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 Jackson Audio ASABI is a signature overdrive and distortion pedal created in collaboration with Brazilian guitarist Mateus Asato, designed to deliver the warm, singing, harmonically complex drive character that defines Asato's RnB-influenced lead playing style. The ASABI provides gain voicing suited to Asato's approach: smooth and harmonically rich rather than aggressive or compressed, retaining the guitar's natural character while adding musical saturation. The pedal reflects Asato's specific tonal requirements for lead playing across RnB, pop, and modern instrumental guitar contexts.
The Mad Professor Simble Overdrive Mk2 is the second-generation version of Mad Professor's flagship overdrive, an Alexander Dumble-inspired circuit that captures the warm, singing, harmonically complex breakup associated with Dumble's legendary custom amplifiers. The Simble is one of the most acclaimed affordable Dumble-inspired overdrives in the boutique market, and the Mk2 refinements address specific tonal and control criticisms of the original with circuit improvements and enhanced usability.
