Modulation

Modulation guitar effects pedals include phase shifter, vibrato, flanger, chorus, and rotary speaker. A phase shifter effects pedal creates a whoosing sound similar to that of a jet. It takes an incoming guitar signal and creates a copy of out of phase. A vibrato effects pedal can be simulataiously a volume effect, filtering effect and time based effect. A flanger effects pedal has a sound similar to that of an auto-wah but not quite as strong. It is also closely related to chorus. A Chorus effects pedal gives the effect of several guitars being played at the same time producing a bigger sound. A rotary speaker effects pedal recreates the sound of rotary speakers that are spinning and/or place a rotating baffle in front of it creating a doppler effect .
