Collaboratively designed by Tone City and AndertonsTV presenter Peter "Danish Pete" Honoré, the Tone City 'Durple' is aversatile mini overdrive pedal that offers rich and responsive low-to-mediumgain sounds. Whilst not a signature pedal, the Durple is based on Tone City'sbest-selling Mandragora overdrive.
A notable tweak on this pedal includes the 'Mid'control, which has replaced the 'Pre' (presence) knob found on the Mandragora.Letting you cut or boost the amount of mid-range, this thoughtful EQ parameterallows you to attain anything from a smooth and scooped drive sound to apunchy, aggressive crunch.
The 'Tone' control has also been adjusted. While theMandragora provides a super-wide sweep, some users have found its tone controlis more than they need at its max setting. The Durple's tone control offering amore moderate amount of treble, the Tone City Durple remains musical even whenthe tone control is cranked up all the way up.
