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.

The Black Rabbit Little Earthquakes is an analog tremolo pedal based on the vintage Colorsound tremolo circuit from the 1970s, modified for lower noise, faster speed range, and higher output volume compared to the original. Uses authentic analog LFO tremolo with speed and depth controls. The noise filtering improvements over the Colorsound original make it suitable for studio and live use. Runs on 9V DC, center negative. Well-suited for vintage rock, country, blues, and indie genres seeking warm, pulsing tremolo character.
The EarthQuaker Devices Hummingbird Repeat Percussions V3 refines the same vintage-modeled choppy, sawtooth tremolo circuit found in the original Hummingbird and V2, adding a third speed setting for more tremolo-rate versatility and switching to top-mounted jacks for improved pedalboard compatibility over V2's side-mounted layout. The underlying tremolo voicing, modeled on the Repeat Percussion units found in old Valco and Vox amps, remains unchanged, still spanning classic shimmering tremolo through to a synthy, delay-like chop character.
