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 Carl Martin Purple Moon is a dual-function vintage effects pedal from Danish manufacturer Carl Martin, combining a silicon fuzz circuit with an analog Uni-Vibe style vibrato in a single enclosure. The fuzz produces thick, crispy vintage silicon saturation with heavy sustain; the Uni-Vibe section delivers slow, swirling phasiness through to fast rotating chop. Both effects can be used independently or together for psychedelic late-1960s tones associated with Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsys-era playing and Robin Trower.
The Fjord Fuzz FREI is a uni-vibe style modulation pedal from Fjord Fuzz, the Norwegian boutique pedal builder. Fully discrete all-analogue design uses an incandescent bulb with corresponding LDRs to produce authentic chewey, swirly, throbby, psychedelic vibe sounds in the Shin-Ei Uni-Vibe tradition. An 8-bit DIP switch array provides 256 customisation options including ramp-up tremolo shapes, square-wave vibratos, and variations on the all-pass filter configuration.
