Blended 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.

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 Vertex Ultraphonix HRM is an analog overdrive pedal with a distinctly British amp-style voicing. The Gain control sets how hard the internal preamp stage is driven, shaping the amount of distortion produced, while Accent controls add tone presence and layer in additional saturation. It's built to respond closely to pick dynamics, accentuating the vocal, expressive qualities of a guitar-and-amp combination rather than delivering a single fixed gain texture. It sits within the broader Ultraphonix line as the HRM-specific voicing, distinct from the newer Ultraphonix MkII revision.
