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.35% — somewhat different

The MXR M94SE Super Badass Distortion is a high-gain distortion pedal from MXR by Jim Dunlop, delivering wide-range distortion with a three-band active EQ and a broad gain spectrum covering everything from medium overdrive to extreme distortion. The Super Badass is designed to cover the widest possible range of drive styles in a single enclosure, suited to both classic rock and modern high-gain applications. Internal DIP switches allow clipping diode selection between different clipping characters including hard silicon clipping and softer asymmetric options, enabling circuit-level voicing customization.
The Keeley Oxblood Overdrive is inspired by the Klon Centaur but built to deliver more gain than the original circuit, spanning a range from transparent boost to rich, harmonic overdrive. It uses a classic three-knob layout (Level, Tone, Drive) enhanced with a Phat switch for added bass presence and a Clipping switch toggling between uniquely voiced diode options, running on standard 9V DC power with true bypass switching.
