I couldn't really find anything out there on this. I'm assuming this isn't an effect most blues players ever used?

That's a fun tone. SRV used a chorus pedal in the studio occasionally.

Robert Cray has a pretty sparkling clean tone. I'm not sure about chorus, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Eric Johnson has a great clean tone. He's not blues strictly, but his clean tone involves a TC chorus pedal among other things.

And Johnny Winter (RIP!) used a Boss chorus (& sometimes a flanger at various points) in his rig.

All great players! Hope this helps.
