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. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.46% — somewhat different

The Keeley Filaments is a high-gain distortion pedal from Keeley Electronics delivering tight, focused, harmonically rich saturation suited to modern rock and metal applications. The circuit provides powerful gain with controlled low-end tightness and mid-presence for note definition in dense playing contexts. The Filaments is positioned as Keeley's primary high-gain distortion offering, providing the saturated, cutting character needed for modern heavy music without the loose, unfocused quality of some fuzz-based high-gain designs.
The Tone City Model M is a budget Mesa/Boogie-inspired distortion pedal from Tone City's Model series, delivering tight modern American high-gain character in a compact mini format at budget pricing.
