At 21:29 in this video Vernon shows his Warped Vinyl pedal. He says he's routing it after the Mel9 if he wants to go "extra freaky".
Next to the Freqout from Digitech, you can barely see the Warped Vinyl according to the knobs, switchs, footswitch and design of the pedal (The square arround the last 2 knobs and switch; The typography of the letters too).
"I only played one note. Used the Micro POG to add an octave down to the signal, then froze it with the Superego. Then the Arpanoid gave us the slow, random arpeggiation (in mode 4, which is a major scale). Dry and wet signal were blended pretty equally. Then we used the Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl to warm up the signal (get rid of some of the harshness from the Superego) and add a little warble. And then the final touch is a 100% wet reverse reverb from the BigSky. I think it sounds pretty awesome. Could probably sit and listen for a while."
chorus/vibrato, for Magnatone type vibrato
Igor Haefeli confirmed using the Chase Bliss Audio Warped Vinyl pedal on the new record, stating, "Chase Bliss Audio’s Warped Vinyl and Tonal Recall were two major pedals for this record," as reported in an interview by Huw Baines on Guitar.com.
A Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl can be seen in this pic of James Petralli's pedalboard, at the bottom, in between a Roland/Boss Space Echo RE-20 and MXR Phase 90. He also mentions it in an interview on guitar.com, which you can read here - https://guitar.com/features/interviews/white-denim-james-petralli-side-effects/
"I also used the Chase Bliss Audio Warped Vinyl. It’s a vibrato pedal with an analog signal and a digital controller attached to the back. You can control it with LFOs or the envelope of your attack. I was pushing the amp with it, even when I wasn’t using any pitch changing. Anything that sounds like a chorus on the guitar would be that."
