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 Tru-Fi Newton is a Klon Centaur-inspired overdrive and clean boost pedal offered in a compact modern enclosure. Its top-panel Centaur/Brown mode switch selects between a stock Centaur-style voicing and a Brown mode with roughly 20 percent more gain on tap. Internal DIP switches let players further tailor the circuit: one pair selects between stock treble response or a fuller, bassier voicing, while a second set chooses among the original 1N34A germanium diode clipping, no diode at all for a cleaner boost, or asymmetrical silicon diodes for a different breakup character. This flexibility lets the Newton function as either a transparent clean boost or a low-to-medium gain overdrive with the mid-forward push associated with Centaur-style circuits, without needing a different pedal for each variant.
The Walrus Audio Voyager MKII is a substantial redesign of the original Voyager transparent overdrive, adding a footswitchable parametric mid-frequency EQ with +/-12dB boost/cut and a Freq knob sweeping the midrange center from 250Hz to 2kHz, well beyond the original's simple three-knob layout. It also introduces five distinct clipping modes, Classic 1N34A Germanium, Germanium with Bass Boost, Symmetric Silicon, Asymmetric Silicon, and Asymmetric Silicon with Bass Boost, plus a redesigned enclosure with top-mounted jacks and a soft-touch relay footswitch. This Sea Foam colorway is a finish option on the MKII hardware.
