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.49% — somewhat different

The JHS Lucky Cat Delay is a tape/digital delay pedal offering two distinct delay engines via a side-mounted dip switch: Vintage Tape mode (compressed, slightly driven, darker repeats) and Digital Clean mode (crisp, transparent repeats). Controls include Time, Mix, Repeats, Ratio (tempo subdivision), Darken (EQ shaping repeat tone from bright digital through to dark lo-fi), and a Modulation toggle. Available in multiple colorways including a Limited Edition version.
The Keeley ECCOS is a neo-vintage tape delay and looper that blends warm, dark analog-style echoes with authentic reel-to-reel flanging for lush, evolving repeats. The delay trails are tone-modulated rather than merely pitch-shifted, so the shape and color of repeats constantly shift, recalling Eddie Kramer and Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland textures. A tone knob sets how the echoes sit in a mix, handling everything from tight slapback to soupy ambient washes, and an onboard looper adds convenience. It suits players after classic analog delay colors paired with vintage studio flange effects. Its standout character is sumptuous tape-style flanged delay, though its multi-function controls carry a real learning curve.
