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.47% — 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 Movall MP-301 Van Golem is a budget analogue mini phaser offering more control than a typical one-knob vintage-style phase pedal. Alongside Speed it adds Width and Feedback, so the sweep runs from a subtle, slow shimmer adding gentle movement to a lead tone, through to deep, watery, resonant phase sweeps that swirl broadly across clean chords. Raising the feedback sharpens the notches for a more vocal, resonant and pronounced effect. Built into a small but weighty aluminium-alloy enclosure with a slip-resistant base, true bypass and an LED status indicator, running on 9V DC centre-negative. An accessible way to get flexible analogue phase movement in a very small pedalboard footprint.
