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.46% — somewhat different

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The JHS Kilt V3 is the third-generation version of JHS Pedals' British-voiced distortion pedal, refined through multiple iterations to better capture the blooming harmonic character of vintage British amplification. The V3 incorporates circuit improvements addressing specific tonal and dynamic criticisms of earlier versions. It delivers warm, harmonically complex distortion with natural saturation bloom suited to classic rock and British blues rock applications.
The Keeley Angry Orange is a multi-mode distortion pedal from Keeley Electronics combining Angry Charlie-inspired high-gain distortion with Orange amplifier-inspired overdrive character, delivering two distinct British high-gain voices in a single enclosure. The Angry mode delivers JCM800-inspired high-gain saturation while the Orange mode provides the warm, harmonically dense British character associated with Orange amplification. Both modes are independently controllable and can be stacked for combined British gain character.
