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.35% — somewhat different

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Keeley Angry is a four-in-one distortion and fuzz pedal combining four distinct gain voices in a single enclosure: Angry Charlie-style high-gain distortion, fuzz, boost, and a combined mode. The multi-mode format provides a complete gain system within a single unit, covering clean boost through high-gain fuzz in four independently footswitchable modes. Keeley Electronics' American production quality and circuit design expertise underpin all four modes.
The Matthews Effects Klone is a Klon Centaur-inspired transparent overdrive pedal from Matthews Effects, delivering the touch-sensitive, harmonically rich overdrive character of the original Klon Centaur circuit with Matthews Effects' boutique American construction quality. The Klone targets the transparent, natural overdrive enhancement that the original Centaur circuit provides.
