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.48% — somewhat different

The Keeley Moon Op Amp Fuzz is a high-gain op-amp Big Muff-style fuzz, extracted from the quad-op-amp Muff circuit inside Keeley's Gilmour-inspired Dark Side workstation and beefed up as a standalone pedal. It is thick, massively saturated and bass-heavy, with a wealth of harmonic content and a wall-of-sound sustain that makes thinner fuzzes sound weedy alongside it. Volume, Filter and Fuzz controls are joined by a three-way voicing switch offering classic scooped mids, a flat EQ, and a Full setting with pronounced midrange for cutting through a band. The Filter control has a notably wide usable range, running from dark and woolly to sharp and cutting. Suits players after heavy, doom-leaning and Gilmour-style op-amp Muff tones.
The ThorpyFX Field Marshal LT is a compact variant of the Field Marshal, itself a MkII of the Lovetone Big Cheese fuzz developed with original Lovetone designer Dan Coggins. It keeps the core Big Cheese voice -- big, thick and harmonically dense, with a heavy low end and substantial midrange weight -- while running louder and considerably quieter in noise terms than the 1990s original. The fuzz ranges from a woolly, saturated wall of sustain to a tighter, more cutting voice as the tone control opens, and it responds well to guitar volume. Built to ThorpyFX's usual standard with premium components in a rugged anodised aluminium enclosure.
