■Legendary drive sound and beyond.
Analog Man is a legendary effects builder active since the '90s, long before boutique pedals created a buzz. These lovingly handcrafted effects exude a unique vibe and unparalleled quality, even today.

Their signature King of Tone included many parts that are no longer available. Therefore, the Brothers AM is not simply a clone of the King of Tone; it was born as a distortion device that takes the legend even further. Developed through over five years of close collaboration with Analog Man, it represents the most advanced form of that coveted ""greedy"" distortion device.


■Every distortion sound imaginable.

Transparent overdrive is all about enhancing the already present components. Even now, more than 20 years after its release, the King of Tone remains unique because it perfectly retains its loud, clear, and highly responsive details.

Based on the King of Tone, the Brothers AM features two identical gain channels arranged in series. Each offers selectable modes: boost, overdrive, and distortion. Additionally, Channel 1 features a two-mode treble booster inspired by the Analog Man Beano Boost.

Stacking these gains creates incredible sonic variety. Used as intended, it delivers timeless, truly transparent drive. Push it further and the gain explodes with sparks.

The pedal also comes with four built-in presets. It ships preloaded with settings recommended by Chase Bliss's favorite, Analog Man. The number of presets can be further expanded using MIDI.

■Simple and extremely practical.
The Brothers AM is arguably the simplest pedal in the history of the Chase Bliss lineup.
Essentially, think of it as two multi-mode gain channels and a two-mode treble booster arranged in series. Use them individually, stack them, blend them together, or switch between them. Simply follow your intuition and you'll get the ""Just Right!"" sound for any situation.
Maximize the tone of your favorite guitar or amp, add ample saturation, and envelop everything in a rich, lush sound. Push your tone into uncharted gain territory. Add a tangled, biting texture. Stand out in any ensemble or mix.
Has a distortion device ever been so versatile?
