StewMac has released the StewMac Two Kings Dual Boost Overdrive as a pre-built pedal, Pedal of the Day reported on November 2, 2025. The pedal had previously been offered as a buildable kit¹.

The unit has two independent channels in one box, each capable of clean boost or drive². Each side carries Volume, Drive and Tone controls: Volume sets overall output level, Drive controls how much signal hits the clipping stage, and Tone adjusts top-end brightness². A set of DIP switches on each side selects the mode: all switches down for Clean Mode, switches 1 and 3 up for Overdrive Mode with soft clipping, and switches 2 and 4 up for Distortion Mode with hard clipping. The report notes that more clipping means lower output volume². An internal trim pot adjusts brightness, counterclockwise for a brighter tone and clockwise for darker².

The power figures and enclosure dimensions are as listed by Pedal of the Day². The report warns not to exceed 9VDC².

Pedal of the Day describes the circuit as delivering "that Centaur tone without the five-figure collector's budget, the speculative hype, or the soldering iron"². Premier Guitar, reviewing the kit version, describes the pedal as inspired by Analog Man's King of Tone and lists it at $129.99¹. The two accounts differ on format: Pedal of the Day reports the pedal is now pre-built, while the Premier Guitar page describes it as a kit²¹. Premier Guitar also states that buyers can choose a white or bare enclosure and that custom labels are included¹.
