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.

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The EarthQuaker Devices Pyramids SE (Special Edition) is a limited edition version of the EQD Pyramids stereo flanger, offering eight stereo flanger modes in a special edition enclosure and color scheme. The Pyramids uses four individual flanger circuits to create true stereo flanging with eight distinct modes covering classic jet flanger through through-zero flanging and more experimental modes. Special Edition cosmetic distinguishes this from the standard production Pyramids.
The Subdecay Starlight Flanger MKIII is an analog-voiced flanger from Subdecay (Portland, Oregon), delivering the current generation of Subdecay flanging with BBD-emulating analog character, through-zero and jet-flange modes, and refined controls at Subdecay boutique quality. The MKIII is the latest iteration of Subdecay well-regarded Starlight Flanger design.
