Any Alesis rackmount reverb unit is tons of fun. All kinds of crazy enjoyment to be had. I use an Alesis Nanoverb. Current favourite tricks:
-Maximum feedback w/25% effect. Slow gradual constant chord picks up over time in the fashion of a piano drone.
-Chorus/reverb setting. Straight up string sound.
I recently acquired a Boss Hyperfuzz, which though normally isn't my sort of thing, has quite a good way of sounding like a whiny wah effect during dynamic shifts.
Split your signal - have one clean and one going into an pitch-shifter (a good one, though - Boss PS-5 perhaps) and then through a few delays & long reverbs. The effect you'll get is something like a lead line backed by a string ensemble.
