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.33% — somewhat different

The NUX Stageman Floor NAP-5 is an analog acoustic guitar preamp and DI pedal derived from the preamp circuit of the NUX Stageman AC-50 acoustic combo amplifier. It offers Gain, three-band EQ, analog Chorus and Reverb, a Scoop toggle for mid-cut, a Notch switch for feedback control, Piezo or Magnetic pickup selector, Ground Lift switch, TRS effects loop insert, XLR balanced DI output, auxiliary input, headphone output, and a 60-second looper with unlimited overdubs. Designed for acoustic-only players needing a complete stage DI solution covering folk, country, acoustic rock, and singer-songwriter contexts.
The Mad Professor Royal Blue Overdrive covers a wide range from light overdrive into full distortion, with Volume, Distortion, Treble, and Bass controls. At its lowest Distortion setting the pedal behaves almost like an EQ stage, adding minimal filtering for a transparent boost. Turning the Distortion knob up moves it into a crunchy, tube-amp-like breakup and eventually into heavier gain. Both Treble and Bass are boost/cut shelving controls, giving broad tonal shaping rather than a single fixed voicing. It is built to go from subtle amp-like grit to genuine distortion within one pedal, and forms the basis of Mad Professor's Supreme A-side circuit.
