There's an aesthetic trend in modern effects, especially in ambience effects like reverb and delay, which points towards embracing and accentuating digital imperfection.

It turns out that the glitching, aliasing, distortion and noise that engineers traditionally worked so hard to dial out of gear actually sounds pretty amazing when used creatively and intentionally.

Many FX companies have really embraced this way of working, adding controls to their effects which allow musicians to digitally degrade the sound in wonderful ways - intentionally circuit bending their instruments by design.

Another way, though, to achieve these sounds might be to buy an old, cheap reverb from ebay and circuit bend it. This electronic abuse, forces the unit into leaning into these artifacts whether it wants to or not! The results may be more chaotic, but they might also be even more fun and potentially more affordable.
