You might try one of those reverb (echo) boxes adjusted for a really small
time delay.  I whipped one of those things up one time with the bucket
brigade chip (can't remember the number off hand) they used to sell at
radio shack (it was an analog shift register with two channels, and the
unit would shift the signal through a series some kind of analog flip-flop,
one per clock pulse, with a total of 512 pulses to get from input to
output).

To make a long story short, it sounded much like what you mention.  You
might try one of those.
