You can get some nice effects with faster chorus settings. Very Budd/Eno. I think they used the modulation from a Lexicon Prime Time in their work, with a medium speed LFO, around 3-4 Hz, and ran this in feedback with an EMT-250.

Sean,

I've enjoyed reading your posts on the subject of artificial reverb in these many threads, thanks for contributing..! What's your background in DSP? ( EDIT: I read your blog.. we must speak! )

Every track on those Eno / Budd records used a different signal chain.. nothing to my ears as warbley as 3-4hz.. plenty of modulations and recirculated signal routings, to be sure. Possible the most interesting soundscapes I've encountered, though!!! I'd love to see a gearlist for the "Ambient 2" and "The Pearl".. right? I have some doubts about the use of an EMT 250 simply due to it's scarcity and price (given the budget of those records). In a related bit of trivia, the 250 has some very very slow modulation in it's algo. A remarkably effective and simple algo it is (4 delay / diffusor stages)...
