Are They The Same? The Violet VS the Hard Drive

Simply put, no. The circuits are quite different. In the Violet, the mids controls come before the distortion circuit, making it a powerful pre-amp tone shaping device. All the EQ controls come after the distortion circuit on the Hard Drive. The Hard Drive is a soft clipping distortion with an op-amp drive section, while the Violet is a hard clipping distortion. Still not convinced? The listen to them side by side.
