Tone City Black Tea Distortion

Tone City Black Tea: Transform Your Sound with Iconic AC-30 Style British Distortion

The Tone City Black Tea Distortion is designed for guitarists who want to completely transform their clean channel into the unmistakable, singing sound of a cranked British AC-30 amplifier. Unlike typical transparent overdrives, the Black Tea acts as a tonal foundation, imbuing your rig with the sweet, crisp, and jangly characteristics of late 60s Top Boost amps. Featuring a built-in charge pump for expanded headroom and exceptionally low noise, this pedal delivers a mellow mid-range and a highly responsive “clean-up” feel that rivals a real tube amplifier. It is the definitive choice for anyone seeking that classic British rock ‘n’ roll spirit in a compact, reliable stompbox.

Key Features

• Classic Top Boost Emulation: Captures the legendary saturated crunch and bright jangle of vintage British amps, providing a rich sonic palette for old-school rock and beyond.
• Advanced Internal Charge Pump: Equipped with an internal voltage doubler/charge pump to provide a wide headroom and a “dead room” feel with minimal noise interference.
• Versatile Gain Structure: Offers a broad spectrum of grit, transitioning smoothly from a mild, touch-sensitive overdrive to a powerful, full-bodied classic rock distortion.
• Exceptional Dynamic Response: Designed with superior clean-up capabilities, allowing you to control the gain intensity directly through your guitar’s volume knob, just like a high-end tube amp.
