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

If you’re looking for classic overdrive tones in a compact, pedalboard friendly package, look no further than the Tone City Nobleman Overdrive!

Simple Controls, Deep Sounds

While there are only three controls on this mini pedal, Tone City has incorporated the essentials. The volume control acts as you would normally expect, with the tone and gain controls having a wider range than you would expect. Delivering everything from a sweet crunch to smooth leads, this versatile pedal lets you attain fantastic tones suitable for blues, rock and metal.

The sensitivity of the tone control means that you can run this pedal into the clean channel of nearly any amplifier, and the get classic, natural sounding overdrive you are craving. Alternatively, keep the drive low and push your already overdriven amp further into saturation for some super tight rhythms or smooth leads.

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.

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.
