Run to you (Bryan Adams) (chorus or flanger...can't remember!)
Brighton Rock (Queen) (phaser)
Wonderful tonight (Eric Clapton) (chorus)
Roxanne (phaser) / Message in a bottle (chorus) (The Police)
Whatever you want (Quo) Chorus/flanger
Hot for teacher (flanger) Van Halen
Nobody's fault but mine (Led Zep) (flanger)
That's just from memory but without checking my Tonelab settings I might have got some of the above modulation type wrong.

I'll use tiny bit chorus/flanger for some naff 80s stuff - Nothing Compares 2 U / Heaven Is A Place On Earth type covers. I use wah for some solos but always try to restrict it to a maximum of two songs per set to avoid developing Hammett syndrome. I might use bit of delay for some solos such as the distorted solo in Moonlight Shadow but the other guitarist in my band uses loads for his solos so I go for a different sound most of the time.
There's nothing wong with using these type of effects sparsely. I view them as being like seasoning - Just the right amount can improve your food but overdoing it can ruin the taste
Design for Life - Chorus. Was it on the original? Don’t know, but we play it in A, and the chorus helps the lower pitch to cut through.
Rocket Man, yes the Elton John song but without piano - Chorus and Tremolo.
Valerie - wah for the quiet fourth verse. Strum once every two bars, and rock the pedal on the beat.
Sweet Child of Mine - Chorus. More Sheryl Crowe than GnR.
Friday I’m in Love - Chorus.
Run to You - Chorus.
Message in a Bottle - Chorus and Flange. Even Andy Summers doesn’t remember what he used on the recording.
Superstition - Wah fest.
I also use a little Chorus as a signal doubler to thicken up some lead sounds.
The point is that for your average covers band too much inappropriate seasoning isn't good. I've heard plenty of covers ruined by overkill chorus cleans and atrocious lead tones with too much delay
I love the sound of the dimension pedal on the md500 but have never committed it to a track.
I do have one track that is purely shaped by the eventide undulator algorithm but I have no idea what effects it contains other than delay.
Thsts a great set
My chorus pedal (Digitech Hardwire CR7) is getting much more use since my band put an 80's set together, I do have it set pretty mild, but I run it in stereo into 2 Boss Katana combos. So it widens the sound nicely.
also on cover band, and looking for some modulation pedals. had a M5, but never got into it. then tried a zoom ms50g...same.
looked at boss ms3 and line6 hx, but, im kinda lazy so, better stick with pedals.
anyway, right now im looking for a nice chorus pedal. couple of songs use it more than any other mod fx (bryan adams, billy idol, etc)
So, might start with the neunaber tri chorus. any experience with it live?
