Crazy modulators!

So I've dipped my toes into this end of the pool before, so I've decided modulators like chorus, flangers and phasers sound great with distortion.
So I'm actually looking for one that will quite frankly just go over the top, like well crazy.

Is there anything like that on the market. I've seen stuff like phasers that sound almost like ray guns, what's the weirdest sounding phaser, flanger or chorus pedal you guys have heard!

Also please no synth pedals have found a nice spot for one on my board and don't need another one.

The Blackout effectors Whetstone phaser has a crazy range. From a 58 second high to low sweep at its slowest settings to crazy laser and ring mod sounds at its fastest, plus tons of useable tones in between. Definitely something worth checking out.

The Mid Fi electronics Pitch Pirate can do some pretty crazy sea sick sounding vibrato and chorus effects. I don't think they make them anymore though.

While not exactly a modulation, the Electro Harmonix Memory Boy (also the deluxe version) can do some out of this world sounds if you crank the modulation depth control and switch the waveform to square-wave. Weird, whistles, beeps, subs, and warbles. It's pretty awesome, plus it doubles as a pretty great analog modulated delay.

Subdecay Quasar Deluxe is pretty out of control.

I would jump into my nearest guitar shop and get this now of it wasn't for the size and price. Some of those phases were incredible! Thanks for the input.

The Earthquaker Rainbow Machine isn't really a modulation pedal but it is weird! It is a randomized harmonizer. You can't begin to imagine the weirdness.

The EHX Flanger Hoax can get wackier than any other modulation pedal I've ever heard. Although the Moog Cluster Flux could probably give it a run for its money.
