Phase Shift
Phase Shift is for stereo waves. This effect gives you the same 
result as reversing the positive and negative speaker wires of 
one stereo speaker. Normally, stereo speaker cones move in and 
out similarly (in phase). When you reverse the wires of one 
speaker, it reverses the phase of that speaker so that when a 
phase pushes one cone out, the other cone is moving back. This 
creates what is called an ambient effect.
Phase Shift lets you reverse the phase of one channel without 
changing the speaker wires. Try it out and hear the difference.
