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

If you are a fan of British rock amps, you know exactly what this pedal’s name is referring to. The Tone City Golden Plexi is your classic rock amp sound turned up to eleven, with a timeless plexi-style tone lifted from the very best legendary black and gold amplifiers.

New for 2022, this updated version of the Golden Plexi boasts a tightened and improved gain structure for a more focussed sound with enhanced dynamics!

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 plexi 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. 

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.

Brand

Tone City

TONECITY was founded in 2014 to make guitar pedals, pedal power supplies and related products. Its chief designer, J. Wong, has played guitar and designed pedals for much of his working life. The catalogue covers overdrive, distortion, fuzz, delay, chorus, reverb, phaser, tremolo and boost, alongside board power. JustPedals listings include the Angel Wing chorus, Model M distortion, Wild Fire distortion, Fuxx fuzz and All Spark boost. The range combines compact tone-shaping pedals with practical rig equipment, so the model’s named effect and role are more useful guides than a broad brand label.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.

Battery Powered

Can operate from an internal replaceable battery, usually with different available current and running time from an external supply. Battery chemistry, access and automatic disconnection through the input socket affect practical runtime and storage. High-current digital processing generally shortens battery life more sharply than a simple analogue circuit.

Mini Pedal

Uses a reduced-width enclosure to conserve pedalboard space. The smaller format can limit battery access, footswitch spacing and the number or size of controls, while side-mounted sockets and power placement determine how much space is actually saved once connected.
