Well, a twelve string guitar has a natural chorus effect , so I guess you need a chorus pedal.

I googled a bit and came upon a gadget called Electro Harmoix POG - http://www.ehx.com/ehx2/default.asp?q=f ... s%2F02_POG

It says that it adds one octave down or up, making it sound like a 12- string guitar, or even a 18 string if you add octaves both ways.

you wont get a real nice sound with any effect because it will add an octave to all the strings, when a real 12 string doesnt double the octave of every string. the high e is actually to high e strings at the same octave-- so therefore it will sound a bit odd
