The Tone King Ironman II Mini is the first time Tone Kings incredibly transparent attenuation has been available outside of one of their amps. Designed to handle up to 30w at 8ohm the this attenuator is a little powerhouse that is actually designed to go on your pedalboard.

Transparent Reactive Load

This is a very simple to set up attenuator. Just set this up between the speaker out and speaker cabinet within your rig and you are ready to go. The amount of attenuation is easily adjustable using the db control on top of the unit with up to -32db attenuation available which is enough to take loud gigging amps to bedroom levels.

Because of its reactive load design that tunes itself to the incoming signal you get next to no difference in tone when using the attenuator or not. No more lost tone just because you didn’t want to annoy the neighbours.

Load Box

One really great use for the Ironman II Mini is a way to load any 30w 8 ohm amplifier. What this means is that when set to -32db you can actually disconnect the speaker cable muting your rig and letting you run out of the line out on the Ironman to your DAW running a cabinet sim.

Solo Mode

One of the reasons you will want to use an attenuator is that you have the perfect amount of gain and saturation but need to lower the volume. So why when you want to go in to a solo would you want to throw more in to the front end of the amp. Instead why not lower the attenuation on the fly…exactly like you can on this attenuator. Just press the Solo footswitch and it will drop either 3 or 6 db for that extra bit of volume.

Boost

A boost pedal does one simple thing brilliantly — it makes your signal louder, stronger, and more alive. Whether you’re pushing a valve amp into natural breakup, lifting a solo above the band, or adding a touch more presence to your core tone, a clean boost gives you extra headroom without changing your character.

Use it at the front of your chain to drive other pedals harder, or after your gain stages to raise volume without adding distortion. Subtle or powerful, transparent or slightly coloured, a boost is one of the most useful tools on any pedalboard — small box, big difference.

Cab Sim

A cab sim pedal recreates the sound of a miked guitar speaker cabinet, allowing you to run direct without losing that crucial speaker character. While amp sims shape the amplifier tone, a cab sim captures the warmth, roll-off, and natural resonance of a real cabinet and speaker. Plug straight into a PA, recording interface, or headphones and still get a finished, mix-ready sound.

Use a cab sim for silent stages, late-night recording, or streamlined boards where carrying a cabinet simply isn’t practical. It’s the final seasoning in a direct rig — smoothing harsh highs, tightening the low end, and delivering that authentic “amp in the room” feel without the actual room.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

used

Used pedals bring character, value, and often a bit of history to your board. Whether it’s a well-loved classic or a recent release looking for its next home, a used pedal offers the same core tone at a more accessible price. Fully tested and described clearly, it’s a chance to grab great gear without paying brand-new money.

Go used to explore different sounds, track down discontinued favourites, or build your setup more affordably. Sometimes a pedal with a few marks on the casing still delivers flawless tone — and might even have a story or two behind it.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
