This is a simple list of 89 delay pedals with modulation, of some kind. This is usually in the form of adding chorus to your delay with rate and depth controls. Some allow for flanger and phaser as well, or multiple options in that category. If you know of something we missed and you want to add to this list, drop us a note in the comments section below and we'll update the page.

This is an old Line 6 DL4, but both this one and the new version - the MK2 - have modulation options.

Best from the list?
We would put forward the Strymon TimeLine, Volante, and DOD Rubberneck as a few of our favorite delays with modulation options. The Eventide TimeFactor is another great digital delay pedal. You should go with the Rubberneck if you're looking for something analog.
