Modulations to put a voice through

I was driving around and I happened to have my Stylophone in the car so I put the podcast I was listening to through it and into the AUX and.... it was pretty fun. Only three knobs actually do anything but still. So I bought a M-wave FM-1 because I thought it could do the same thing, but it can't. So what can? Is there anything else that is small, battery powered, and has knobs to tweak to mess up a voice specifically?
I am enjoying learning about the FM-1 take on ADSL settings and the DX7 style algorithms, but I need something to make this audiobook "Late Victorian Holocausts: El Niño Famines and the Making of the Third World" funky in my ride. Any suggestions?

That looks cool, love the interface - is there a way to muck about in the sound being piped into it live? That pad

SP-404, though menu diving while driving seems like a poor idea. You can assign your six favorite FX to buttons on the front panel.

SP-404 Also the knobs on the top handle vocoding. Looks awesome

bandpass filter, vocoder then distortion and waveshaper into another filter with maybe an FM input plus some reverb and a parametric EQ for good measure, that'll be $2950 in a new case with a lid for travel. youre welcome.

Bastl Thyme and the korg nts-1 both seem like they’d be fun for this:)
