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.

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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 Super Rodent is a high-performance modification of the ProCo RAT distortion pedal by Robert Keeley, enhancing the original RAT circuit with premium components, additional clipping options, and refined controls that extend the RAT's tonal range while preserving its essential aggressive distortion character. The Super Rodent is part of Keeley's long tradition of boutique pedal modifications that established the brand's reputation before their transition to original designs.
