A Strong Evolution in the Series: The "Plexi" Spirit in a Large Format
The T-D Series Model M presents itself as the big sister of the Golden Plexi: same "British stack" DNA and vintage spirit, but with more headroom and more possibilities. The goal is clear: to recapture that "Plexi" distortion with a responsive touch, capable of moving from an organic crunch to a denser saturation, while maintaining good chord clarity.
For Whom, Which Styles, and In What Contexts?
This distortion pedal is aimed at guitarists who want a rock-typed drive with character, without falling into an overly compressed sound. It suits both intermediate players and seasoned musicians looking for a responsive pedal that's easy to integrate into a pedalboard.
In practice, the Model M is comfortable in rock, hard rock, classic rock, blues rock, and punk. In the studio, it provides an immediately usable "pushed amp" color; live, the volume boost helps cut through the mix for leads and key parts, without having to change your entire gain setting.

Questions frequently asked
What tonal character does the Tone City Model M offer?
The distortion features a Plexi-style color, with present mids and a clear attack. The Crunch mode emphasizes a dynamic amp-like texture, while the High Gain mode provides more thickness and sustain.
Is the pedal suitable for rock and hard rock?
Designed for rock, hard rock, classic rock, blues rock, and punk, it aims for an expressive drive rather than an ultra-modern distortion.
What volume boost level is available?
The boost shared between the two modes can reach a maximum output level of 17 dB. It allows increasing the volume during solos or parts needing more presence. The current consumption indicated with the boost activated is 45 mA.
What power supply is required for this pedal?
A regulated 9 V DC power supply is required.
Is the Model M suitable for humbuckers?
Its 1 MΩ input impedance and standard -10 dB input level correspond to typical guitar use. The specified headroom helps maintain tight lows and clean attacks with humbuckers or pickups with high output levels.
