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.32% — somewhat different

The Cornerstone CST Ant is a custom or special edition of the Italian boutique builder's Antique TS-style overdrive pedal, handmade in Italy with premium components. The CST Ant shares the core Antique circuit with its warm, mid-forward Tube Screamer-inspired overdrive character and Hot Mode dual boost, differing in its custom cosmetic specification. As with all Cornerstone pedals, it is handbuilt in Italy with meticulous attention to component quality and construction. Suited for blues, rock, and country players seeking premium Italian boutique overdrive character.
The Fortin Amplification Fourteen is a dual-channel overdrive and boost pedal featuring three Tube Screamer-variant modes per channel: a modded OD9/TS9, a modded OD808/TS808, and Fortin's own Hexdrive topology. Each channel can be set independently and the pedal includes a side-panel quarter-inch jack for hands-free amp channel switching. The Fourteen represents the distillation of Mike Fortin's TS modification philosophy into a single, comprehensive unit. Suited to high-gain metal and hard rock contexts where Tube Screamer-style boost and overdrive are used to push high-gain amplifiers.
