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.46% — somewhat different

The EarthQuaker Devices Pyramids Solar Eclipse Edition is a limited edition release of the EQD Pyramids stereo flanger with special Solar Eclipse artwork and cosmetic finish. Delivers the same eight stereo flanger modes through four independent flanger circuits as the standard Pyramids. Limited edition cosmetic identifies this as the Solar Eclipse collector release. EQD Akron boutique construction.
The Flanger-Roo continues Simple Sam's pattern of playful, pun-driven naming, this time applied to a flanger circuit rather than the brand's phaser offering. Flanging works by mixing a guitar signal with a slightly delayed, continuously modulated copy of itself, producing the sweeping, jet-plane-like comb-filter effect the format is known for, distinct from a phaser's more subtle notch-filter swirl. As with Simple Sam's other releases, specific sweep depth, rate range, and control layout for this exact circuit aren't confirmed from available sources, though the flanger format itself is a well-understood, classic effect type.
