Ive been experimenting on some of my synths with a crybaby wah pedal, and ive found its pretty sweet to use on pads/strings.

My bandmate plays Micron -> Crybaby -> Small Stone -> Delay. Most incredible lush strings ever!

Wah on synths for strings and pads often works well because the wah is a bandpass filter with a particular emphasis peak, and such filtration usually sounds lovely on strings and pads.

I agree. You can really learn a lot with a bit of research on your own along with this forum.

Right now I'm looking for a versatile chorus pedal. I'm wondering how well the Clone Theory would be at creating ensemble effects? I'd like an Elkorus, but that's too much money for me, sadly.
Well fffff.

The Clone Theory will not do ensemble effects. The closest ensemble I know of for small coin is the Yamaha Magicstomp pedals, which have the Yamaha Ensemble algorithm, among many other things. You might also seek a Roland SDX-330 Dimensional Expander, which has a great ensemble algorithm, among its other chorus effects.

On the analog side, yea, the Elkorus, Jurgen Haible's ensemble, or the ensemble of a stringer, e.g., using the external input of a Roland RS-505 Paraphonic, are the ways to go, but none of these are inexpensive, in either time or money.
