ZVEX Vibrophase
It would be unthinkable for ZVEX to build anything entirely conventional. So it goes with the Vibrophase. With useful, sensitive high-bias and low-limit controls and an unusual vibrato/phase blend control, this optical modulator delivers sounds that range from fat, classic Uni-Vibe style undulations to twitchy, extreme-EQ hyper flutters. If rotary speaker sounds are your favored modulation expression, but you like to work the extremes of modulation weirdness too, the Vibrophase could easily suffice as your only mod pedal.
