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

Sometimes you need to completely transform your sound into something completely different from what your amp normally does. The Tone City Black Tea Distortion can do just that, providing that unmistakable cranked AC-30 sound that can really make your guitar sing.

If you’re a fan of old-school jangly rock ‘n’ roll or just British rock in general, this pedal is a must-have for your pedalboard.

British Overdrive & Distortion

The Tone City Black Tea is not your typical kind of transparent overdrive that tries to keep your base tone intact. Instead, the Black Tea is designed to go in front of nearly any clean channel, turning your amplifier into something new.

The gain, volume and tone controls work like you would expect on any overdrive pedal. The gain control has a wide spectrum of grit, going from a mild overdrive to a big classic rock sound. The volume is self-explanatory, allowing you to match the level of your unaffected signal for a seamless transition, or turn up it higher for contrasting dynamics.

The tone control, however, is the key ingredient, taking you from a smooth and rounded tone to a bright jangle with plenty of top-end definition and cut.

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.

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.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

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.
