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.49% — somewhat different

The Carl Martin Echotone is a delay pedal offering 1200 milliseconds of vintage echo, with foot-switchable Tap or Manual delay time settings. Features an insert loop for integrating external effects within the delay feedback path, and a switchable trail function to allow echo repeats to continue naturally after bypassing the pedal. Danish boutique construction. Suited for players who want extended delay times, live tap-tempo control, and the ability to integrate modulation or reverb within the delay feedback loop.
Chase Bliss Thermae is an analog delay pedal built around four reissued MN3005 bucket-brigade chips that can be sequenced and modulated to generate melodies, reveal hidden textures, and push delay times out to 32 seconds. Short, simple echoes stay warmly musical, while longer echoes and high feedback settings devolve into dark, drenched-in-wobble analog chaos more felt than heard, aided by a low-pass filter that can turn feedback into a drone. It is aimed at experimental and ambient guitarists and sound designers who want an analog delay capable of far more than repeats, at the cost of a steeper learning curve than most delay pedals. Its bucket-brigade heritage gives every echo a woolier, warmer decay than digital delays typically produce.
