April 1, 2025 · 4 sources

Chase Bliss Audio and Analog Man launched the Brothers AM, a collaboration pedal built around the King of Tone circuit, on April 1, 2025. Chase Bliss lists the pedal at $399.00 and says it ships in 1 to 3 business days¹.

The pedal has two identical, multi-mode gain channels that can be stacked, combined and switched, with each channel set to boost, overdrive or distortion¹. It also includes a bonus treble booster circuit inspired by the Analog Man Beano Boost¹. Chase Bliss says the modes, hidden settings and preset options from the King Of Tone are available as adjustable controls that can be changed on the fly¹. The pedal ships with four internal presets, including a recreation of Analog Man's own preferred settings¹.

Specifications from Chase Bliss¹:

Guitar.com's Jason Mays, reviewing the pedal on July 7, 2025, described it as having the same basic layout as the original Chase Bliss Brothers pedal from 2018, with insides designed from the ground up with Analog Man². He wrote that the dip switches add a hi-gain mode for each channel, "adding about 25% to the gain of everything," and that MIDI control offers 128 presets². He rated it 9 out of 10 and called it "by some distance the easiest Chase Bliss pedal I've ever used"².

On That Pedal Show, published April 24, 2025, the hosts said the first batch sold out "almost instantly" and that a second was on the way³. They described the treble booster as sitting before side one, with a brighter and a less bright position, and said internal pots behind the back cover allow further treble booster adjustment³. Guitar Pedal X, in a year-end roundup published December 4, 2025, named the Brothers AM a Silver runner-up among overdrives and wrote that it "doesn't hit exactly the same as the King of Tone" but remains "in the same tonal ballpark"⁴.
