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.49% — somewhat different

The Alexander Pedals Radical Delay DX is the six-mode expanded successor to the original Radical Delay in the NEO Series. Six modes: MOD (clean digital delay with Tweak for chorus or vibrato on repeats), BEND (pitch-shifting spiraling repeats), DYNA (dynamics-sensitive delay responding to pick attack intensity), REV (forward delay, reverse delay, and tape-stop effect via Tweak), ARP (chiptune arpeggiator delay with stacked pitch intervals for 8-bit sequences), and DUAL (parallel delay lines in mono, stereo, or ping-pong). Features 4 onboard presets, MIDI, expression pedal morphing between two states, and USB.
The Meris Polymoon is a super-modulated delay pedal built around a 1200ms real-time selectable multi-tap delay line paired with 6 custom-tuned LFOs offering adjustable waveforms, capable of anything from subtle wobble to aggressive, synth-like pitch-shifting effects on the repeats. It adds an adjustable Tilt EQ filter in the delay feedback path, a tempo-syncable stereo Barberpole Phaser, a multimode stereo Dynamic Flanger with feedback, a unique feedback topology, a Dimension control for smearing reflections, and selectable quarter or dotted-eighth tap tempo, all running through a premium 24-bit/32-bit floating point signal path with stereo I/O.
