Similarity
citedBlended 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.

Description

The EarthQuaker Devices Grand Orbiter Phase Machine V2 is the second version of the EQD Grand Orbiter optical phaser and vibrato, delivering the same four-stage LDR optical phasing with Phase and Vibrato modes while refining the circuit based on the original model. Rate, Width, Phase, and Sweep controls shape the optical phase sweep character. EQD Akron boutique construction.

The Electro-Harmonix Worm is a multi-modulation pedal from Electro-Harmonix, delivering four distinct modulation and filter effects in one unit: Phaser, Vibrato, Wah, and Tremolo. A four-position Mode switch selects between the modulation types with Rate and Depth controls shared across all modes. The Worm provides four commonly used modulation effects in one compact EHX pedal format.
