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.

Bass
Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.
