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.48% — somewhat different

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Dophix Michelangelo Gold Edition is a limited Gold finish edition of the Florence, Italy boutique builder's Michelangelo Overdrive Plus, featuring the same JFET-based valve-amp-style overdrive circuit in a distinctive Gold cosmetic finish. The circuit delivers warm, dynamic overdrive across three selectable modes from boost through crunch to full drive, with Level, Gain, B (bass), M (mid/treble), and a Blend control. Germanium and silicon diode voicing options provide tonal variety. The Gold Edition circuit is identical to the standard Michelangelo, differing only in its finish.
The Keeley Muse Driver, the follow-up to the Super AT Mod, is a 4-in-1 overdrive built with Andy Timmons, combining JFET transistors, germanium diodes, and op-amp gain stages for harmonically rich overdrive. Controls include Tone, Drive, and Level, with two independent toggle switches offering AT (Low-Cut) or RK (Low Boost/Phat) Tone Mods and AT (Asymmetrical LED + Silicon) or RK (Dual Germanium) Drive Clipping Mods, giving four genuinely distinct playable voicings depending on toggle combination.
