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.43% — somewhat different

The Beetronics Larva is a six-stage analog phaser with dual preset morphing and an integrated Moogerfooger-inspired preamp, handmade in Los Angeles. Two independent Rate and Depth controls define phaser presets A and B; the Ramp footswitch morphs continuously between them, with Ramp Speed and Ramp Shape controls governing the transition curve. A Resonance knob shapes the phaser feedback intensity. The integrated Preamp section (Gain and Master Volume) delivers warming crunch independently or combined with the phaser. An Effect toggle selects Preamp only, Phaser only, or Vibe mode. Tap tempo and bypass footswitches. Standard and Custom Shop editions at $249 and $349.
The DOD Phasor 201 is a classic two-stage analog phaser pedal originally produced by DOD Electronics in 1976, delivering simple, musical phase shifting with a single Speed control. The two-stage design produces a subtle, focused phase notch sweep suited for gentle, musical phasing. One of the earliest mass-produced phase shifters, the DOD 201 influenced the development of phaser pedals across the industry.
