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

The Tone City Sweet Cream Overdrive pedal, as the name suggests, is a smooth-sounding overdrive with an amp-like response. Working wonderfully for adding low-gain grit to a clean signal, the Sweet Cream also stacks well with other drive pedals to achieve huge, rich distorted tones.

If you like your drives crunchy with an edge of break-up tonality, this pedal is really worth checking out!

Simple & Versatile

Opting for essential volume and gain controls, Tone City replaced the conventional tone knob you’d expect to find with a more unique ‘touch’ control. Instead of just rolling off the high-end like a tone control, the touch feature changes the overall response and feel of the pedal, such as EQ and compression. 

The Sweet Cream therefore gives you a wider range of tones than its no-frills layout suggests, making it a solid option for even the most fastidious of tone-chasers!

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.
