TOAD

Tone Overdrive And Distortion TOAD is not just any overdrive pedal — it's a multifaceted tone-shaping device. While it shines in producing a lush overdrive, its features go much further. By reducing the GAIN and using the compatible TADPOLE, TOAD can gently refine your clean tone, adding elements like clarity and warmth, or other tonal qualities you may prefer. This enables you to customize your clean sound for any musical scenario. At these lower GAIN settings, TOAD can infuse your signal with a hint of harmonic richness or a soft edge, enhancing your tone without necessarily diving into overdrive. You can also leave the gain untouched for a clean boost. This broad dynamic range makes the TOAD an essential tool for guitarists wanting detailed control over their sound, whether they’re pursuing overdrive or a polished clean tone. This tonal versatility may not be immediately apparent, so take the time to explore and unlock the TOAD’s full capabilities! The PRE TONE control adjusts the frequency contour of the signal's highs and lows before it reaches any distortion stages, allowing you to modify the guitar's natural tone prior to applying effects. The GAIN section features two overdrive stages, offering a choice between Symmetrical (NATURAL setting) or Asymmetrical clipping (DARK setting). Symmetrical clipping mimics the qualities of tube/valve pre-amplifiers, while Asymmetrical clipping echoes the sound of classic transistor saturation. Following the distortion stages, the POST TONE and CHOKE controls enable you to customize the high and low frequency content of the processed signal. Lastly, the LEVEL control manages the overall output level of your sound.
