greater warmth and depth.
Flanger
This effect creates a swirling, metallic sound.
Phaser
Cyclically modulates the phase to add modulation to the
sound.

The tremolo effect cyclically modulates the volume.
The Rotary Speaker effect simulates the characteristic
vibrato effect of a rotary speaker.
Distortion
This type can be used mainly for guitar, adding distortion
with an edge to the sound.
