Product Description

The Tonebone Hot British is distortion at its best! From fat hot-wired Marshall tones to the huge scooped out mid sounds, the Hot British is blistering brute force extraordinaire!

Based on high-gain amplifier designs, the Hot British is tailored to extract ultra-rich harmonics and full-on saturated tube settings without the mud or noise that is typical with other pedals. The powerful EQ settings truly allow the player to dial in to the type of tones that create everything from chunky rhythms to sizzling lead solos.

Best of all, even when pushing the Hot British beyond the limits, the natural dynamics and feel of the player still shines through.

"Best distortion pedal for 80-90's metalhead!!!"
Sound: Sound so great! Its compatible to my distortion need in covering 80's rock/metal like Whitesnake, Skid Row, Helloween etc. When I need more drive and sustain for solo I boosted it with my digitech bad monkey. Recently my friend told me that it could sound different between hotbritish and other hotbritish. And when he compared his hotbritish with his friend's hotbritish he found out that his hotbritish is more dominant in low freq even when using the same settings and same guitar but he loves it. Any explanation about this? Feature: It's good, the most useful features is the countour knob :D Ease of Use: It's very easy, no need to read the manual. Quality: Built like a tank... no need to worry. Manufacturer Support: Never contacting them The Wow Factor: I love it, thats what i can say Overall: I have search distortion pedal for about a year. Before that I always wish to had Mesa Twin Pedal but the price is insane and it was discontinued product.
Style of Music: 80-90's Rock/Metal

"Good things can come from Canada!"
Sound: The tone is great out of this unit. Perfect Marshal British sound. The pedal has great sustain and cut right through the mix. I use it with a Les Paul Studio and I can get the chunk I need for the heavier songs. Feature: The High and Lows knobs actually change the sound! I usually run the Lows higher then the High and I also use the mid boost and the Top End on Bright the voicing Fat and the mid boost at 7db. Great chunky sound! Quality: Heavy duty construction, metal case it will stand the test of time. Value: Was able to find a used one for $150, and it works like brand new! Manufacturer Support: Haven't had a problem with it. The Wow Factor: Pretty simple looking case and designs. Straight and to the point just how I like it. Overall: Overall the pedal took some playing around to find the right sound, but after it was dialed in I can't play without it. Get product and I recomend it to a puriest who wants the great british sound!
Style of Music: Alt, Rock, Emo, Grundge, Jazz, Blues, Funk and many more!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission.
