Description

Very few pedals have had impact that the classic, green-boxed overdrive has had, famed for its dynamic response, simmering heat and brilliant ability to pair with other pedals and on top of amp gain. The Green Tube is Tone City’s tribute to the iconic effect, but with an updated twist to make it more flexible to dial in the gain you want based on your setup.Two compression modesThe Green Tube delivers exceptional TS style drive textures, whether you’re using it as a standalone effect for pop or country, layering gain for blues or rock, or adding sharp attack for metal.What you get out of the additional compression switch are two ways to configure the overdrive. In the top position, a tamed but rich mid-and-high EQ with a strong lower punch at higher gain levels. This is great for stacking gain for heavily compressed power.The bottom position reduces the compression, places less emphasis on the low-end and boosts the mids and highs. The result is a brighter, more evenly balanced tone with exceptional dynamics. This works as a great lightly coloured. gain booster.Premium craftsmanship Tone City have gone all out for quality. They’ve made the Green Tube with true audiophiles in mind, building the pedal with premium immersion gold plated PCBs, military grade metal film resistors, WIMA audiophile capacitors, and rigorously screened operational amplifiers, diodes, and transistors. All this means is boutique effects pedal standards in both the tonal quality and longevity departments.Key FeaturesIconic green TS style overdrive tone no longer obtainable outside faithful recreationsFrom bright edge-of-breakup to searing grit through to tightening up metal attackFlexible compression switch to change EQ voicingsMade with premium materials for high-quality sonic textures and durabilitySpecificationsInput Impendence: 1MΩOutput Impendence:10KΩCurrent Draw: 8mAPower supply: DC 9V adaptorDM: 12(L)*10(W)*5.2(H) cmNet Weight: 0.49 kgTrue bypass

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

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.

Guitar Pedal

Guitar pedals alter, route, control or support an instrument signal from the floor. The tag covers individual effects, multi-effects, switching, tuning, looping, amplification and pedalboard utilities. The product category and additional effect tags identify the specific job each pedal performs.

Overdrive

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit, and natural compression to your tone, capturing the feel of a pushed tube amp. They respond dynamically to your playing, offering everything from a light bluesy crunch to full, saturated rock tones. Perfect for boosting solos or shaping your core sound, an overdrive pedal brings character and life to any setup. Whether you prefer vintage smoothness or modern bite, these pedals are essential for players who want expressive, touch-sensitive drive with plenty of personality.

Valve Amp

Valve amplifiers use vacuum tubes in part or all of the amplification path. Their response depends on circuit design, output stage, speaker load and operating level rather than valve technology alone. Compare power, channel structure, master volume, attenuation, speaker outputs and maintenance requirements.
