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.51% — moderately similar

The EarthQuaker Devices Data Corrupter is a modulated monophonic harmonizing phase locked loop pedal that turns your guitar into a wild three voice analog synthesizer. It amplifies your input into a crushing square wave fuzz, then uses a PLL to lock an oscillator to your pitch and multiply, divide and modulate it into stacked sub octaves, octaves and harmonized intervals with square wave modulation. The result ranges from massive synth bass and chiptune leads to glitchy, dissonant, robotic chaos. Monophonic and gloriously aggressive, it suits experimental, synth rock, industrial and adventurous players who want screaming PLL fuzz synth tones, video game textures and unpredictable harmonized madness from a guitar or bass.
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.
