Mark started using this pedal ocasionally in 2018, but it seems that it didn’t find a permanent place on his pedalboard, because in the more recent rig rundowns and interveiw, he does not mention it at all. He seemed to have switched to a much simpler Boss CE-2 for all of his chorus needs around 2020.
Sometimes I like to use a really, really slow vibrato at the end of the chain to change the pitch. Right now, I have a Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl on it. It sounds really psychedelic and warpy. But honestly, I wish I could go back to the wah and DS-1 and that’s it.

According to Mark, at that time he was using it at the end of the chain (later on, the CE-2 would move to the start of the chain). He also explained why he switched to a dedicated chorus pedal: he needed one for the Mordechai tracks.
I was using a Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl (the white one) at the very end of the chain, last thing before the amp. I kinda stopped using it once I had to include a chorus pedal on the board after Mordechai, plus its really hard to sing in pitch with my bandmates while the guitar is moving in and out of standard 440, but I really love how it sounded. There are way more options now for those veerrryy slow pitch vibrato sounds, but that version of the WV is still pretty great.
