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.49% — somewhat different

The EarthQuaker Devices Grand Orbiter V3 carries the same 4-stage OTA-based phaser circuit and Rate/Depth/Sweep/Resonance controls as the original Grand Orbiter, adding a quieter soft switch in place of the original's hard mechanical footswitch, along with EarthQuaker's Flexi-switch bypass technology. Flexi-switch allows standard latching bypass at a tap, or momentary operation by holding the switch down, adding real-time performance flexibility the original lacked. The phaser's tonal character and range, from subtle swirl to intense, resonant sweeping, remain unchanged from the original version.
The Outlaw Effects Phunnel Cloud is a compact analogue phaser with two selectable voicings, running from a discreet shimmer to dramatic, rapidly sweeping movement. A mini toggle switches between Then, a warm, rich mid-1970s-flavoured phase with a rounder and more musical character, and Now, which is cleaner, more modern and more pronounced in its sweep. It stays quiet in operation, and true bypass keeps the dry signal transparent when disengaged. Housed in a micro enclosure with staggered jacks to save pedalboard space, it is an affordable route to classic analogue phase movement without boutique cost.
