So I have been staring at the Rebote 2.5 for a while (days actually!!) and it finally hit my brain. Why couldn't we modify the Rebote 2.5 to work as a Chorus as well? Just move the 1K resistor off the board to the Delay pot and wire in a DPDT switch in place of the resistor. Flip one way and the PT2399 Pin 6 goes to ground. Flip the other way and Pin 6 goes to the Delay pot.

Soliciting feedback on this idea from the majority.....

Can you expand on your idea? What LFO are you planning on using and how will you hook it up to the 2399?

Basically, a chorus is just a dry signal mixed with a MINIMAL amount of delay...right?? Since the Rebote is already set up to provide an adjustable delay out of the 2399, why could we not just set that delay to absolute minimum? According to the PT2399 spec, 1/2 ohm of resistance on Pin 6 provides 31.3ms of delay. I am thinking that we MIGHT get that down to 25ms if the pin is grounded. That should be short enough delay for chorus right?
I have also been following the Little Angel thread and it looks like that design was based on this principal so this is not at all original, but as I said before, I am soliciting info and feedback from the experts!

Chorus isn't just about mixing with minimal delay, that minimal delay is also modulated by a LFO. That's why on some choruses you can hear a pronounced wobble when you set the depth high.
