setting; full wet, very short delay for fake doubling without modulation.

Other than that I did get a PS-5 recently but haven't explored the detune that much, since I already have the sound on lock.
