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 Crazy Tube Circuits Memphis is a vintage vibrato and clean preamp pedal based on late 1950s and early 1960s analog vibrato circuits. Features a 2-stage pitch shifting circuit powered by an internal voltage multiplier for high headroom and improved dynamic response. An ALL WET / DRY+WET toggle switch selects between 100 percent modulated signal or parallel dry and wet signals simultaneously. A clean period-correct preamp section provides up to 20dB of clean boost. Reviewed by MusicRadar and Guitar World. Suited to vintage-voiced guitar tones across blues, country, and classic rock.
The TC Electronic Gravy is a custom Guitar Center version of TC's acclaimed Corona and TriChorus chorus pedals, offering two exclusive effects, tri-chorus and vibrato, custom-tuned for lush modulation. A toggle switches the pedal between chorus, a TonePrint slot, and tremolo, while another footswitch handles on/off. It features stereo in and out, true bypass, analog dry-through for tonal integrity, and TonePrint support for loading custom or artist presets via USB or smartphone. Based on TC's excellent TriChorus, its chorus is rich and clean, with the tri-chorus setting adding deep, three-voice shimmer and the vibrato offering warbly pitch movement. It suits players wanting high-quality, versatile chorus and modulation with stereo width for clean rhythm, ambient layers, and vintage textures.
