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.44% — 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 Warm Audio Jet Phaser is a recreation of the 1970s Roland AP-7 Jet Phaser, a combined phaser and fuzz circuit. It pairs deep, swirling phase modulation with a hot, searing fuzz, and offers four modes: the second intensifies the swirl and, with resonance raised, gives the searing jet-engine character the original is named for, while modes three and four are mellower, rolling off the upper frequencies so the phaser and fuzz blend into a swirling snarl. At low resonance the phase voice adds subtle animation and shimmer; at high resonance it takes on a rotary-speaker wobble. A Jet control doubles as a solo boost, and holding the Fast/Slow footswitch lets the modulation settle at in-between speeds like a real Leslie.
