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.32% — somewhat different

The Black Arts Toneworks Witch Burner is a boost pedal featuring a GRN (Green) low-gain switch that reduces compression for a solid, wider-sounding boost. Spans clean boost through lightly colored preamp drive, with the GRN switch fundamentally changing the compression character and openness of the boosted signal. Designed for guitarists needing a boost that adds presence and definition without significant coloration or unwanted compression. Made by Black Arts Toneworks.
The ThorpyFX Heavy Water is a dual high-headroom boost, built after requests to release the boost side of the Dane as a standalone pedal. The right-hand side is that Dane-derived clean boost, with Output and Lows controls that thin the signal out or fatten it up while otherwise leaving the amp's character alone -- at modest settings a subtle always-on lift that simply makes an amp sound better. The left side shares the same controls but clips through germanium diodes for a grittier, warmer, more textured boost with a touch of natural compression. Each half works independently, and stacking both will smash the front end of a valve amp into full overdriven submission. Reviewers rate it among the most versatile boosts available, running from transparent tone enhancement to an outright lead screamfest, in ThorpyFX's exemplary aircraft-aluminium build.
