I have one of these: https://www.boss.info/us/products/mo-2/

Here's a better demo than in the link above (no cheesy voice-over!)

It's hard to describe what it sounds like -- anywhere from a chorus to a octave divider, depending on how you set it.

I'm intrigued to know if there are any VSTs out there that do a similar thing?

Of course, it's a bit hard to know exactly how it actually works, but basically I think it's mostly to do with emphasising harmonic overtones via fourier transform, in other words it's a kind of extreme "intelligent" EQ.

I'm on a bit of a crazy mission to achieve decent emulations of all the pedals in my hardware guitar rig (and the amps actually)... at this point the boss MO-2 is the only one I can't seem to crack!

I suppose in the fullness of time, somebody's bound to bring out an emulation of it, but in the meantime.... just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

... so far, found this: https://freevstplugins.net/chromadsp-harmonicboost/

similar territory, but not quite the same -- does make a nice guitar effect though.

I’d try one of the Eventide plugins, the Quadvox or Octavox.

Thanks! That is a truly amazing harmonizer... sounds absolutely killer on guitar. Quadvox does the trick, I'm sure with a bit of tweaking I should get something pretty close to the MO-2
