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 Anarchy Audio Flutterby is a vintage-styled optical tremolo handwired in Perth, Western Australia. Three selectable waveforms cover Square (choppy stutter), Triangle (smooth sine-wave motion), and Asymmetrical (a wave that ramps up to a chop). Controls include Level (output volume), Mix (dry-wet blend or clean boost), and Rate (tremolo speed). An expression input controls tremolo rate hands-free. Top-mounted jacks for pedalboard-friendly cabling. True bypass, 9V DC under 20mA, 66 x 122mm enclosure. No battery option.
CMAT Mods, founded by Chad Matthews and later developed further with pedal builder Greg Blessing, built the Tremoglo as an all-analog tremolo pedal capturing the warm, smooth pulse found in vintage amplifier tremolo circuits, deliberately avoiding the audible clicking or popping some tremolo designs produce when switching on and off. Beyond standard Depth, Speed, and Level controls, a three-way toggle switches an onboard LED on or off to visually flash in time with the tremolo's speed, or moves to a center position that disengages the tremolo modulation entirely and turns the circuit into a clean boost or preamp instead, giving the pedal genuine dual functionality beyond its tremolo effect alone.
