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.33% — somewhat different

The Carl Martin Contour is an active EQ and tone shaping pedal from Denmark providing independent bass, midrange, and treble control for comprehensive frequency contouring of the guitar signal. Designed to correct room resonances, amp voicing limitations, and pickup imbalances by actively boosting or cutting frequency ranges. Functions as an always-on corrective tool in complex signal chains or as a broad tonal shaper for adapting the guitar tone to different performance contexts. Made in Denmark by Carl Martin.
Hornby Skewes Treble Booster is a hand-selected OC75 transistor treble boost with variable frequency selector across 11 distinct steps, hardwire true bypass, and 9V battery power. The linear gain circuit and modified tone setup provide rich, dynamic boost ideal for pairing with already-distorted amps.
