Tone City TC-T6 Kaffir Lime Overdrive

Tone City · pedal

The Tone City TC-T6 Kaffir Lime is a mid-boosted overdrive in a compact mini pedal format, retaining full-size feature parity with Gain and Volume controls plus a 2-band Bass/Treble EQ despite its small footprint. It works especially well pushing an already-driven amp for extra saturation and sustain, and equally well into a clean amp for a bluesy crunch suited to both solos and chords. Its mid-forward character is designed to cut through a mix, aimed at players wanting a boost-and-overdrive hybrid rather than a purely transparent or purely high-gain pedal.
