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.34% — somewhat different

The Maxon DS-II Reissue is a reissue of Maxon's vintage DS-II distortion pedal, one of the classic Japanese distortion circuits from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Maxon is the Japanese manufacturer that originally produced the Ibanez Tube Screamer circuit, and their own original designs reflect Japanese construction quality and careful circuit engineering. The DS-II reissue makes this vintage circuit available to contemporary players.
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.
