Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.32% — somewhat different

The Alexander Pedals Dynaflanger Model 213 is a 10-mode digital boutique flanger from Alexander Pedals' Leap Series featuring 32 user presets across four banks, stereo TRS I/O, USB firmware updates, and a MultiJack accepting expression, MIDI, or footswitch. Its ten modes range from classic AUTO wide-sweep jet-plane flanging with through-zero flanging to DYNA envelope-controlled flanging that responds to pick attack, SPIRAL which creates a Shepard Tone endless-staircase pitch illusion, ECHO FLANGER combining up to 800ms delay with flanging, FLERB pairing hall reverb with auto-flanging for lush shoegaze textures, STEP for rhythmic step-sequenced modulation, and TURBO for experimental fade and chop effects. Suited to shoegaze, dream-pop, experimental, ambient, and alternative contexts.
Witch City Music Factory names this pedal Light Cycle, a direct reference to the glowing vehicles from Tron, a naming choice that suggests a bright, digital, or futuristic-leaning modulation or synth-adjacent effect rather than a warm, vintage-voiced circuit. Small independent builders frequently draw on pop-culture and film references for pedal names specifically to signal a tonal or aesthetic direction before a player even plugs in, and a name evoking Tron's neon, high-tech visual world points toward something bright and electronic rather than earthy or organic. Specific circuit type and control layout for the Light Cycle aren't confirmed from available sources.
