Modulation Pedals (Chorus, Tremolo, Phaser & More)
Modulation pedals add motion, depth, and musical character to your tone. From subtle shimmer to dramatic sweeps, these effects create movement that brings your playing to life—whether you’re building ambient textures, adding vintage vibe, or crafting swirling psychedelic soundscapes.
Types of Modulation Effects
- Chorus: Thickens your tone by simulating multiple guitars playing together. Great for clean tones, worship, 80's sparkle, and modern ambient layers.
- Tremolo: Classic volume pulsing ranging from smooth waves to sharp rhythmic chops. Perfect for indie, surf, blues, and vintage rock.
- Phaser: Adds swirling, whooshing movement with a timeless ‘70s vibe. Great for funk, fusion, and psychedelic tones.
- Flanger: Jet-like swooshing and dramatic sweeping effects for bold, expressive textures.
- Vibrato: Pitch modulation that adds wobble, shimmer, and expressive movement to clean or driven tones.
- Rotary & Leslie-style: Simulates a spinning speaker for rich, 3D movement—perfect for organ-like textures and soulful lead lines.
What Modulation Pedals Can Do for Your Tone
- Add width and depth: Great for filling space in a live mix.
