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 Behringer BM-18M Cluster Box is an all-analog modulation pedal modeled after the Moog Moogerfooger MF-108M Cluster Flux. A genuine Bucket Brigade Device chip drives three effect modes: Chorus (5ms to 50ms delay time), Flanger (0.6ms to 10ms), and Vibrato. The LFO features six waveform shapes (Sine, Triangle, Square, Ramp, Sawtooth, and Random Staircase). Controls include LFO Rate, LFO Amount, Delay Time, and a bipolar Feedback knob that highlights even or odd harmonics. Tap tempo via footswitch. Stereo outputs. CV and expression inputs for Feedback, Time, Rate, Mix, and LFO Amount. Reviewed by Synth Anatomy and ranzee.com as a modulation powerhouse.
Chase Bliss Warped Vinyl HiFi is an analog chorus/vibrato pedal with a redesigned, brighter and clearer tone circuit, a Lag control for lush, lustrous chorus, and reduced noise compared to the earlier Warped Vinyl MKII. It produces sounds ranging from very normal, conventional chorus tones to wacky, undulating, warped soundscapes, with more headroom and transparency than earlier versions. Independently modulated LFOs and momentary tap-tempo features give it a wide creative range beyond typical stereo chorus pedals. It suits players who want both classic analog chorus/vibrato tones and an experimental platform for less conventional modulation textures, and it carries full MIDI and preset recall in the Chase Bliss house style.
