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.

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Catalinbread Katzenkonig 70 is a variation of the Katzenkonig fuzz and distortion pedal from Portland, Oregon, voiced for a 1970s-era sonic character distinct from the standard Katzenkonig. The 70 designation indicates a circuit voicing that captures the specific tonal qualities of heavy 1970s rock and proto-metal, with a warmer, more rounded distortion character compared to the more modern-voiced standard Katzenkonig. Combines the RAT-style distortion and Super Fuzz-inspired harmonic content of the original design in a specifically 1970s voicing. Made in Portland by Catalinbread.
The J. Rockett Animal is a high-gain overdrive pedal from J. Rockett Audio Designs (JRAD) based on the Marshall Shredmaster circuit, one of the most celebrated vintage British high-gain distortion designs from the early 1990s. The Shredmaster circuit was used by Radiohead Thom Yorke and others, and its distinctive mid-forward high-gain character has been influential in alternative and heavy rock. The Animal delivers the Shredmaster-inspired voicing with J. Rockett premium Nashville construction quality.
