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

The Tone City Mandragora is a stunning low to mid-gain overdrive pedal, offering more control than you might expect from a mini pedal. Perfect for everything from blues to classic rock, whether you are running into an overdriven amp or a completely clean rig, you can get some mind-blowing tones from the Mandragora.

The best element of this pedal is its responsiveness, reacting well to your playing dynamics and style.

Versatile Controls

The Mandragora Overdrive has quite a unique setup, that really lets you take control of the circuit and its sound. With your standard gain and volume controls, you also have a tone knob that covers a very wide frequency range. Letting you introduce more top-end presence, this control ensures that you cut through in a mix – no matter how dark-sounding your amplifier is. 

There’s also the pre control, which acts as a further gain and treble control of sorts. You can use this to add some sweet harmonic richness, providing a more vibrant and lively sound that gives plenty of character to solos and big chords. 

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.

That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

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.
