Radial Tonebone Hot British Tube Distortion Pedal
The Radial Tonebone Hot British is a tube guitar distortion pedal that combines
a real 12AX7 tube with an ultra-low noise hybrid circuit. It is modelled after
the mega-stack tones from the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s to produce rich harmonics
and deep powerful bass and is without a doubt the metal player’s delight.
The Hot British features a unique voicing switch and contour control for huge
tonal range. The voicing switch selects a fat boost or mid-notch and the contour
control sweeps the center frequency. The scooped mid-setting lets you dial-in
‘chunk’ to match your amp while the ‘fat’ setting lets you enhance the mid-range
for up-front power chords and soloing. Powerful high and low EQ let the player
compliment the tone of his system and a top end switch can compensate for overly
bright or dark sounding amplifiers.
Best of all, even at high distortion settings, the Hot British does not muddy-up.
Each string retains its distinctiveness, allowing complex chords to work when
distorted.

- Real 12AX7 tube distortion
- True bypass switching
- Powerful EQ for wide tonal range
- Mid-range boost cuts through the mix
- Voicing switch adds “scooped” or “fat” character
