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 TC Electronic Fangs Metal Distortion is a compact, affordable distortion pedal built to deliver serious high-gain tone, covering everything from tight, syncopated thrash riffing to slow, drone-heavy doom and sludge metal. Gain, Volume, Bass, and Treble controls handle the basics, while a mid-frequency selector switch with Raw, Fat, and Scoop settings shapes the pedal's core character across the spectrum of biting metal tones. Reviewers note the gain response is unusually open and liquid for a budget metal distortion, with a gain knob sweep that stays musical and usable across its full range rather than jumping straight to extreme saturation.
