FM but as an effect?
Are you tired of only warping signal amplitude like a pleb? Phase Distortion is here to deliver phase melting mayhem!
Traditionally, most distortion units overdrive and shape the amplitude of a signal in various ways to generate a rougher sound. Phase Distortion instead lets the signal modulate the phase of itself, essentially resulting in something similar to feedback FM. This way you can add that FM touch to any sound, to get a sweet 80's vibe or a filthy dubstep bass.
Will you use your newfound power for good or for evil?
Parameters
Drive
Controls the amount of distortion.
Normalize
Normalizes the signal, making the effect insensitive to input gain.
Tone
Filters the modulation to reduce high frequency noise.
Bias
Adds a constant phase offset to all harmonics.
Spread
Spreads phase offset for left and right channels for a stereo effect.
Mix
The dry/wet mix of this effect. A lower value will let some of the unmodified signal through.
Sidechain
Allow a secondary input to control the phase shift amount.
