Tone City‘s mini pedals have been consistent best-sellers for us over the last few years. Compact, affordable and genuinely great-sounding — there’s a lot to love about them! In the fall, Tone City expanded their lineup with 4 brand new contenders based on some of the stompbox world’s most coveted gain circuits.
The Blues Man is inspired by a modern-classic overdrive released in 1992 by a renowned British amp company. Bringing that same character at a fraction of the price, this pedal is perfect if you want to keep your original tone intact with some smooth yet articulate low-gain drive layered on top. By it’s name alone, the Nobleman is easy to figure out! It possesses a pronounced mid-range and injects your signal with musical, natural-sounding overdrive. Use it to push your clean sound into breakup, or tighten a distorted rhythm tone!
Now, let’s move onto the high-gain heroes… Tone City’s new Mickey pedal emulates a raucous “rodent” distortion circuit; producing hair-raising gain. It features a unique ‘Mod’ switch too, which fattens up the drive — ideal for leads. Finally, we have the mighty Matcha Cream. If you want huge “pie” fuzz tones from a mini pedal, this is one of the best around! Pumpkins and Gilmour tones are more than achievable, trust us.
