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 Death By Audio Thee Treble is a boutique treble booster and upper-frequency enhancement pedal from the Brooklyn, New York builder, reviving the treble boost circuit from the limited-edition Thee Fuzz Warr Overload. It delivers razor-sharp treble presence and upper-midrange clarity designed to cut through any mix with precision. The circuit emphasizes high-frequency boost in the tradition of classic British treble boosters while incorporating DBA's distinctive approach to circuit design. Suited for classic rock, heavy blues, and experimental players wanting a cutting treble boost with DBA character.
The Gamechanger Audio Plasma Pedal is a revolutionary distortion pedal from Latvian boutique manufacturer Gamechanger Audio, using a xenon gas tube and high-voltage electrical discharge to distort audio in a fundamentally different way from any conventional transistor or tube clipping circuit. The guitar signal is converted to high-voltage pulses that trigger visible electrical discharges in the xenon tube, and the resulting discharge signal is converted back to audio frequency. Guitar World, Premier Guitar, and Sweetwater all reviewed the Plasma as delivering a genuinely unique, complex harmonic distortion character unlike any conventional fuzz or distortion, producing visible plasma arcing in the tube during operation.
