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

The Tone City Dry Martini Overdrive pedal is based off a very popular, aggressive-sounding white and black drive pedal. With 2 modes of operation and all of the controls you need to take full advantage of this great circuit, the Dry Martini is built to be used as a low-gain boost or as a potent medium-gain drive.

Versatile Drive Tones

The Dry Martini is a diverse drive pedal, that can be used as a solid boost to push the front end of your amp. However, with more extreme settings, the Dy Martini turns into a powerful and punchy medium gain drive that verges on full-on distortion.

Working brilliantly into the clean channel of your amp, you can attain this wide range of sounds not only from the typical gain, tone and volume controls, but also with the added strong switch as well. When engaged, this single switch increases the low-end definition, which is amazing if you need a bit more chunk for riffs or solos.

Small and 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.

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.
