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.32% — somewhat different

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.
The Laney Spiral (Black Country Customs Spiral Array) is a chorus pedal, not a reverb, offering three distinct vintage chorus voicings: a thick, lush tone modeled on the 1976 Boss CE-1, a spatial, dimensional chorus modeled on the 1979 Roland Dimension D, and a rich, complex tone modeled on the 1985 Dytronics Tri-Stereo Chorus. Silent switching and noiseless controls keep the circuit quiet even with lush modulation dialed in. It suits players wanting a versatile single pedal that covers three genuinely different eras and flavors of classic chorus rather than one fixed voicing.
