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.31% — somewhat different

The EarthQuaker Devices x KGR Harmony Cast Iron Plumes is a 100-unit, individually numbered limited edition of the standard Plumes overdrive, distinguished entirely by its hand-cast iron enclosure. The casing was made by Oitomi Ironworks in Iwate, Japan using Nanbu-tekki, a centuries-old Japanese ironworking technique traditionally used for cast-iron teapots, in collaboration with pedal builder Keijiro "KG" Fukushima of KGR Harmony. The underlying circuit, the same all-analog Tube Screamer-style transparent overdrive with a three-way Clipping switch found on the standard Plumes, is unchanged; the edition's value is in its handcrafted enclosure and extreme scarcity.
The Walrus Audio Fundamental Distortion is a streamlined distortion pedal from Walrus Audio's Fundamental Series, using slider controls for Gain, Tone, and Volume alongside a 3-position mode switch (Dark, Si, LED) that fundamentally changes the clipping style and voice, effectively packing three distinct distortion circuits into one compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. Dark mode uses asymmetric silicon clipping with a high-frequency cut, Si mode delivers classic compressed, crunchy silicon hard clipping, and LED mode offers a more dynamic, articulate crunch via LED hard-clipping diodes.
