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 Caroline Guitar Company KILOBYTE is a lo-fi delay pedal created in 2013 that drives the output of a low-fidelity digital delay chip originally designed for karaoke machines and toys through a +21dB overdrive preamp for warm, deliberately degraded repeats. The analog dry signal path remains clean and pure while only the delay repeats pass through the digital lo-fi chip. Produces the warm, slightly garbled echo character associated with vintage digital delay units rather than pristine hi-fi delay tone. Boutique US construction.
