Warm Audios Throne of Tone

Warm Audio · pedal

Warm Audios Throne of Tone is a dual-sided overdrive pedal combining two British-amp-inspired blues circuits, styled after the Marshall Bluesbreaker-derived and Analogman King of Tone-style drives, in one stompbox. Each side offers low and high gain settings and three drive modes spanning boost, overdrive, and distortion, for a combined six voicings from one 100 percent analog circuit built around JRC4580 and TL072 op-amps. It includes true bypass and a series FX loop for flexible pedalboard integration. Reviewers highlight its touch sensitivity and liveliness, delivering rich, creamy overdrive on one side and a polished, assertive boost on the other. Suited to blues and classic rock players who want Bluesbreaker and King of Tone style drive tones without the cost or wait of the boutique originals.
