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.

The EarthQuaker Devices Hummingbird Repeat Percussions V3 refines the same vintage-modeled choppy, sawtooth tremolo circuit found in the original Hummingbird and V2, adding a third speed setting for more tremolo-rate versatility and switching to top-mounted jacks for improved pedalboard compatibility over V2's side-mounted layout. The underlying tremolo voicing, modeled on the Repeat Percussion units found in old Valco and Vox amps, remains unchanged, still spanning classic shimmering tremolo through to a synthy, delay-like chop character.
The Surfy Industries SurfyTrem is a vintage-accurate surf tremolo pedal from Surfy Industries, delivering a circuit-accurate recreation of the bias tremolo found in vintage Fender amplifiers for authentic 1960s surf music tremolo. The SurfyTrem aims to provide the organic, warm, subtly wavering tremolo character of vintage Fender tweed and blackface amp tremolo at a pedalboard-friendly price.
