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.36% — somewhat different

The Black Arts Toneworks Priestess is a multi-gain-stage fuzz and distortion pedal described by Guitar Pedal X as a greatest hits of BAT Muffs all in one enclosure. Four gain stages are internally selectable: Pharaoh (higher headroom, great for stacking), Green Russian (solid attack and bottom end), NYC Reissue with Creamy Dreamer Mod (high gain with squish), and LSTR High Output (with vocal midrange). Two independent clipping toggle switches allow turning each clipping diode on or off: Clip 1 switches between standard silicon clipping and Supa Tonebender style; Clip 2 switches between standard silicon and Pharaoh style. Controls: Tone, Mids, Clip 1, Clip 2, Fuzz, Volume.
The Warm Audio Fluff Drive is the brands first signature pedal, developed with metal guitarist Ryan Fluff Bruce and based on the Maxon TS-01 screamer circuit with metal-focused modifications. It is voiced for aggressive mids, tight low end, and immediate clarity intended to push power tubes into controlled saturation when placed in front of an amp. Features include a variable noise gate and a low boost switch, plus 18V internal headroom for extra dynamic range compared to standard 9V screamer circuits. Priced as a limited-edition pedal, it updates the classic 1980s screamer formula for extended-range guitars and modern high-gain rigs. Suited to metal and hard rock players who want a screamer-style overdrive purpose-built for tight, aggressive amp-driving tones rather than blues-style breakup.
