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.17% — quite different

The Catalinbread Starcrash Sidearm is a compact utility pedal from the Portland boutique effects builder, designed as a smaller sidearm format of the Starcrash circuit. The Starcrash is part of Catalinbread's range of gain and boost tools built with their amp-voicing philosophy of capturing specific amplifier character and tonal behavior. The Sidearm designation indicates a companion or alternate-footprint version of the main circuit. Best suited for players seeking a compact boutique gain or boost tool from the Catalinbread lineup with the builder's characteristic amp-aware tonal design.
The Mooer Micro Preamp 020 Blueno is voiced after the Bruno Underground 30, a boutique American head built around a thick, blues-rock crunch with a looser, more vintage-feeling response than the series' metal voices.
