Tone City has teamed up with blues guitar extraordinaire (and occasional GP columnist) Greg Koch to create the new Lil Heat mini overdrive pedal.
Though it's largely based on Tone City's Sweet Cream pedal, the low-to-medium gain Lil Heat has been gifted with, in Koch's words, “an ass hair more gain and an ass hair more low end.”
The control set is simple, with Volume, Tone and Heat (gain) knobs, plus true bypass switching and mono in and out jacks.
In Tone City's words, the pedal specializes in cranking out "amp-like ‘edge-of-breakup’ tones, and reacts beautifully to your playing nuances." It's also said to work well with other gain pedals, while also letting users "spice up a clean channel or push a driven amp into sweet saturation."
The Tone City Lil Heat mini overdrive pedal is available now for £44.99 (~ $60) at andertons.co.uk.
