This pedal will not work with a 9V battery, and requires a 9V DC power supply (not included).

The Tone City Mandragora is a stunning low to mid-gain overdrive pedal, offering more control than you might expect from a mini pedal. Perfect for everything from blues to classic rock, whether you are running into an overdriven amp or a completely clean rig, you can get some mind-blowing tones from the Mandragora.

The best element of this pedal is its responsiveness, reacting well to your playing dynamics and style.

Versatile Controls

The Mandragora Overdrive has quite a unique setup, that really lets you take control of the circuit and its sound. With your standard gain and volume controls, you also have a tone knob that covers a very wide frequency range. Letting you introduce more top-end presence, this control ensures that you cut through in a mix – no matter how dark-sounding your amplifier is. 

There’s also the pre control, which acts as a further gain and treble control of sorts. You can use this to add some sweet harmonic richness, providing a more vibrant and lively sound that gives plenty of character to solos and big chords. 

Small & Portable

All Tone City pedals are built in a micro pedal format, which not only helps to save precious real-estate on your pedalboard, but also keeps your bank balance healthy thanks to their amazingly low price. But don’t worry, you don’t lose any quality when going down to this small size or cost.

The controls all use high-quality components, and with true bypass switching, your signal will stay as clean and pure as possible.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
