 TONE CITY LIL HEAT OD 

Anderton's Music in conjunction with Tone City have a small line

of Tone City OD's made. There is one each for their demonstrators.

Another one the Lil Heat was made for Greg Koch.The overall 

sound is very similar to the old Boss OD-1  although I suspect it is a 

revoiced Tone City Sweet Tea which is meant to be a Vox AC30

Note I said 'meant' to be. I do find the Lil Heat voiced much better.

CONCLUSION

It does sound very good but better pedals in the entry level are

few but not so rare anymore. It can only be bought from 

Anderton's so shipping and even duties may be added in some 

countries. Still I quite like it. It is unusually full and rich and a 

great sound. It is not in your face so it is great for busy vocal 

accompaniment. But keep in mind I find the EQ and gain in

any Tone City very limited. In short what you hear on the video 

is what you get.

You might want to check out the Chicago Stompworks Blooze Drive

it is a very authentic Marshall Bluesbreaker replica. It's tones are in 

the ballpark with the 'Heat' and at $75.00 it is not much more to 

get that classic B.B. sound.
