If I still had a second working foot for pedal usage, I'd be with you, sir.

As, well, the CE-1/JC circuit is my "must have" - whether it's in a pedal or the amp, and the vibrato even moreso.

The OGs are awesome, haven't heard as much good about the new ones

Strymon Ola does both. You can save a favorite setting, which you can select via footswitch.

Set your fav chorus and retain it to memory, then set it to your favorite vibrato (or vice versa). just switch between the two with the footswitch.

The chorus and the vib are very tasty on this. Plus some other neat controls to boot.

Yea I mentioned that one in my OP, but no one chimed in on it, haha. It's the pricier of the available options I've come across so far, but certainly meets the requirements! Thanks for the suggestion.

It's not doing what you are looking for… but I can't wait for the Caroline Somersault Chorus/Vibrato.

Yes, that's one way to do it. You set up A,B,C... presets and scrolls through them sequentially.
Or you can make the switch act as typical on/off but you wouldn't be able to scroll through presets, you would have to press the small arrow switches surrounding the main switch.
There are some mods to add external switches and stuff, but IMO those zoom are better to have them in a desk setup.
Thanks, I'll look into that one some more! I remember there being a bit of buzz around here with people liking those.

:thumb: There's a good chance I'll do something like that with the CE, Small Clone, Moog, etc. I'll keep an eye out for a cheap Retro Sonic like popvulture recommended too, as that's what it is already. Seems cheaper route than some of the others I've found, like the Ola, and analog.

All of this has got me thinking about making my own thing though really :idea: The views to responses may suggest I'm one of few people interested in something like this but... :idk: :snax:
Before even reading this thread, I was like, "make one, sucka!" :p

A Way Huge mini Blue Hippo MkIII arrived in the mail yesterday. It does both chorus and vibrato equally well with minimal noise, though there is a bit of a volume boost. My favorite chorus/vib texture of all time is the vintage vibraflange edition EHX Clone Theory, which would still be on my board if it were less hissy and bulky.

Would it perhaps interest you and perhaps Jero too that I have a couple of 1590B boards for the vintage Clone Theory I designed with a built in switchable noise gate that I was going to release (before changing my mind)? Has the feedback from the Vibra-Flange on a knob too (originally negative feedback, the knobs allows positive or negative) so it can be dialled in to taste and an extended rate range.
