Overdrive Pedals by Tone City (Cheap & Good?)

Overdrive Pedals by Tone City (Cheap & Good?)
I've heard some good things about Tone City pedals, and they are very affordable. So are they a possible solution if you need a budget friendly overdrive pedal? Let's find out.
The pedals I'll be trying today are the Nobleman, Kaffir Lime, Golden Plexi 1 and 2, and the Bad Horse.
Enjoy!

I have allot of pedals allot.and I bought the boss metal core ml2 and it's fantastic pedal

It's great to hear more about this type of pedal. They've been on my radar for a while now, and the biggest advantage is that they're relatively portable and compact. Nowadays, there are many pedals on the market, but being able to fit several pedals on a small pedalboard is a huge advantage compared to the bulky boards that look more like chopping blocks in your kitchen .

The Klon was mentioned. I did a quick look. The used Klon Centaurs go for around $8, 000 US these days. (€7, 280) This pedal stuff seems a bit strange sometimes. Cheers!

My favourite tone city overdrive is the black tea. It's sort of a vox amp in a box type thing, sounds really authentic. You should try it sometime!

[jcollell]

They sound good but a couple of them like the Kaffir Lime were pretty noisy. If you want to check out a really cool OD I recommend the Ceriatone Horsebreaker. It is a Klon (Centura circuit) and Bluesbreaker dual circuit that you can run independent or stacked.

I did your practice schedule a few months back and it made me so much faster than I thought I could even play! Then I stopped practicing and I flattend out, lol So I gotta practice more but it works so well! THANKS!!! 1234, 4321, 1234, every fret! up and down back and forth

great video, helped me with purchase, thanks bro!

[MadDrummer]

Elmo, what are the pickups on that strat? They sound amazing! Great video, as always!

[GRBAquatics]

Very Cool, Thankyou. These pedals all sound awesome and seem great value for money. Always hearing good things about them. 'Static' Noise is a bit of a worry though. And in Australia certain Boss Pedals are $20- to $30- Cheaper. I know which I'd rather have. Cheers

I'm picking up a guitar and amp bundle soon, I'm a complete beginner so I don't know much about the guitar included which is a Eko S300. The amp is a marshall MG10. For the guitar I havent been able to find many reviews online so I was wondering if you've heard of it.

I wonder how they'd behave if used with a switcher and a fully isolated power supply?
It could be that their buffer circuits were interacting, the way that they were connected.
I have their Bad Horse and the Sweet Cream with no problems.

Re Cheap pedals, Yeah you can come unstuck sometimes.
I had two Donner Morphers break on me before I got myself a REAL Suhr Riot ...
To be fair, the second one died when I fumbled the surface mount soldering while trying to modify it ...

Tone City pedals add that vintage frying bacon tone. More pork for your buck.

[HunnysPlaylists]

the seven sirens or what have you pedals from a decade ago were quite decent, but those were rechargeable and didn't need 9v.

[johnomeara]

is the neck on your guitar scalloped? Nice playing btw

[metalsett]

Hello Elmo, can you test another stratocaster that is Jay Turser JT 300? Its another cheap guitar, known also as "The best cheap guitar for beginners".

[stealthbum]

I have the Tone city king of blues. Saw it on Andertons comparing it to the king of tone which in the demo vid sounded identical. Gotta say i’m kind of indifferent to it. It sounds…fine. I don’t use it much though.

[cylonhibrid]

I a bit older, do not like these small pedals, I like The bigger stuff, a bit like reading small writing. LIke to see what I using.

[skaboosh]

went don't you start with a real clean tone?

[davidhowe]

What's the electric guitar you are using there Elmo??

[redfrozenseven]

Have you tried the Tone City Hot Mama pedal?
