Description

Spread the love

The Cinders is a tube-like overdrive pedal with a slight mid-hump to give you those TS Style tones. It’s great to push the front end of a tube amp or to stack with other drive pedals.

Key Features

Top-Mounted Jacks – The top-mounted jacks make these pedals easier to use on a pedalboard where you’re trying to save space. You can get away with putting loads of pedals right next to each other on the board and the more the merrier right?
TC Analogue Range – The Cinders is part of the TC Electronic analogue range. All easily powered with 9v power and made to save space on any pedalboard. They’re small without being ‘mini-pedal’ sized and come in a roadworthy enclosure ready to tour with.
Transparent Tube-Like Overdrive – Cinders has an extremely responsive and expressive feel with a super wide gain-range.

Here’s what TC Electronic say about the TC Electronic Cinders Overdrive:

Cinders Overdrive is the perfect tool for blues shredders and retro rockers. Its all-analog circuit convincingly recreates the warm harmonic distortion associated with hard-pressed tube amps. And its responsiveness… man! Whether you pick the strings with a dust broom or with a fire iron, Cinders Overdrive keeps up. And thanks to a super wide gain-range your tone will stay transparent at all times.

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.

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.
