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 LTD Pyramids Stereo Flanging is a limited edition release of the EQD Pyramids stereo flanger, offering eight distinct stereo flanger modes through four independent flanger circuits wired in stereo pairs. Modes cover classic jet flanger through through-zero and experimental stereo flanging. Limited edition cosmetic and packaging distinguishes this from the standard Pyramids production run. EQD Akron, Ohio boutique construction.
PastFX is a boutique pedal builder known for playful, evocative product names, and the Deluxe Elastic Mattress is the brand's flanger offering, with the whimsical naming hinting at the pedal's intended character, a bouncy, deep, spring-like sweep rather than a subtle, understated modulation. Flanger pedals in general work by mixing a guitar signal with a slightly delayed, continuously modulated copy of itself, creating the sweeping, jet-plane-like comb-filter effect the format is known for, and PastFX's boutique approach suggests a hand-tuned take on that classic sound rather than a straightforward reissue of an existing flanger circuit. Specific control layout and sweep range for this exact model aren't confirmed from available sources.
