Phase Distortion is a modulation-based saturation effect that uses a lowpass-filtered version of the input signal to modulate its own phase position through a delay line, similar to chorus or flanger effects but with the unique characteristic of self-modulation. Unlike traditional modulation effects, the delay time is controlled by an internal side chain derived from the input signal itself, creating a distinctive coloration of the audio.
