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 Sea Machine is a deep, highly tweakable analog voiced chorus offering a vast range of modulation, from subtle, shimmery classic chorus to wobbly, seasick, warbly pitch bent detuning. With controls for rate, depth, shape, dimension and a wide ranging clock that affects the chorus character, it goes far beyond a standard chorus into lush, watery and downright disorienting textures. It suits players from clean rhythm and ambient to experimental and shoegaze who want everything from gentle, dimensional thickening to extreme, drunken pitch warble. Its depth of control makes it one of the most flexible and characterful chorus pedals available, equally at home subtle or wild.
The Old Blood Noise Endeavors Reflector V2 is a chorus with three distinct modes — a standard chorus, a triangle-wave chorus with a harder modulation shape, and a vibrato that drops the dry signal entirely. Rate, depth and mix are all controllable, and the pedal's character sits closer to warped tape than to the glassy 1980s rack chorus sound.
