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.46% — somewhat different

The MXR Sub Machine is a two-channel fuzz and sub-octave pedal from MXR by Jim Dunlop, combining an upper-gain fuzz channel with a sub-octave generator that drops the guitar signal one octave below pitch. The pedal features independent controls for fuzz and sub-octave level alongside a dry signal blend, allowing players to mix the three signal elements in any proportion. The Sub Machine produces dense, synth-like fuzz tones with the sub-octave adding a deep, full-frequency foundation below the fuzz. It is suited to players who want the textural complexity of a fuzz and a sub-bass element in a single enclosure without separate octave and fuzz pedals.
The Electronic Audio Experiments Eldritch Blast V3 carries forward the same octave/intermodulation fuzz generator and switchable active EQ as V2, but redesigns the Chaos toggle to oscillate, producing sub-octave glitches and atonal arpeggio-like textures rather than V2's gating effect, alongside a wider range on the More (octave-feed) control and higher overall gain and output than either the original V1 or V2. It represents the most extreme, feature-complete version in the Eldritch Blast lineage for players chasing genuinely unconventional fuzz textures.
