Our carefully-curated ‘Blues’ pedalboard bundle encompasses all of the essential effects that you’ll need to follow in the footsteps of guitarists like B.B. King and Eric Clapton! This is the easiest and most cost-effective way to emulate your blues heroes. Included in this package is a small collection of Landlord FX & Tone City mini stompboxes — perfectly suited for players looking to form a simple sonic palette that won’t take up too much space.
These effects can be mounted onto the included Tone City TBP pedalboard, which is a fantastic small-footprint platform. It’s built like a tank, and even comes with a gig bag that allows for easy transport to gigs or recording sessions! The bundle also comes with reliable right-angle patch cables for linking your effects together, as well as a power supply and daisy chain cable to power them all with.
Included Pedals:
Tone City Durple Overdrive
Collaboratively designed with TV presenter Peter “Danish Pete” Honoré, the Tone City Durple is a versatile mini overdrive pedal that offers rich and responsive low-to-medium gain sounds. Unlike many overdrive stomps, the Durple boasts a handy ‘Mid’ control that allows you to attain anything from a smooth and scooped drive sound to a punchy, aggressive crunch!
Tone City All Spark Boost
The Tone City All Spark is a low-gain boost pedal, focused on providing a natural-sounding kick of volume to your guitar signal. Featuring a very simple one-knob design, the thoughtful ‘bright’ switch gives you that extra bit of upper mid-range bite (something that you would want when playing lead parts to ensure that you cut through in a mix), while the ‘fat’ switch enhances the lower frequencies to really fatten things up!
Landlord FX Banging Hangover Reverb Pedal
The Landlord FX Banging Hangover Reverb pedal packs a punch for such a compact unit. With three modes for you to choose from: room, plate, and spring, you have all the essential reverb effects to add to your tone. Using the mix control, you can determine how much dry signal you’re producing, shaping the overall sound of reverb, giving you the choice of soft, harsh, or warm undertones. You can even control the length of the reverb tail for ambient and lavish soundscapes.
Landlord FX Amber Nectar
Add even more flavour to that blues tone you’ve been chasing with Landlord FX’s Amber Nectar Overdrive. This mini stompbox is the perfect pairing to add a sonic variety of sweet, smooth, and tangy tones for a versatile blues pedalboard. Offering two distinctive modes: hammered and half-cut, you can create loud and expressive overtones, or smooth, warm, and dynamic soundscapes. By tweaking the gain knob, you can discover a broad variety controlled gain and sweet spots for articulate impressions, but if you’re wanting something a little heavier then you can turn the gain to the max and break into distortion territory.
Recommended Pedal Signal Chain/Order:
Guitar > Landlord FX Amber Nectar Overdrive > Tone City Durple Overdrive > Tone City All Spark Boost > Landlord FX Banging Hangover > Amp
Alternatively, you could place the All Spark Boost first in your pedalboard chain to drive more gain into the Amber Nectar and Durple overdrive pedals. This won’t achieve the volume-boosting effect, but it works well if you want to achieve high-gain sounds that border on distortion. Ultimately, you can experiment with the order to come up with whatever unique sounds suit you!
