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 Quadrant (also marketed as Quadrant Audio Mirror) is a four-mode NEO Series digital delay pedal with an analog dry signal path ensuring no coloration of the dry signal regardless of mode. Four delay engines — MAG (warm tape-style repeats with progressive top and bottom rolloff), BBD (warm bucket-brigade character closely emulating the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man), DIG (clean bright early-digital clarity), and LOFI (deliberately degraded lo-fi repeat textures) — cover the classic delay spectrum. Features expression pedal morphing between two complete preset settings and MIDI with firmware updates via USB.
The Boss DD-2 Digital Delay is a compact digital delay pedal delivering clean, precise echo and repeats. Its three knobs control time, feedback, and level, with selectable delay times from 20ms to 3 seconds. The DD-2 remains popular for its compact size, reliability, and musical delay tones suitable for rock and alternative music.
