I've used the chorus with mono capabilities tip for this.
I use a slight chorus panned hared left and the other channel panned hard right.
You can clearly hear that the centre of the stereo fields open.
It doesn't work in mono and when both channels are summed but when playing stereo it works.
The attached file is in an older firmware version but might give you some idea on how id do this.
Chorus has the same/similar effect as detune so it should work just nice. They we need an LFO changing a short delay... I tried this with the delay block and my Axe started making weird digital sounds.
How about using a phaser for this?
If you want to do an LFO on the delay you need to constrain the delay time tightly and keep it slow. That will keep it from glitching.
As far as delay time, between 1-40ms gives you what is called the Hass effect. That means that the sound will not be perceived as an echo. Too short, you get comb filtering problems. Too long you hear it as a slap back. Between 9-30 usually works out well. It really depends on the 2 tones.
You can use delay, chorus, or flanger for this easily. They are all variations of delays. Flanger has the greatest granularity but only goes to 10ms. Chorus has medium granularity w/ a delay time up to 50ms. If you does want the LFO effecting delay time on the chorus or flanger, turn the depth down to 0. IMO the Chorus is the easiest to work with, but you can get some pretty cool thing going on w/ the flanger.
Panning the delayed effect (whether delay, chorus, flanger) and dry effect hard L/R really helps (provided you are running stereo). Using 2 different tones for the dry and delay (100% mix) also help with comb filtering issues and can fill out the sonic spectrum.
Be aware, as has been noted, that what sound great in stereo can sound dreadful in mono. Even if the PA is stereo, if the room isn't set up for it right, the stereo field can collapse and you essentially get mono.
