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 Electro-Harmonix Eddy is an analog vibrato and chorus pedal that pairs lush, vintage voiced modulation with modern expressive control. Vibrato gives a pure modulated pitch wobble while chorus blends the dry signal for a rich doubling shimmer, and the Eddy adds envelope and expression pedal control over the rate and depth of the modulation for dynamic, playable movement. From subtle, warm chorus thickening to deep, seasick vibrato and touch responsive swells, it covers a wide modulation range. It suits players across clean rhythm, indie, surf, ambient and experimental styles who want warm analog chorus and vibrato with the expressive twist of envelope and expression control in an affordable pedal.
The Strymon Orbit is a dBucket flanger that brings classic analog flange tones into the modern era, built by analyzing and reverse-engineering some of the greatest vintage analog flangers. Its front-panel controls range from chorus-like detuning to intense jet-plane sweeps, and it offers true through-zero flanging, achievable only with high-quality digital algorithms, for deep, vocal, zero-point effects. A Feedback toggle provides Positive for jet-engine flange, Negative for watery, shimmery flange, and a combined +/- setting, while an LFO linear mode delivers aggressive grunge-style flanging and a Thru-0 position suits heavy distortion with subtle shimmer. Extensive I/O and deep-editing secondary features allow precise tailoring, and an expression interface adds control. It suits players wanting versatile, high-quality flanging from subtle movement to extreme sweeps across rock, grunge, shoegaze, and experimental styles.
