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.49% — somewhat different

The MXR Duke of Tone, sold as Dunlop CSP039, is an overdrive designed in collaboration with boutique builder Analog Man, bringing that maker's celebrated Prince of Tone and King of Tone voicing to an affordable, widely available pedal. It adds warmth, grit and a touch of compression while letting the natural tone and feel of high end gear shine through, offering multiple modes spanning clean boost, overdrive and a grittier gain. Smooth and dynamic, it is voiced for transparency with a musical midrange. It suits blues, rock and roots players who want an Analog Man style drive, an always on tone enhancer or a stacking pedal without the long waitlist of the boutique originals.
The Mad Professor Supreme is a dual-channel overdrive developed with blues guitarist Matt Schofield. The A side is based on Mad Professor's Royal Blue Overdrive circuit and voiced for low-gain drive suited to neck-pickup blues leads. The B side is an entirely new design giving Schofield's preferred fat, dynamic tone with power-amp-like response and generous headroom. Each side has its own Volume, Drive, Bass, and Treble controls, switchable with a single A/B footswitch, and the two channels can be run independently or stacked together for higher gain. It is aimed at blues and blues-rock players who want two distinct, amp-like overdrive voicings in one box.
