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.34% — somewhat different

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The EarthQuaker Devices Aqueduct is a vintage inspired pitch vibrato with eight modulation modes, ranging from subtle, gently wobbling vibrato to deep, synth like sonar pulses and seasick warble. Unlike chorus, it modulates pitch only with no dry blend, giving a pure, expressive vibrato voice, and an expression input plus touch sensitivity in some modes add dynamic control. The eight waveform modes cover sine, triangle, ramp and more extreme shapes for everything from classic vintage vibrato to glitchy, synthy textures. It suits psychedelic, ambient, surf and experimental players who want a versatile, characterful pitch vibrato with both vintage warmth and modern, otherworldly modulation options.
The Smokin' Amp Co. Tri-Vibe is a boutique-built version of the True Vibrato circuit originally documented by RunoffGroove, a respected source within the DIY pedal-building community. It delivers Uni-Vibe-style swirling modulation with a genuine vibrato mode (pitch modulation) alongside chorus-like textures, offering players a professionally-built alternative to assembling the circuit themselves.
