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 Black Arts Toneworks Revelation is a loud, aggressive boost and overdrive designed to magnify and multiply your amp rather than reshape it, using a simple Pre Gain, Gain and Volume layout to slam the front end of an amp with raw frequencies. It has a vintage, mid focused growl that turns fuzzy as gain and volume climb, and it shines pushing an already aggressive amp, distortion or fuzz into thicker, louder saturation. The Dual Revelation Custom pairs Revelation circuits, drawing on the rawer, mid forward SuperLead voice and the rounder, bassier SuperBass voice the line is known for. It suits hard rock, doom, stoner and heavy players who want a brutal, transparent volume and gain boost.
The ProCo RAT 2 is a classic hard-clipping distortion pedal whose circuit dates to the late 1970s, built around an LM308 op-amp and silicon diode clipping. Its three controls are Distortion, Filter, and Volume, with the distinctive Filter knob acting as a reversed tone control that runs from bright and cutting to dark and warm. Capable of far more than its name suggests, it spans gritty low-gain overdrive, thick midrange distortion, and nearly fuzz-like saturation while keeping notes present and clear even at high gain. It is a staple of punk, grunge, garage, stoner, doom, and alternative rock, and has been used by players from Jeff Beck and Thom Yorke to countless heavy and experimental guitarists. Dynamic and harmonically rich, it cleans up with guitar volume and stays articulate rather than overly compressed.
