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 Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Neo is the most compact version of EHX's long-running Holy Grail reverb line, offering Spring, Hall, and Room reverb modes through a single Reverb knob that blends dry and wet signal. The spring mode captures the boingy, splashy character of a real spring tank, while hall and room modes add smoother, more spacious ambience without the metallic edge cheaper digital reverbs can have. Despite its minimal single-control interface, it delivers the same core Holy Grail voicing that made the original a pedalboard staple, in the smallest possible EHX nano-style enclosure. It suits players wanting simple, reliable, good-sounding reverb without deep programming or a large footprint.
The Electro-Harmonix Holy Stain is a multi-effect reverb pedal from Electro-Harmonix, combining reverb, tremolo, pitch shifting, and distortion in one unit with a mode selector for choosing between effect combinations. The Holy Stain offers spring reverb, hall reverb, tremolo-plus-reverb, and pitch-shifted reverb modes. A four-knob design with Mode selector covers all the integrated effect combinations in one pedal.
