The vocal effect in Beastie Boys' song Intergalactic is
made with very short delay. Going on a comment somewhere on 
Usenet I got something fairly similar with the following settings:
Around 95% feedback, and switch between say 10 and 12.5 msec 
delay time to get the two different pitches (or perhaps 
8.5 / 11 msec; only heard the song 1-2 times, so not sure about 
the delay time).
There's probably more to it, but this seems a basic part of the effect.

You mean comb filtering?  Comb-filtering gets the same basic effect and
it's pretty simple to do in csound (comb opcode).  I guess comb filtering
is essentially what your talking about, with short delay and all.
