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.34% — somewhat different

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Keeley Blues Disorder is a 4-in-1 overdrive/distortion pedal combining two complete analog drive circuits, Bluesbreaker-style (BB) and OCD-style (OC) voicings, in one enclosure. Two switches let players separate the tone control from the clipping section on each circuit, and mixing and matching the Tone and Drive switches unlocks two additional hybrid sounds beyond the two base circuits, giving four genuinely distinct drive voicings total. It accepts either 9V or 18V power and offers switchable buffered or true bypass.
The Maxon OD-9 Pro is a premium version of the OD-9 overdrive, built on the original Tube Screamer circuit that Maxon designed and manufactured for Ibanez. It has the classic Tube Screamer voice: a pronounced midrange hump, soft, smooth clipping, a rolled-off low end and a compressed, touch-sensitive response that pushes a valve amp into focused breakup rather than producing heavy distortion alone. The Pro specification adds refined components and circuit changes over the standard OD-9, with the mid-forward character retained. It is used most commonly as a boost into an already overdriven amp, where the midrange lift helps leads cut through.
