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.38% — somewhat different

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.$98.56via Reverb
The 67Audio Libido is a transparent clean boost pedal with an internal voltage converter and regulator providing two controls: Gain and a two-band EQ with Bass and Treble at up to 12dB boost and cut each. True bypass. The internal voltage boost provides greater headroom than standard 9V boosts preventing compression artifacts and allowing the amplifier to feel more responsive particularly at lower volumes. Suited to any genre or context where a clean transparent signal lift or tone-shaping boost is needed without adding tonal character.
The Catalinbread Varioboost Legacy Edition is a reissued version of the Portland boutique builder's very first pedal, the Varioboost, a MOSFET-based clean boost with a built-in parametric equalizer. The original Varioboost was an innovative design that combined transparent boost with a parametric one-band EQ for precise frequency sculpting, predating the boutique parametric EQ pedal market. The Legacy Edition revives this design with updated construction. Suited for studio recording, live rigs needing clean boost with EQ correction, and historically-minded Catalinbread collectors.
