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 Source Audio Atlas is a polymodulation chorus pedal from Source Audio (Boston, Massachusetts), delivering multiple simultaneous modulation voices including chorus, flanger, vibrato, and ensemble modes with MIDI control and app programmability. The Atlas provides the widest chorus modulation palette available from Source Audio for studio and live performers who need comprehensive modulation in one programmable pedal.
