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.48% — somewhat different

The Catalinbread STS-88 is a flanger and reverb pedal described as a love letter to the flanger, combining deep, sinuous flanging with a complementary reverb that enhances the flanger's metallic, swooshing modulation. Controls include Depth and Rate for the flanger, plus Mix and Reverb for the wet/dry blend and reverb size. Rate covers 0.077Hz to approximately 6Hz. Includes a gentle noise gate to suppress inherent guitar hiss and LFO clock noise. Runs at 9V to 18V. Priced at $209. Built in Portland, Oregon.
The Dex Tech Memory Flanger, part of Dex Audio's UK-built Memory Range, is an analog-signal-path flanger with digital control over its key parameters, combining the warm, organic modulation character of a BBD (bucket-brigade device) analog flanger circuit with the precision and repeatability of digital parameter control. It produces the classic metallic, sweeping flange modulation associated with vintage analog flangers. It suits players wanting warm, analog-voiced flanging with more consistent, dialed-in control than a purely analog design typically offers.
