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.41% — somewhat different

The EarthQuaker Devices Arpanoid is a polyphonic pitch arpeggiator from Akron, Ohio boutique manufacturer EarthQuaker Devices, creating ascending and descending pitch-shifted arpeggio sequences from the guitar signal. Controls include Clock (rate), Range (pitch range), Key (musical key and scale), and Direction (ascending, descending, or random). An early and influential pitch arpeggiator in the boutique pedal space.
The Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork Plus is an expanded polyphonic pitch shifting pedal that transposes your signal across a wide range, up or down by up to three octaves, with detune and harmony capabilities. Building on the Pitch Fork, the Plus adds dual independent pitch voices that can be blended for two note harmonies, octaves and chords, plus presets, expression control and a momentary mode for pitch bending and dive effects. From subtle detune and octave doubling to lush harmonies and dramatic pitch dives, it tracks polyphonically and cleanly. It suits players in rock, metal, ambient and experimental styles who want versatile, harmonized and octave shifted textures and expressive real time pitch control.
