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.

The Catalinbread RAH Mountain Edition is a limited special edition of the Portland boutique builder's RAH gain pedal, modeling the classic British rock tone chain of a Dallas Rangemaster treble booster driving a cranked Marshall amplifier. The circuit captures the warm, harmonically rich tone and compressed feel of that iconic rig used in late 1960s and early 1970s British rock, delivering characteristic British crunch and singing sustain without requiring the original hardware. The Mountain Edition shares the same circuit as the standard RAH, differing only in its colorway. Suited for classic rock and blues.
The JHS Kilt V2 is a distortion pedal taking after the sound of British amplifiers of the 1960s and 70s, covering low-crunch through to high-gain territory in one circuit. The V2 revision is the standard production version sold alongside the limited 10th Anniversary edition. It suits classic and hard rock players wanting British amp-style distortion from a pedal rather than a transparent overdrive.
