This pedal will not work with a 9V battery, and requires a 9V DC power supply (not included).

Sometimes you need to completely transform your sound into something completely different from what your amp normally does. The Tone City Black Tea Distortion can do just that, providing that unmistakable cranked AC-30 sound that can really make your guitar sing.

If you're a fan of old-school jangly rock 'n' roll or just British rock in general, this pedal is a must-have for your pedalboard.

British Overdrive & Distortion

The Tone City Black Tea is not your typical kind of transparent overdrive that tries to keep your base tone intact. Instead, the Black Tea is designed to go in front of nearly any clean channel, turning your amplifier into something new.

The gain, volume and tone controls work like you would expect on any overdrive pedal. The gain control has a wide spectrum of grit, going from a mild overdrive to a big classic rock sound. The volume is self-explanatory, allowing you to match the level of your unaffected signal for a seamless transition, or turn up it higher for contrasting dynamics.

The tone control, however, is the key ingredient, taking you from a smooth and rounded tone to a bright jangle with plenty of top-end definition and cut.

Small & Portable

All Tone City pedals are built in a micro pedal format, which not only helps to save precious real-estate on your pedalboard, but also keeps your bank balance healthy thanks to their amazingly low price. But don't worry, you don't lose any quality when going down to this small size or cost.

The controls all use high-quality components, and with true bypass switching, your signal will stay as clean and pure as possible.

The Important stuff

Distortion — Distortion pedals deliver the raw, aggressive edge that defines rock and metal, transforming your clean tone into something powerful and full of attitude. By pushing your signal into rich harmonic saturation, they create thick, sustaining sounds that cut through any mix. From classic crunchy riffs to high-gain modern mayhem, distortion pedals give you total control over how wild or tight your tone gets. Whether you’re crafting searing leads or heavy rhythm walls, they’re an essential tool for adding energy, bite, and character to your playing.. Guitar FX — Guitar effects pedals add character, texture, and personality to your sound. From subtle ambience and reverb to heavy distortion or experimental modulation, effects shape how your guitar interacts with the world. A good setup starts with the basics like overdrive, delay, and chorus, then expands into creative territory with fuzz, phaser, or looper pedals. Whether you want vintage tones or modern soundscapes, experimenting with different combinations will help you discover your own signature style..
