Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Godlyke Ibanez TS9 Tamura Mod is a factory-modified version of the Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer overdrive, with modifications performed by legendary Japanese circuit modifier Kenji Tamura. Like the TS808 Tamura Mod, the TS9 version receives Tamura component enhancements that improve the dynamics, harmonic richness, and openness of the standard TS9 circuit. The TS9 delivers a slightly brighter, more forward midrange character than the TS808, and the Tamura modifications refine this character further for a more expressive, dynamic drive.

The JHS AT+ is a signature overdrive pedal designed in collaboration with guitarist Andy Timmons, based on an enhanced version of the Nobels ODR-1 circuit. Andy Timmons is known for his transparent, expressive lead tone on Ibanez guitars, and the AT+ is voiced to replicate his signature overdrive character with added treble control and a clean blend function not found in the original Nobels. The pedal produces a warm, organic overdrive with excellent note articulation and dynamic response, favoring blues-influenced lead playing and melodic rock styles. The clean blend preserves low-end definition while adding harmonic richness. JHS and Andy Timmons co-designed the circuit to function as both a standalone overdrive and a boost into a driven amplifier.
