Sounded like a separate modulation underneath the main modulation to my ears.
Maybe they have one 4013/14013 running as divided by 2 from the first clock?

I have noticed this sound from my pedal as well. There is a subtle 2nd modulation effect taking place in the background. It would be amazing to be able to mod the clocks to really take advantage of the fact this is basically two flangers running simultaneously! Again, the unobtanium schematic for this version is the key.

After so many years of churning out tons of killer boards, that break is definitely much deserved! Wellness (physical and mental) is more important than anything else.

Are the "new projects" boards dropping soon?
Last new boards were 15 months ago. Hope all is well over in beanville-upon-mad

This gives another hair brained idea of what could be done to mimic the more lush sounding mod effects out there: parallel/series, multiplexed designs using more commonly available BBDs?

I mean, someone's thought of it, I'm sure. Nihili novi sub sule

Moto version of the CD4013. Can produce a two phase clock source, guessing one for each chip.
The demo Jessenator posted reminded me of the couple of dual clock chorus pedals I have. Sounded like a separate modulation underneath the main modulation to my ears.

What the heck are those?

Motorola multiplexers as clock(s?)

two MN3004s, two multiplexers ...mod isn't in my wheelhouse (yet), but I'm sure one day non-scientists like myself will make sense of what's happening here.

There are only TL072s on the top, as far as I could see (U10 and U5 were both 072s. Surprised not to find and 022):
