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.

The Alexander Pedals Super Neo-Matic is a digital modulation pedal inspired by the Pefftronics Randomatic, offering Triangle and Random modulation types each available in Vintage 8-bit and Modern 24-bit audio modes. Triangle mode drives time-delay modulation with a standard LFO for chorus, vibrato, and flanging textures. Random mode replaces the LFO with a randomly shifting voltage, producing unpredictable pitch drift and evolving warble. Holds four presets; supports MIDI and expression pedal via USB port. Can also function as a static audio delay for manual pitch-warping. Limited edition runs of 100 units were produced, making it a collectible in the boutique modulation market.
PastFX is a boutique pedal builder known for playful, evocative product names, and the Deluxe Elastic Mattress is the brand's flanger offering, with the whimsical naming hinting at the pedal's intended character, a bouncy, deep, spring-like sweep rather than a subtle, understated modulation. Flanger pedals in general work by mixing a guitar signal with a slightly delayed, continuously modulated copy of itself, creating the sweeping, jet-plane-like comb-filter effect the format is known for, and PastFX's boutique approach suggests a hand-tuned take on that classic sound rather than a straightforward reissue of an existing flanger circuit. Specific control layout and sweep range for this exact model aren't confirmed from available sources.
