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 Artec SE-VTM is an analog optical tremolo pedal from South Korean manufacturer Artec. The optical device circuit provides traditional tremolo without the noise floor elevation of transistor-switched designs. A Zero-Width Mode activates automatically via a Low Level Sensor when there is minimal input, muting LFO noise during rests to prevent audible oscillation bleed between notes. DC 9V, 8mA active / 4mA bypass, 75.5W x 115.5H x 47.5D mm, 290g. Part of the Artec SE budget series alongside the RSV-3 Resovibe.
The Source Audio Vertigo is a tremolo and vibrato pedal from Source Audio (Boston, Massachusetts), delivering multiple tremolo and vibrato voicings including harmonic, optical, bias, and rotary speaker modes with MIDI control and Neuro app programmability. The Vertigo provides the widest tremolo and vibrato palette from Source Audio for players who need comprehensive modulation with full preset recall.
