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

This may be the smallest and most affordable pedal based on the legendary Klon available today! The Tone City Bad Horse is a musical overdrive that captures the essence of the iconic gold pedal, fitting the circuit into an ergonomic mini pedal enclosure.

If you’re after a super-sweet overdrive without spending the crazy amounts that some people pay for the original, the Bad Horse is an amazing choice!

Versatile Range of Drives

This small yellow pedal has a lot to live up to, being based on the highly-desirable Klon circuit. However, the Bad Horse blows away any expectations you may have of small pedals, especially when it’s based on such a complex and admired overdrive.

The Tone City Bad Horse has enough grit to take you into a medium-gain crunch on its own, but it is really in its element when used in conjunction with an already driven amp. The slight mid-range boost that it offers will help you to cut through in a mix, and the extra gain that it delivers will push your guitar’s sustain to a new level.

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.

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.
