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

Beetronics Swarm SW1530 Custom is a serial-numbered custom shop Swarm variant numbered SW1530, a consecutive companion piece to SW1529. Like all Beetronics serial custom pieces it features unique hand-painted artwork alongside the Swarm Analog Fuzz Harmonizer circuit. The Swarm produces dense, layered harmonic fuzz with aggressive character suited for psychedelic rock, heavy fuzz, and experimental sounds. Serial numbers identify individual hand-crafted pieces within Beetronics custom shop output.
The EarthQuaker Devices Data Corrupter is a modulated monophonic harmonizing phase locked loop pedal that turns your guitar into a wild three voice analog synthesizer. It amplifies your input into a crushing square wave fuzz, then uses a PLL to lock an oscillator to your pitch and multiply, divide and modulate it into stacked sub octaves, octaves and harmonized intervals with square wave modulation. The result ranges from massive synth bass and chiptune leads to glitchy, dissonant, robotic chaos. Monophonic and gloriously aggressive, it suits experimental, synth rock, industrial and adventurous players who want screaming PLL fuzz synth tones, video game textures and unpredictable harmonized madness from a guitar or bass.
