   Actually, I haven't considered a chorus effect as yet....or a flanger.   
   Presently, I'm using a tube overdrive simulator pedal to get some 'crunch',   
   particularly on the  electric piano voices - think The Faces "Stay With Me"   
   tune, and also a tremolo pedal, since the tremolo effect is often built into   
   electric pianos, at least the ones that use active circuits, like the   
   Wurlitzer's, and Rhodes' 'suitcase' models, and a phase shifter pedal, so   
   I'm currently using 3 effects, and they all sound nice with the acoustic   
   grand piano voice too....it's not the usual way to use them but hey, we're   
   called The Difference for a reason, many reasons actually ;)   
      
   And I'd most certainly be interested in a compressor to enhance sustain, not   
   only because my Casio CDP-130 digital piano could use more sustain, but also   
   for the DX7 for lead guitar-like parts - you should hear what it does for   
   The Crash Kings' keyboard player's D6 Clavinet...check it out:

   And I might be interested in a stereo delay pedal, particularly if it'll do   
   the stereo "ping-pong" 'suitcase' Rhodes tremolo effect - that would be   
   COOOOOOOL!
