Similarity
citedBlended 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.

Description

The Electro-Harmonix Mod Rex is a polyrhythmic modulator pedal from Electro-Harmonix, delivering four simultaneous modulation types (tremolo, vibrato, filter, and panning) each with independent polyrhythmic sequencing at different rates. The Mod Rex allows each modulation type to run at its own tempo subdivision for complex polyrhythmic modulation textures that evolve continuously. Controls include individual Rate and Depth for each modulation type plus a Master Rate.

The Zvex Seek Trem is a 8-step sequencer tremolo pedal from Z.Vex Effects (Minneapolis, Minnesota), using eight individual volume knobs — one per sequencer step — to program rhythmic volume patterns that cycle at a speed set by a single Time knob. A 4/6/8 step selector changes the pattern length, enabling anything from simple pulsing throb to complex syncopated rhythmic textures.
