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 Small Clone is a simple analog chorus with a single rate knob and a depth switch, famous for the watery, swirling clean tone Kurt Cobain used on Come As You Are and the pre-chorus of Smells Like Teen Spirit. It has a warm, lush, slightly wobbly analog character ideal for clean and lightly driven rhythm in alternative rock and grunge.
The Mr. Black Double Chorus is a dual-engine chorus pedal from Mr. Black (Portland, Oregon), a US boutique manufacturer founded by John Michael Kutcher known for lush reverb, modulation, and ambient effects. Two independent chorus circuits running in parallel deliver thick, lush chorus textures combining two independent sweeps for complex, evolving chorus character beyond single-circuit designs.
