A few caveats:
Many of the tones appear to be generic and so it would foolish to expect a perfect match for everything listed. Finding the 'right' pedal match has been like solving a cryptic crossword puzzle with various clues suggested in the title, graphic icon, description and control layout. Many or most of the virtual effects represent the iconic pioneering ancestors of the multitudes of effect pedals we have today. The process of researching these various devices and their history has been educational and hugely rewarding.

Some Zoom patches offer just a few limited features of a notable device, like the Eventide Space for instance. Others are complete red herrings. For instance Rocksmith's Super Drive icon closely resembles the BD-2 Blues driver in appearance but it is described as an "80's Style Overdrive". The BD-2 came out in '95 so it can't possibly be that! The clue's in the name - Super Drive = SD-1 Super Overdrive. The SD-1 came out in '81 as BOSS's answer to the Tube Screamer. It has a similar mids hump as the famous green pedal and is the only Rocksmith offering that covers the same sonic niche as the iconic Tube Screamer.
Rocksmith doesn't seem to offer a Blues Driver but the v.3 MS-50g does have a Dynamic Drive which is described as "...easily achieves the warm drive tone of a tube amp". Zoom is clearly paraphrasing Boss's own BD-2 blurb: "This popular pedal provides instant access to the kind of warm overdrive and emotive distortion usually reserved for 30-year-old tube amps" - Bingo!

Other effects have been harder to pin down and so the spreadsheet currently remains a work in progress. The Vocoder effects are clearly wrong (presently in Jun '22). I've begun greying out and/or using question marks beside 'iffy' effects that I'm less than certain about. Helpful comments and suggestions for these would be welcome.

I have TWO columns for real world equivalents. This reflects the fact that many Tone Designer/Multistomp are generic and/or overlap. sometimes I put in a modern, currently available, a budget option or a similarly iconic sonic equivalent as an alternative

I've included a 5 star Rating column. Grey stars reflect my impression of an effect from online comments and reviews. Green stars are my own personal view. 3 stars = Neutral, No stars = no opinion, obvs.

As I say, it's an ongoing labour of love obsession and still not complete by any means.I just hope others may find it useful.
