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 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 Old Blood Noise Endeavors Blackcap is a dual asynchronous harmonic tremolo combining a simple three-knob analog tremolo with a more complex digital harmonic tremolo in one pedal. The analog side offers classic amplitude tremolo with rate, depth, and volume, ranging from slow sways to fast chopping. The digital side is a tap-tempo harmonic tremolo that crossfades between highs and lows rather than just modulating volume, with five selectable waveforms including sine, triangle, square, saw, and reverse saw for lush swells and synthy pulses. A series/parallel toggle lets the two run into each other or side by side for complex, asynchronous choppy textures, with volume boost on each side, expression control, ramp mode, and relay bypass. It suits vintage, ambient, and experimental players wanting tremolo from classic to far beyond.
