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 Organizer is a polyphonic organ emulator pedal from Akron, Ohio boutique manufacturer EarthQuaker Devices, generating organ-like tones by combining sub-octave, dry guitar, and polyphonic organ voices with a Volume Swell (attack) control. Controls include Sub, Organ (dry), Poly (organ voice level), and Swell (attack time) for blending the organ character with the guitar signal. The Organizer creates a swelling, organ-textured tone suited for gospel, soul, psychedelic, and ambient music.
The TC Electronic Sub 'N' Up is a polyphonic octave pedal from Aarhus, Denmark, generating simultaneous sub-octave, dry, and up-octave voices for thick, full-range octave textures that track full chords, not just single notes. Its polyphonic engine tracks chords and fast runs with clear, glitch-free accuracy, so even a low sub-octave under a full chord stays defined rather than turning to mud. A separate Classic mode switches to old-school monophonic octave shifting for players who want the more vintage, single-note-only octave character. TonePrint technology lets players load artist-designed presets or use TonePrint to blend in modulation, organ-like tones, flanging, or overdrive alongside the octave voices for more eclectic textures. It suits bass players and guitarists wanting genuinely usable polyphonic octave thickening and shimmer on chords, not just leads, plus the flexibility to fall back to a classic monophonic octave voice when that's the better fit.
