Similarity
citedBlended 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.

Description

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.

The DigiTech CF-7 Chorus Factory is a multi-mode chorus pedal offering seven distinct chorus and modulation algorithm types including stereo chorus, flange, vibrato, and triggered modes. Controls include Speed, Depth, Level, and Mode selector for choosing among the seven effect types. Powered by 9V with stereo output. The CF-7 was part of DigiTech's factory series offering multiple effects modes in one pedal.
