Chase Bliss Brothers AM is a dual analog overdrive built in collaboration with Analog Man, offering two independent gain channels that can be run separately or stacked into almost metal-level saturation. It lends body and fullness to a tone without stripping away the character of the guitar or amp behind it, moving from smooth, creamy overdrive to gritty distortion as the channels are combined. It carries clear King of Tone DNA, staying consistent through single-coils and humbuckers with a wide dynamic range for precise gain shaping, though reviewers note it does not perfectly replicate the King of Tone's low-mid magic on its own. It suits players wanting a versatile two-in-one overdrive/boost platform for blues, rock and heavier stacked-gain tones.
The JHS Morning Glory is one of the most popular transparent overdrives ever made, inspired by the Marshall Bluesbreaker but with extra headroom and available gain. It adds dirt to a guitar tone without changing its fundamental character, giving back the responsive nuance an amp may be missing while leaving the existing tone intact. Unlike a Tube Screamer it adds no midrange peak and stays largely uncompressed, making it an easy-to-use, open, and dynamic low to medium gain drive. The V4 version doubles the headroom of earlier generations and adds a gain toggle for more saturation. Used widely across blues, indie, country, and rock, it works as an always-on transparent boost, an edge-of-breakup drive, or a stacking pedal, prized for clarity, dynamics, and the way it flatters the underlying amp and guitar voice.
