OVERDRIVE- TONE CITY Holy Aura & the Big Rumble ___ NEW ___ both a MIAB ???

$115.00 USD
TONE CITY  HOLY AURA
Not so new as a version two of their MIAB. It is definably more convincing.
Like an amp you get Volume, Treble, Mid, Bass and Presence. The gain acts as your preamp level. Finally you get a switchable Boost.
CONCLUSION ____
It is very good and usable MIAB. It lacks serious definition in the harmonics and overtones but it is free of mud and smearing.

TONE CITY  BIG RUMBLE
$115.00 USD
A Dumble in a Box? An amp that was based on a 65 Fender Bassman.
The Marshall JTM 45 was also based on a Bassman so in effect it is another MIAB. The layout has a standard volume, Gain and Tone. The Attack is a Mid boost and the cleans is just that. You can blend in clean sound. It too has a Boost.
CONCLUSION ____
It is more the same than different. Actually the secret sauce on this one is that the Clean blend that gives this pedal definition and detail that makes it have a more upmarket vibe. It is a bit less fat but in a band the sound will definitely cut better and sound like you paid big bucks for some gourmet special.
