The modulators you're looking at are linear (hopefully!) amplifiers. The manufacturers (if you can call them that) call small amplifiers "modulators." Real modulators are a stage in a radio where information is added to the RF carrier.

Some amplifiers do high level processing, but none of the amplifiers that are marketed to CBers have that capability as far as I know.

BTW - Amplifiers shouldn't do anything to your signal except amplify it. The modulation levels shouldn't change and it should sound exactly the same regardless of power level. That's where the term linear comes into the phrase linear amplifier. If the sound changes something is wrong.

There is no such thing .....

Unless its a push - push amp it cant change your " MODULATION " Or some non linear nightmare
A linear amp is the goes-inta is the same as the goes - outa except the goes - outa is larger.
