Tone City - Bad Horse Overdrive

The Tone City Bad Horse Overdrive is a compact and powerful pedal designed to deliver a smooth, creamy overdrive that will enhance your playing.

Ideal as a clean boost or to add character to an already overdriven amp, this pedal excels in a variety of setups.

It preserves the unique character of your guitar and amp, while taking advantage of its clean-drive mixing circuit and germanium diode, which ensure a clean tone even at high gain levels.

Its gentle midrange boost lets your tone stand out in a mix, while the subtle addition of gain significantly extends your guitar's sustain.

With enough bite to achieve mid-gain overdrive when soloing, the Bad Horse is particularly effective when paired with a lightly overdriven amp.

The 2025 version benefits from an improved internal boost circuit and an even more refined tonal adjustment, making it perfectly suited to single-coil pickups, especially in the neck position.

Its compact size and robust design make it an ideal addition to any pedalboard, while its true bypass ensures full signal preservation when the pedal is deactivated.

Powered by a standard 9V DC source, it integrates easily into any setup.

Whether you are looking for a transparent boost or a subtle but expressive saturation, the Bad Horse Overdrive offers exceptional performance in a minimalist format, worthy of the expectations of discerning guitarists.
