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.

The Way Huge WM31 Supa-Lead Overdrive is a mini format overdrive from the Smalls line, voiced to capture the dynamic, touch sensitive lead tones of a cranked classic British stack. It delivers crunchy, mid rich amp style overdrive that responds strongly to pick attack and guitar volume, cleaning up to lighter breakup and pushing into singing, saturated lead gain. With simple controls in a space saving enclosure, it offers a Marshall flavored rock voice that works as a primary drive or to push an amp harder. It suits classic rock, hard rock and blues rock players who want expressive, British voiced overdrive and lead tones in a compact, pedalboard friendly box.
The MXR Custom Shop Raijin Drive is a collaboration with Japanese pedal designer Shin Suzuki, reimagining two iconic Japanese stompboxes -- an overdrive and a distortion -- in a single enclosure with more tonal range than either original. A switch flips between the two voices: the overdrive side is smooth, fat and wide open with a rich harmonic bloom, aimed at classic Dumble-style smooth lead tone, while the distortion side is aggressive and harmonically rich with enough gain to get genuinely heavy. Level, Tone and Drive controls keep it simple. It works best pushing an already gritty amp over the edge, where the distortion mode adds real intensity and aggression, though reviewers note it can turn a little fizzy at extreme settings. Named for the Japanese god of thunder and lightning.
