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.44% — somewhat different

The Crazy Tube Circuits Time MK III is the third generation of the Time delay pedal from Greek boutique manufacturer Crazy Tube Circuits, refined over two previous generations to deliver improved analog-voiced delay character. Features tap tempo and delay controls for rhythmic echo timing. Boutique Greek construction. Part of the Crazy Tube Circuits effects lineup alongside the Splash reverb, White Whale reverb/tremolo, Cyclone phaser, and Golden Ratio compressor.
The Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler simulates a wide range of classic delay and echo units in one pedal, from the tube-driven warmth of a vintage Echoplex tape echo to the hazy, modulated repeats of an Electro-Harmonix Memory Man, alongside cleaner digital and modern algorithmic delays. Its true stereo signal path keeps each modeled delay type sounding distinct and full rather than collapsed into a generic digital repeat, and built-in tap tempo makes it fast to lock delay time to a song's groove on the fly. A 14-second onboard looper adds live layering and improvisation on top of the delay engine. It suits players wanting one pedal that covers an enormous range of delay character, from vintage tape warmth to clean modern digital, without needing several dedicated units.
