Find some new/used stompboxes, like a Boss CE-3. No sh!t, it's dope.

i'm with you there, Curve D. For guitars and prophet~5, the CE-3 and the BF-2 flanger are the best chorus on earth (the newer choruses suck). You've gotta do a trick phase thing to cancel out the dry signal, but whatever.
Well, actually, if you can find an old Roland SBF-325 - the industrial stereo 2U rack-mounted version of both pedals, it can be even better, but the signal path is longer than the pedals and you lose a bit of high end.
Dimension D's are wonderful, and the built-in chorus on my old RS-09 string machine (stereo out with a mono external audio input!) is pretty happening... and i can pretend i'm in the cure and get the sound from The Funeral Party.
i keep playing with plug-ins, but they all seem too plasticky sounding. Believe it or not, i usually end up with a feedback loop through an Aux track (or two) with the stock digi Slap Delay (at 100% mix/filter off it has no character) going through the Filterbank F1 low-pass with a bit of resonance if necessary (the character), and feeding back into itself. You can flip the phase on the Slap plug, and do ping-pongs between two tracks for stereo. This is my formula for most delay based effects these days.
For vocals, it's still all about the Eventide.
