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.48% — somewhat different

The Alexander Pedals Equilibrium DLX is a digital tremolo, harmonic tremolo, and vibrato pedal offering three vintage modulation types in one enclosure. Tremolo mode delivers bias-amp-style amplitude modulation from smooth rolling sine waves to hard choppy burps via the Shape knob. Harmonic mode emulates early 1960s piggyback amplifier vibrato with a dry-signal blend creating a queasy swirling effect unique to that era. Vibrato mode delivers authentic 1950s pitch-wobble character reminiscent of early Fender tremolo circuits. Controls include Rate, Depth, Shape, and Mix for parallel wet-dry blending. Discontinued.
The JHS Kodiak is an analog tremolo pedal with tap tempo, featuring four waveform shapes — Sine, Rhythmic, Square, and Ramp — and a Ratio control that syncs tremolo speed to subdivisions of the tapped tempo: quarter notes, eighth notes, triplets, and sixteenth notes. Controls include Volume (output compensation), Speed, Wave selector, Mix (depth from clean through fully wet), and Ratio. Transparent, high-headroom, low-noise circuit. True bypass. Made in Kansas City, Missouri.
