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.34% — somewhat different

The Electro-Harmonix Satisfaction Plus Fuzz is an expanded version of the original Satisfaction Fuzz, adding Tone, Bias controls, and a FAT/NORM mode switch to the base two-knob layout. The Bias control dials fuzz character from open and balanced sustain to gated and sputtery. FAT mode produces a bigger, warmer, woolier fuzz voicing for wall-of-thunder riffs and heavy chording; NORM mode is brighter and more snarling. Based on a silicon transistor fuzz circuit derived from the classic Jordan BossTone.
The Rodenberg SL-OD is Steve Lukather's signature overdrive, a boutique German pedal with multiple channels, voiced like a refined Tube Screamer without the typical midrange hump for a balanced, creamy, amp-like drive. It is used in front of his Bogner amps to add attack and refinement. It suits rock and fusion players wanting smooth, dynamic, transparent overdrive.
