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.50% — somewhat different

The Caline CP-15 Tantrum is a high-gain distortion pedal featuring a three-band EQ section and a gain range inspired by the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone topology, covering a wide sweep from moderate crunch through extreme metal saturation. Controls include Level, Gain, and three-band EQ for Bass, Middle, and Treble adjustment. True bypass. Powered by 9V DC. Suited for metal, hard rock, and heavy alternative players who want versatile high-gain distortion with full EQ control.
The Keeley KO-ALS is a limited-edition distortion pedal, hand-built in a run of just 100 units, based on the Keeley Stahlhammer circuit, with proceeds from its sale benefiting Project ALS in support of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) research. It offers Distortion, Level, Bass, Mids, and Treble controls for finely shaping heavy distortion tones, plus a side-mounted switch selecting between Fender- and Marshall-style EQ contours, letting players tailor the pedal's underlying amp-voicing character.
