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 Gary is a modulated fuzz pedal from Akron, Ohio boutique manufacturer EarthQuaker Devices, combining fuzz saturation with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to produce buzzing, oscillating modulated fuzz tones. The PWM modulation creates a buzzing, vibrating quality in the fuzz that adds rhythmic, synthetic character. Controls include Sustain, Volume, Tone, Rate, and Width for shaping the fuzz and PWM modulation character. Named after Gary Crespo, EQD's production manager.
The Fuzzrocious Tyrannochorus is a modulated chorus and gated fuzz combination pedal from Philadelphia's Fuzzrocious Pedals, where a gated fuzz effect sits within the wet loop of a deep, lush chorus circuit. This unique routing produces a chewy, sputtery modulated fuzz character that can range from standard chorus to alien-like modulation with crushing fuzz undertones. A Feedback control takes the chorus from normal operation to chaotic, warped textures. Used in post-rock, shoegaze, experimental, and avant-garde contexts where unconventional modulation and fuzz combinations are desired.
