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 Friedman IR-D is a dual-channel all-tube preamp and DI pedal powered by two high-voltage 12AX7 preamp tubes, based on Dave Friedman's modded JTM45 circuit. Each channel features a three-band EQ, independent boost, Structure control, and Bright switch. Onboard IR cabinet simulation with 13 preloaded impulse responses enables direct recording or live DI use without a power amp or speaker cabinet. Both channels deliver Marshall-derived British-voiced preamp tones.
The Revv G2 is a preamp, overdrive and distortion pedal reproducing the Green channel of Revv's Generator amplifiers, with the widest gain and EQ range in the company's pedal line. A three-way switch gives three distinct voices: Off is a full-range clean boost with the three-band EQ still active; Blue is the Green channel's signature touch-responsive breakup; and Red delivers a more authentic, amp-like saturated gain feel. On its own it is open, woody and chewy, with the dynamic response of a cranked tube amp rather than a compressed pedal distortion, which has made it a favourite of Nashville session players for its clarity and dynamics. It works equally as a classic crunch box, a boost to push a tube amp into sweet saturation, or an always-on drive, covering both rhythm and lead duty. The V2 refines the original circuit.
