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.37% — somewhat different

The Carl Martin Surf Trem V3 is the third generation of Carl Martin's optical tremolo pedal, using a photocell (light-dependent resistor) circuit to produce natural, lamp-like amplitude modulation. The optical circuit provides the smooth, musical tremolo character associated with vintage tube amplifier onboard tremolo, with a more organic response than electronic LFO designs. Version 3 brings refinements to the Rate and Depth controls for improved usability. Danish boutique construction. Suited for surf, country, vintage rock, and blues players who want authentic optical tremolo character.
The SolidGoldFX Aurras is an optical vibraphase modulation pedal from SolidGoldFX (Canada), using photocell optical modulation to deliver smooth, warm phase shifting and vibrato effects. The Aurras combines optical tremolo-style modulation with phasing for a unique, organic modulation character that avoids the mechanical quality of LFO-based phasers. SolidGoldFX is a boutique Canadian effects company known for exceptional modulation pedals.
