ToneCandy Gets Great Reviews in Vintage Guitar Magazine See Reviews
We have recieved very good reviews on the ToneCandy Skull Overdrive and Distortion Pedal in the November 2011 issue of Vintage Guitar Magazine. We also have a new pedal called the Sugar Rush Overdrive Pedal. We had many requests to offer a clean-to medium gain only overdrive. We took this part of the overdrive circuit out of our Skull Pedal and created a new pedal with a different look.
ToneCandy pedals are not mass-produced. All of our pedals are hand crafted one at a time in America with top quality parts. We also gig test our pedals for months before offering them to the public to make sure that they work as well at a gig as they do in the music store. See Our New Special Lower Prices

This pedal can do it all. It is actually two different pedals in one. The toggle switch selects two very different modes. The overdrive mode gets slight early breakup with more clean headroom, to a smooth medium gain distortion. The second mode switches the pedal into a fat saturated highly overdriven Maximum Boost tone. It sounds the same at gig volume as it does in a small room at low volume without losing any bottom.
Vintage Guitar Magazine says "The ToneCandy Skull Overdrive offers a solid, transparent overdrive along with a thick, over the-top, rock-ready distortion in a one well-crafted box with an appealing vibe."

We have had many requests for a clean-to-medium overdrive pedal so, we took our overdrive circuit from the ToneCandy Skull pedal and created a new pedal. It produces slight early breakup with more clean headroom, to a smooth medium gain distortion. It is transparent with a touch of mid-lows and a plexi feel. Listen to the Skull sound samples in the overdrive mode.
Vintage Guitar Magazine says "The pedal offered a transparent, crunchy overdrive that's fairly touch sensitive and very musical, with no irritating overtone. The Tone control is subtle, but functional, as you can gently roll off the high end without making it sound muddy or losing attack. The O-Drive control dials in anything from a light overdrive to a moderately thick distortion."

ToneCandy Spring Fever Reverb Pedal
The ToneCandy Spring Fever Reverb Pedal is reminiscent of a vintage tube, long spring reverb unit with three easy to use controls. It has 3 analog amplifers. One for the dry guitar signal, one in front of the spring module to warm it up, and an analog amplifier on the output to warm it up again.
- Volume - This is a transparent line boost that can give more gain if desired that works well as an end of a chain boost.
- Reverb - It works like a dwell control that puts more signal to the spring simulator
- Mix - Mixes the wet and dry signal
- See pedal details

The Spring Fever Pedal is hand made in the USA using top quality parts like all ToneCandy pedals.

This pedal can go from very low to a medium high sweet singing distortion. This pedal really defines the notes being played and is very touch sensitive. The Sweet Drive has a dark voicing that enhances the mid-low frequencies like an old class A amplifier, perfect for fattening up combo amps. Now included is a Bright Boost Switch that enables the pedal to deliver even more tone variations. We have gig tested this pedal for 6 months. It sounds the same at gig volume as it does in a small room at low volume. You will love this pedal!

This pedal produces a very transparent overdrive that retains the sound and characteristics of your amp. It produces a fat saturated highly overdriven Maximum Boost tone, even at lower volume levels. It also does not lose its bottom and tone at lower volume settings. This pedal was previously called the Max Overdrive/Distortion and has the same sound as the Max Boost of our ToneCandy 2-switch Double Overdrive/Distortion Pedal. Priced at $199.95.

2 Pedals in one!
The new ToneCandy double overdrive and distortion pedal is the result of a two-year project to create the ultimate overdrive pedal. The pedal is very transparent and retains the sound and characteristics of your amp. It produces a sweet singing Medium Boost tone, and a fat highly overdriven Maximum Boost tone, even at lower volume levels. All ToneCandy pedals have amp like touch sensitivity and they clean up when you turn down your guitar volume control. Your neighbors and nightclub managers won't yell at you anymore to turn it down. You can get just the tone you want at any volume. It is a very versatile pedal with which you can dial in your guitar and amp setup
using the unique Fat-4 switch.
So, what's Fat-4? Fat-4 is a 4-way rotary switch that selects 4 different degrees of low-end fatness. This dials the pedal into your guitar and amp setup. It selects 4 different input tones to compensate for the guitar pickup and the amp/speaker cabinet combination that is being used. For example, if you are playing lead on a Les Paul using the neck pickup through a Marshall stack at high volume, this could produce a very bassy sound, and when using overdrive it can become very mushy with no definition to the notes. The Fat-4 switch along with the tone control can dial in the desired tone. Another example, if you were using a Fender Mustang through a Fender Champ amp, you can fatten up the tone using the Fat-4 switch. For more information see Pedals & Technical Information.

I have been in the music business for 25 years building custom guitars and musical electronic devices. I decided that it was time to build a versatile overdrive pedal that would fit most musicians' needs. ToneCandy pedals are not mass-produced. All of our pedals are hand crafted one at a time in America. We use top quality heavy-duty metal switches, jacks, and cases in the construction of these pedals, and the finest quality electronic components.
