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.50% — somewhat different

The Alexander Pedals Oblivion Vintage Delay is a four-mode DSP delay emulating distinct vintage archetypes: TAPE delivers warm magnetic tape echo with progressive treble and bass rolloff per repeat, ANALOG BBD provides warm murky bucket-brigade character with optional modulation closest to vintage BBD units, OILCAN produces dark dirty repeats based on 1960s electrostatic delay lines for psychedelic textures, and MULTI delivers clean multi-head delay with eight playback-head combinations for complex rhythmic echo patterns. Delay range is 10ms to 900ms. Features tap tempo, expression pedal morphing between two stored settings, MIDI, and four preset slots.
The JHS 3 Series Oil Can Delay is a delay pedal inspired by vintage oil can echo devices, from JHS Pedals' budget-friendly 3 Series line, priced at $99. Controls include Mix (wet/dry), Speed (delay time, 100ms–330ms), and Feedback (repeat count), plus a toggle that switches between light and heavy modulation intensity. Developed in collaboration with Nels Cline of Wilco, it emulates the warbling, organic character of classic oil can echo units. True bypass.
