Two classic circuits in one pedal
The Throne Of Tone blends two of the most recognisable British amp inspired overdrive circuits into one compact and road ready pedal. One channel is based on the smooth mid gain character of the Bluesbreaker style circuit, while the other draws inspiration from the more focused and customisable King Of Tone design.
Both sides can operate independently or be stacked together, giving you a wide range of tones from clean edge to full drive. Each channel includes a voicing selector, a gain level switch and three drive modes. These modes include clean boost, standard overdrive and a more compressed distortion sound. By including these options without any internal switches or complicated layouts, the Throne Of Tone makes it easy to shape your sound and switch between tones during a live set or studio session.
Detailed tone control and presence shaping
Each side of the pedal includes its own tone and presence control, allowing you to adjust not just the high end but also the midrange character of your drive tone. The presence control focuses on the 500 hertz to 2.3 kilohertz range, helping you to emphasise or smooth out attack and pick response depending on the guitar and amp you are using. These controls sit alongside the traditional volume and gain knobs, giving you a full range of tone shaping options right on the face of the pedal.
A voltage boost switch on the back of the unit lets you increase the internal power from 9 volts to 18 volts. This adds extra headroom and dynamics, especially useful for players who want a bit more clarity in higher gain settings or when using the pedal with humbucking pickups.
Flexible signal routing with true bypass
Signal routing is another strong point of the Throne Of Tone. Each side of the pedal includes true bypass switching, which means your clean tone passes through unaffected when the pedal is off. It also includes a send and return loop, allowing you to place other pedals between the two channels.
This is useful for adding modulation or delay between gain stages, or for splitting your signal chain entirely. A global order switch allows you to decide which side of the pedal comes first in the signal path.
With these options, the pedal works well on its own or as part of a larger setup. Whether you want to add one channel as a boost or combine both into a full overdrive stack, the routing is built to support your choice.
Premium components and hand tested quality
The Throne Of Tone is made using high grade components, including 24 diodes and a combination of JRC4580 and TL072 op amps. Both circuits are fully analogue and have been tuned to deliver a rich and musical response that feels like a real amp being pushed. Each unit is hand tested in Austin, Texas by a team of technicians who are also musicians. This ensures consistent performance and quality control across every pedal that leaves the factory.
Power consumption remains low at 24 milliamps during standard use and 43 milliamps with the voltage boost engaged. The pedal runs on a standard 9 volt centre negative power supply and fits easily into most pedalboard setups. With its solid build, premium components and a five year warranty, the Throne Of Tone is ready for regular use on stage or in the studio.
