Default Stereo-izing a Mono Signal

Any votes as to what is the best sounding technique for getting a mono signal to have some width, if the event was not recorded in stereo? The Eventide H910? Plugins?


Anything that involves a mild comb filter... the Orban stereo Synthesizers
were the first devices to do the job, but there are plenty of copies of the
method. It sums to mono, so in the end it does no harm, and it does give
a vague sense of a diffuse sound field instead of a tight mono image in
center.

It's not a bad trick for widening individual sources going into a mix, although
to use it on an entire recording seems a bit heavy-handed to me.
