All Mini's are not the same ! I have seen some forum comments where some buyers believe that a lot of effects come from the exact same manufacture with just rebranded logos. While this may be true in very limited cases, it is not the norm and all effects are "not" the same either in either build quality, components or tonal responses. TONE CITY has achieved quick acclaim on the market as a company to watch and their line is creating quite a stir. These are very nice sounding units and basically hand built. Check out the reviews, videos and the comments on TONE CITY. Tone City Dry Martini Overdrive Pedal The Dry Martini by Tone City is based in the OCD tonal camp. One of the most sought after overdrive tones for thick rhythm and lead tones that are both as musical as they are smooth and powerful. This pedal can be in all musical applications and also sounds great stacked with another pedal (like the Bad Horse) in front or after it. There are three pots that control the Drive, Volume, and Tone as well as a "fat/thick" switch which instantly adds more or less body to the sound. All Tone City pedals are True Bypass and require a regular 9v Power Supply for operation as there's no battery slot. A must have for any pedal chain. Features at a glance.
