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.39% — somewhat different

The Electro-Harmonix Stereo Pulsar is a variable-shape analog tremolo pedal with two independent stereo outputs. Controls include Rate, Depth, and Shape plus a three-position waveform switch covering sine, sawtooth, and square wave modulation. The Shape knob morphs continuously between waveform types within each mode, producing everything from gentle, rounded amplitude swells to hard gated staccato chops. Stereo outputs enable true ping-pong panning between two amplifiers. Discontinued in 2025.
The JHS Tidewater is a compact optical tremolo pedal that faithfully recreates the warm, vintage amp tremolo character of classic tube amplifiers. Three controls — Volume (output level), Mix (tremolo depth from none to fully wet), and Speed (rate of oscillation) — are complemented by an LED indicator that pulses in sync with the tremolo speed. The Tidewater produces smooth, musical amplitude modulation without the hard-edged choppy character of square-wave tremolo designs. True bypass.
