Transparent and timeless

Made in collaboration with Analog Man himself, Brothers AM is a tribute to the legendary King of Tone overdrive.

It takes that coveted circuit, gives you advanced control, and tosses in a couple exciting bonuses – but it doesn’t mess with what made it so good in the first place.

A stack of sunny saturation that always manages to sound just right.

made with
Analog Man

This is how it sounds.

Brothers AM effects pedal on the floor of a studio with a guitar, amp and other gear.

Expanded edition

Analog Man’s level of hand-made care has been unmatched and unchanged since the 90’s. There’s no replicating it – each King of Tone is made entirely by hand with near-unobtainable parts.

So instead of trying to clone it, Brothers AM goes further. We worked closely with Analog Man to create an expanded counterpart that lets you enjoy the coveted circuit in a new way.

  • Change modes on the fly

  • Access previously hidden parameters

  • Explore a bonus treble booster circuit

  • Control everything externally (expression, MIDI, CV)

All entirely preset saveable.

Trial & Error

The modes, hidden settings, and pre-set options from the KoT are available here as adjustable controls that can be changed on-the-fly. Tinker and refine freely, and find just the sound you’re looking for.

Fresh Bonuses

Personalize

Brothers AM includes a few refinements that we found handy. Turn the second volume knob into a master volume, link presence and tone together, and control every aspect of the pedal externally – if you wish.

Save

We’ve included an additional bank of presets on Brothers AM for a total of 4 internal sounds, enough to round out a full set. The pedal ships with our favorites, including a recreation of Analog Man’s own preferred settings.

Simple and satisfying

Brothers AM is our most intuitive pedal.

At its heart are two identical, multi-mode gain channels for you to stack, combine, and switch. Choose between boost, overdrive, or distortion, set the gain, set the tone. Done.

In every mode, and every setting, it just sounds good.

Everything you need to know

Triple stack

Brothers AM includes a bonus circuit: A treble booster, inspired by the Beano Boost by Analog Man.

Push your amp to new heights, enjoy biting textures that will cut through any mix, and explore the perks of stacking 3 circuits at once. Brash, bright, and charged.

This is how we made it.
