Manufacturer's Description for Radial Tonebone Classic Tube Distortion Pedal

The Tonebone Classic is Radial's most flexible distortion pedal. With 3 drive settings and a variable drive control, you can dial in everything from dirt to drastic and everywhere in between.

The Classic's design is based on vintage overdrive sounds that started in the 1960's and 1970's and today remain some of the most sought after tones. The Classic is exceptionally dynamic and transparent and as such, is extremely adept at retaining your playing style and signature.

Even at high distortion settings, you can turn your guitar level down and the Classic cleans up naturally and without the noise, hum or buzz that is common with most other pedals. At higher settings, every note remains distinct and the natural tone of the instrument shines through.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (41 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "simple, solid, sweet"
Sound: this box has made playing guitar at modest levels enjoyable again. It covers ground from a "classic" overdriven amp to pretty thick higher gain settings. I personally like playing chords with it in the low gain setting with the gain knob at around 2:00. this sounds natural, quite similar to every pedal manufacturer's proverbial "fully cranked vintage amp". Feature: the 15v powersupply is a little odd but necessary to get the proper voltage across the tube, sorry kids, no daisy chaining with a "one spot". Other than that it's pretty simple, like an old amp with a mid-boost and filter. the midboost is pretty cool for single note runs and the filter helps you find the right balance between the pedal and your amp. Not a bells and whistles machine, but it's got what you need. Ease of Use: if you can't make this thing sound good with the slightest bit of knob twiddling, i'd hate to eat your cooking. Quality: solid, these folks make roadworthy equipment that is made to last. Value: for about $20 more than a new tube screamer and much more versatile, this is a steal, solid, made by people who care about what they do and it sounds amazing. Manufacturer Support: i can't imagine a better group of people, prompt and informative email responses, a sense of humor and polite. The Wow Factor: i have it. what it lacks in "boutique pedal flash" it makes up for in sound, personally i think the "tone bone" name is a bit tacky, i never was one for "woman tone" and junk like that but guitar-speak aside, it's a simple great overdrive/distortion. Overall: the only thing that could make this more inticing to me would be to add another channel to it, oh wait that's the tri-mode. thanks radial.
