An Octave pedal produces a note one octave down from the one you're playing, and mixes that with your signal.

A Phase Shifter adds a very small delay to the original signal, and then mixes that with the original. This is not quite the same as a delay effect, because the amount of delay, (or shift), varies with the pitch of the note. The result has a whoooosh kind of sound to it, as the amount of phase shift is swept up and down.
