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.47% — 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 Subdecay Starlight is an analog bucket-brigade flanger built around the MN3209 BBD chip for authentic vintage flange character, offering far more range than a typical two- or three-knob flanger while staying easy to manage. Its standout control is a Shape knob that selects six different LFO waveforms, sine, triangle, a triangle/square mix, random, triangle step, and manual, dramatically expanding the textures available, from smooth classic sweeps to rhythmic stepped and random modulation, plus a manual mode for fixed or hand-swept flange. The analog BBD signal path gives warm, organic flanging with genuine vintage quality. It suits players wanting expressive, versatile flange tones, from subtle movement to jet-plane sweeps and experimental rhythmic textures, across rock, shoegaze, and creative modulation styles in a flexible yet approachable pedal.
