You'd need quite a high (up to inifite) gain if the phase is near 90
degrees.
 
There is a much simpler solution:

Create a filter, using an inverse FFT, that doesn't modify the phase
but just has some random gain between -1 and +1 in each frequency bin.
Let F be that filter. It will be symmetric in the time domain, so have
a delay equal to half its lenght. Let D be that delay.

With X your input signal, compute

X1 = D (X)        # X delayed
Y = G * F (X)     # X filtered and delayed, gain G

L = 0.5 * (X1 + Y)
R = 0.5 * (X1 - Y)

where user paramter G controls the amount of effect.

Summing L and R will always give X1, the delayed input.
