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.40% — somewhat different

The One Control Lingonberry Overdrive is a higher-gain development of the Strawberry Red, with more control over lower-gain settings and altered filtering that gives it more bite and a tighter response. That makes it the more aggressive of the pair while remaining a Björn Juhl design in the same series. Anyone choosing between the two is really choosing gain range and filtering rather than two unrelated circuits. It suits rock players who want the Strawberry Red character with more drive available and a firmer low end.
The One Control Purple Plexifier is the first of Björn Juhl's amp-in-a-box designs for the series, aimed at the sound of the iconic late-sixties British amplifier its name alludes to. Unlike the Strawberry Red and Lingonberry, which are overdrive circuits, this is built to reproduce a specific amplifier's voice, so it is intended to work into a clean platform rather than to push an already-driven amp. It suits classic rock players who want Plexi-era character from a pedal.
