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

The Revv Tilt Boost is the standalone boost half of Shawn Tubbs' Signature Series Tilt Overdrive, extracted into its own dedicated pedal. A Boost control sets output level, a two-position switch chooses between up to 20dB of clean boost or touch-sensitive clipping, and a Tilt EQ control simultaneously attenuates bass and treble in opposite directions, shifting tonal balance without a full multi-band EQ. Designed as an always-on pedal, it's meant to add analog liveliness and presence to an existing rig without fundamentally altering the base tone, effectively waking up a static amp sound.
The Tone City Holy Aura is a USA-amp-inspired high-gain distortion pedal with an independent 20dB clean boost circuit built in, aimed at classic American high-gain amp tone with rich harmonics and sustain. Gain, Presence, and Volume controls pair with a 3-band Bass/Mid/Treble EQ for precise tone shaping, while the onboard boost adds volume and additional gain without sacrificing note definition, letting players push a solo or add extra saturation without a separate boost pedal. It's built to balance tonal flexibility and control, delivering high-gain clarity rather than a single fixed distortion wall.
