You must try this one

Eat pedal is difficult to define: some sort of ocatave, vibrato, repeater, shimer, doubling, voice shifter, depending on the configuration. It definitely fits well into the category of a texturizer. Best of all, in a live band context, it doesn't get lost in the mix. It has a very different sound than other effects of that type. Widely recommended.
