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

If you’re looking for classic “rodent” style distortion tones in pedalboard friendly package, look no further than the Tone City Mickey Distortion!

Simple Controls, Deep Sounds

While there are only three controls on this mini pedal, Tone City has incorporated the essentials. The volume control acts as you would normally expect, with the tone and gain controls having a wider range than you would expect. Delivering everything from a sweet crunch to crushing high-gain, this versatile pedal lets you attain fantastic tones suitable for blues, rock and metal.

The sensitivity of the tone control means that you can run this pedal into the clean channel of nearly any amplifier, and get the classic “rodent” distortion sound you are craving. Keep the control low for a smooth lead tone, or crank it higher for a more cutting sound that’ll pierce through nicely in a mix.

The mod switch pushes the Mickey further into overdrive for a bigger, fatter, more saturated tone, ideal for lead parts.

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.

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

Distortion Pedals

Distortion pedals create a heavier, more aggressive gain sound than most overdrive pedals, giving guitarists the sustain, bite and saturation needed for rock, punk, metal and hard-hitting lead tones. They can turn a clean amp into a high-gain platform or add an extra layer of intensity to an already driven sound.

Some distortion pedals are tight and modern, while others are raw, fizzy or vintage-inspired. Choosing the right one depends on whether you want chunky rhythm tones, singing sustain, scooped metal sounds or a classic hard-rock voice with plenty of attack.

Distortion

Distortion pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Distortion related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
