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.42% — somewhat different

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Custom Audio Electronics Super Tremolo is a tremolo effects unit from Bob Bradshaws rack and pedal design company, better known for the MIDI switching systems that defined professional touring rigs from the 1980s onward. A dedicated tremolo unit within that catalogue reflects the same rack-based, studio-grade build approach applied to a modulation effect rather than switching hardware. It is associated in this catalogue with Warren Haynes.
The Electro-Harmonix Pulsar is a variable-speed tremolo pedal from Electro-Harmonix, delivering optical-style amplitude modulation tremolo with Rate, Depth, and Shape controls. The Shape control selects between different tremolo waveforms from smooth sine wave to sharp square wave chopping. The Pulsar provides studio-quality tremolo with a wide Rate range from gentle slow pulse through fast, machine-gun tremolo chop.
