Subject:Outboard Chorus for V3/V5

I've just spent a couple of hours trying to programme my Digitech Studio
Quad (II) to replicate the *C3* chorus setting of my Hammond C3... The
idea is to use this as an alternative to the IMO slightly weak VOCE
Vibrato/chorus on gigs.
Although I'm getting there, I'd be interested to hear from other list
members who've had a go at tackling this problem. I realise that
different makes and models of FX produce different results from the same
parameters, but something useful might be thrown up.....

FWIW, my settings are as follows:

Using a chorus module within the Digitech unit, I set the Fx level to
33% alongside a *dry* level of 100%.
The chorus speed is set at 7.1 Hz, and the depth is 1.0 mSec. The
waveform is Sine (though Triangular also sounds OK).

Has anyone tried to emulate the way that a Hammond seems to brighten the
sound when the chorus is swithched on? What frequencies are boosted?
Unfortunately, using outboard chorus means that the percussion gets
routed to the chorus as well as the straight drawbar sounds. I don't
imagine this can be avoided...

Any ideas?
