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.46% — somewhat different

The Beetronics Swarm Fuzz Harmonizer is an analog fuzz harmonizer from the Royal Series, handmade in Los Angeles. The SPECIES selector chooses from nine pitch intervals for the harmony voice, ranging from octaves to musical thirds including major third intervals. Queen and Drone knobs mix two harmony voices independently. Flight and Sting controls sweep, pulse, or detune the harmonized voices. The core fuzz is thick, buzzy, and gated, suppressing background noise when the instrument is not playing. 9V DC center-negative, approximately 7mA. Power supply not included. Pedal size roughly 5.5 x 4 x 2.75 inches. Reviewed by MusicRadar and guitar.com.
