Here's what ZVEX Effects says about the Vibrophase Vertical Pedal:

A few years ago ZVEX Effects released the Candela Vibrophase, a candle-powered vibrato/phaser machined from solid brass and glass that used a mix of 1800s technology (a Sterling heat engine) and 60s/70s audio circuitry to create a lovely swirling effect.

We received numerous requests to put that sound into a guitar pedal and after a bunch of research we came up with a way of dramatically broadening the spectrum of textures available using the original circuitry from the Candela. It's presented to you here as the Vibrophase, a five-knob four-stage phaser that creates phase and vibrato nuances never heard before.

Five knobs! Count 'em! Speed sweeps from maddeningly slow to puppy dog flippy, vibrato/phase sweeps from, erm, you'll figure that out, feedback sends the output back through the phaser again to raise intensity, and there are controls for the top end and bottom end of the sweep so you can completely tailor the sound to your song. I think you're really going to enjoy this. It's just really pretty.

Phaser Pedals

Phaser pedals create moving notches in the frequency response by mixing phase-shifted signal paths with the dry sound. The number of stages, feedback, rate, depth, resonance and blend determine whether the effect is a gentle swirl, a sharp vocal sweep or a more pronounced, resonant pulse. Some designs offer envelope or expression control, while others keep the controls deliberately immediate. Before or after distortion changes the texture: before gain the phase movement is clipped into the note, while after gain it remains clearer. Check mono behaviour if the pedal is stereo-capable.

Vibrato

Modulates pitch above and below the played note without the dry/modulated mixture that creates chorus. Rate, depth, waveform and delay-line character determine whether the motion is a gentle instability, pronounced wobble or tape-like drift.
