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 Caroline Guitar Company ARIGATO is a 4-stage analog OTA-based phaser and vibrato pedal designed with intentionally off-balance LFO behavior for quirky, expressive modulation. Based on the Somersault platform but modified to deliver phaser and vibrato rather than chorus. The dual LFOs can be pushed into wild, unstable territory for pitch-bending vibrato effects, and with Feedback turned up produces pseudo auto-wah sounds. Running 100% wet enables pure pitch vibrato with no dry signal blend. Boutique US construction.
The Empress Nebulus is a modulation pedal from Canadian manufacturer Empress Effects, delivering Chorus, Vibrato, and Flanger modes with Rate, Depth, Delay, and Feedback controls for comprehensive modulation coverage. Each mode produces distinct modulation character with the shared control set providing consistent operation. Expression pedal input for real-time Rate or Depth modulation. Empress Effects Canadian boutique quality construction.
