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.42% — somewhat different

The Behringer UT300 is a tremolo effects pedal providing volume-modulation tremolo with adjustable waveform control. Controls include Rate, Wave (waveform shape selector), and Depth for tremolo character and intensity adjustment. LED on/off indicator. True bypass. 9V battery or DC power supply. Part of Behringer effects range targeting guitarists who want tremolo waveform variety beyond the typical sine-wave-only tremolo. The Wave control adjusts the modulation waveform character from smooth sine through more angular and choppy shapes.
The ZVEX Sonar is a square-wave tremolo designed by Joel Korte, extending conventional tremolo with a very tight gating design. Rather than the smooth, rounded amplitude sweep of a vintage tremolo, it chops the signal hard between full volume and silence, producing a stuttering, rhythmic, percussive effect with sharply defined edges. The precision of the gating keeps the chop clean at fast rates where softer tremolos blur, suiting rhythmic and experimental playing where the tremolo functions as a sequencer more than an ambience.
