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 JHS Bonsai is a nine-in-one overdrive that houses faithful recreations of nine famous Tube Screamer style circuits, selectable with a rotary switch, each built from components specific to that mode rather than a single circuit with tweaks. The modes span the Boss OD-1, the TS808 and TS9, the rare MSL and TS10, the Exar OD-1, the higher-gain TS7, the Keeley Mod Plus, and a JHS Strong mode, ranging from brighter low-gain drives to thicker, higher-gain and modified voices with varying midrange, low end, and gain. It is used both to add classic warm overdrive to a clean channel and to boost a gain channel with different flavors, making it a definitive reference and comparison tool for the entire Tube Screamer family in one pedalboard-friendly box.
The Wampler Moxie is a mini overdrive modeled on the Ibanez TS10 Tube Screamer circuit, delivering the same warm, mid-focused overdrive character, smooth compression, and pronounced midrange hump that defines the Tube Screamer family, built to Wampler's typically low-noise, premium-component standard in a compact mini enclosure. It works as a classic low-to-medium gain blues and rock drive or as a boost stacked into an already-driven tube amp. It suits players wanting the familiar TS10 voice on a smaller, pedalboard-friendly footprint.
