Rich, fat tones reminiscent of the latest high-gain Plexi-style tube amplifiers.

The London 'Bone' from Radial Engineering is a solid-state version of the popular Tonebone Hot British distortion pedal. Inside is a multi-stage drive circuit that produces rich, fat tones reminiscent of the latest high-gain Plexi-style tube amplifiers. This unique circuitry retains note clarity even when driven to extremes.

The Bones London pedal has variable drive that lets you dial-in the perfect amount of distortion, a powerful dual-band equalizer with Radial's distinctive passive-interactive tone circuit, a 3-position 'Kick' switch to add extra mid-range drive or fatten up single coil pickups, plus a 3-position 'Bite' control that can compensate for overly bright amps or add extra cut and sizzle to your tone.

The Radial distortion pedal employs a unique high-performance buffering circuit with preset load correction that retains the performance of 'true bypass' connectivity while lowering the impedance and susceptibility to noise. This enables the London pedal to efficiently drive the guitar signal when using longer cables and lets it employ Radial's own EIS Electronic Impulse Switching for outstanding durability without the challenges of mechanical switches.

For maximum on-stage efficiency, the Bones London is configured for 'clean, rhythm & lead' playability whereby in bypass mode, you get the natural clean sound of your guitar. When the distortion pedal is activated, you can choose between two output drive circuits using the toggle footswitch. Each is equipped with a variable level control ( so that Level-1 can be set for rhythm while Level-2 can be driven at a higher level for lead. To increase sustain and cut for solos, the second drive circuit is augmented in the mid-range. Bright, easy to see LEDs deliver on-stage switching cues so you know exactly where you are at all times.

As most players employ pedalboards, the London features standard 'Boss style' 9V powering that will adapt to most multi-pedal power supplies. The ultra-compact design with top mounted i/o connections allow effects pedals to be placed close together for those wishing maximum pedalboard density.

I love this pedal!! I've never written a review for anything before but after plugging this in I can't stop playing it! This sounds awesome in front of my twin tube overdrive pedal. It’s the total Marshall grind in a compact box. (Which is built like a tank) It really makes my pretty tame Fender hot rod come awake. I never use the 12db bump switch, I usually keep the mids pretty low almost scooped because the 2nd channel has the mids covered. It sounds like a cranked plexi up until 12:00 then it moves into the JCM 800 era but maybe a little less harsh. I usually don't rave about gear. I am really critical of tone but this is definitely staying on my pedal board.
