Yep, the poster child for univibe!
Along with the master and his Band of Gypsies live stuff!

But like anything else that you really love the sound of, ya gotta be careful not to overdo, or over-use, it.
Back in the 90's I used one of those Marshall Valvestate combos for a time, I think it was the 8280. Mainly used it as a clean platform for wah and phaser and would only use the chorus as a boost/flavor for leads.Soooo much terrible chorus stuff in the 80s. The Edge had everyone overusing dotted 8th delays
and Andy Summers did the same for chorus.
I always thought that Pat Travers had a cool dirty sound with flanger/chorus.
I never "learned" ring mod.No love for ring modulation? When you want weird, except no substitutes.

What the secret to getting good sounds out of them - do you tune the pitch to taste?
Bought a really old vintage EHX Frequency Analyzer (with Ram's Head logo!) a few years ago, for 30€ at a pawn shop, because they didn't know what they had.
Didn't like it at all, and sold it on to a collector for a pretty good price that made both sides happy.
I've never used it in a live, pedal board setup (even though I have the sound in a BitQuest). But I have used it in post as a subtle effect in a mix. It's a very interesting effect that can do a lot of things when you start tweaking.No love for ring modulation? When you want weird, except no substitutes.

Been a minute since I listened to them, thanks for the reminder.Alan Morse from Spock's Beard uses one all the time. Check him out sometime.
