OVERDRIVE-TONE CITY Wild Fire ...very authentic early 70's Crunch

 TONE CITY 
 WILD FIRE 
$55.00 USD
This pedal has had a nich following for over 10 years with guys  
who want an old school heavy Rock Hendrix era vibe. Not Metal 
but the authentic sound of a single channel early 70'S Plexi Stack 
free from Boosts, Fuzz or mods.
The layout is Volume, Gain and Tone. A switch gives you a tighter 
American sound or a wide open fuller bass of a Brit stack. 
            CONCLUSION ___ 
I flat out love it. It captures the breadth and thump 
of the original Plexi. Yes, if you want leads and sustain 
you will have to boost it. Hell that is easy with a pedal 
you probably already own. But you won't find anything 
bordering on old school Crunch without some big
bucks let alone a $55 mini pedal.

Yes I am aware there are many that see this pedal as Suhr Riot clone. 
Big But. The Suhr has a polished studio sound with a weak low end. 
The Fire has a growl in the lows with a grainy rough sound in the harmonics.
 in short try setting up the Fire at its best and try and get the Suhr to copy it 
instead of the opposite. The Suhr can't do it. The Fire is for the guy that thinks a 
Rat is cooler than a Klon, like ME!!! lol
