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.55% — moderately similar

The JHS 3 Series Harmonic Tremolo (also called the 3 Series Harmonic Trem) is a tremolo pedal from JHS Pedals' budget-friendly 3 Series line, priced at $99. Controls include Rate (speed), Depth (intensity), and Volume, plus a Type toggle that switches between standard amplitude tremolo and harmonic tremolo. Harmonic tremolo mode splits the signal into high and low frequency bands, modulates them out of phase, then recombines them — producing a lush, swirling effect reminiscent of vintage tube-amp tremolo circuits. True bypass.
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.
