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.

Mythos Mjolnir is an overdrive pedal inspired by the Klon topology, tweaked to reduce midrange honk and add low-end push while softening the treble. Available in standard, germanium, and limited-edition versions, the Mjolnir delivers transparent overdrive with less gain and sweeter top-end character than traditional klones.
The Strymon Sunset is a dual overdrive that packs six distinct, carefully analyzed boost and overdrive circuits across two stackable channels, using an all-analog JFET gain stage with custom DSP voicing for analog warmth and precision. Channel A offers a germanium overdrive that fattens single coils and pushes humbuckers with emphasized lower mids, a smooth single-stage Texas soft-clip overdrive, and a treble booster that tightens an amp or another pedal by cutting lows. Channel B offers a complex two-stage soft-then-hard-clipping overdrive that preserves low end while adding muscle, plus hard-clipping and JFET boost options. The channels can run alone, in series in either order, or in parallel, with the routing chosen for the best-sounding combinations. This makes it a versatile, build-your-own drive station for blues, rock, and beyond, covering everything from transparent boost to thick, stacked saturation.
