Duo Chrous/Flanger Options!

Hey Everyone! So I'm stuck on a question that I'm sure can be answered by someone on here :)

T.C. Electronics Stereo Chorus/Flanger

OR!

EBS Chorus.

What would you recommend for someone that likes some subtle chorus/flanger.

I use would mostly use one of these to add some colour to my playing. I don't want something too crazy. Think David Gilmours flanger on Have a cigar (flanger). and the chorus to be something along the lines to how Wooten uses it (which I know is seldom and very subtle).

What one would you recommend as I like that they have the two effects in one and are both highly recommended. Thanks!
 
I have the Zoom ms-70cdr and it does an amazing job on the chorus/flanger combination, plus it has delay and reverb effects as well.

But from your original choices: T.C. or go with the MXR that's been suggested
 
Think David Gilmours flanger on Have a cigar (flanger).

Are you referring to the effect on David's guitar or the "rumour" that he played the bass on that track as well? And in any case the effect on the bass is a Phase 90, not a flanger (although they're quite similar).

For a dual chorus/flanger I've found the MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe works quite well, although you might have to change your settings when it's in the flanger mode. I think the flanger sounds like crap the way I have it set currently but I don't want to fiddle with knobs every time I need a flanger which is why I'm still using my flanger. Although that's not to say you can't get a decent flanger sound out of it (you can), I played around with it quite a bit when I got it.
