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 Electronic Audio Experiments Halberd V2.5 keeps the same circuit topology and CMOS-based switching introduced in V2, refining rather than redesigning it: smoother Pre and Depth potentiometer tapers for finer control response, plus roughly 3dB more maximum gain on tap. It's not a new hardware revision so much as a polish pass on the 2021 V2 redesign, retaining the same 125B enclosure, Post/Pre/Tone/Low controls, and 3-way Voice toggle (Clang/Standard/Deep).
Warm Audios Throne of Tone is a dual-sided overdrive pedal combining two British-amp-inspired blues circuits, styled after the Marshall Bluesbreaker-derived and Analogman King of Tone-style drives, in one stompbox. Each side offers low and high gain settings and three drive modes spanning boost, overdrive, and distortion, for a combined six voicings from one 100 percent analog circuit built around JRC4580 and TL072 op-amps. It includes true bypass and a series FX loop for flexible pedalboard integration. Reviewers highlight its touch sensitivity and liveliness, delivering rich, creamy overdrive on one side and a polished, assertive boost on the other. Suited to blues and classic rock players who want Bluesbreaker and King of Tone style drive tones without the cost or wait of the boutique originals.
