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 Circuit Rider Effects SiClops is a Klon Centaur-style overdrive pedal based on the highly sought-after gold transparent overdrive, with a three-way toggle switch that adds Chime and Grind mode voicing options beyond the standard Klon circuit. The Chime mode brightens the high-frequency presence while the Grind mode adds additional gain character. The core circuit delivers the transparent, touch-sensitive overdrive quality associated with the original Klon Centaur at a more accessible boutique price point.
The Electronic Audio Experiments Limelight is a dual-channel overdrive pedal developed in collaboration with the LA punk band Touche Amore, starting from a Bluesbreaker-inspired circuit reworked with mods borrowed from Marshall's classic Bluesbreaker and Shredmaster designs, where one pot changes the gain of two cascaded stages together, blended with a Tube-Screamer-influenced voicing for a unique combination of aggression and chime. Independent boost and drive circuits, up to 21dB of clean boost, and a Focus toggle for low-end cut give real range, all through relay-based true bypass switching that defaults to bypass on power loss. The response stays open and dynamic with a bright, chiming top end that never turns brittle and a low end that stays tight even at higher gain, responding strongly to picking dynamics. It suits players wanting a Bluesbreaker-family overdrive with more gain, clarity, and articulation than the classic circuit typically offers.
