Tone City TS-style pedal. Naming faux pas.

ChrisDanger

I just saw an Andertons video review of a Tone City pedal that has a very unfortunate name for the local market. I was surprised to see it available here through a local distributor. Would anyone put this on their pedal board? Seems like a recipe for disaster.

I've only heard good things about the Golden Plexi (Marshall clone). But I havn't had a chance to play any Tone City pedals yet - they just havn't trickled down into the gear junkie. Seen a few going 2nd hand around R400 which is pretty good for a true bypass pedal.

Right, thanks. It's the first time I've heard the term.

ChrisDanger I googled it a while back when I first saw the pedal - I was keen on the bad horsie or the lime as a clean-ish boost.

Yoh! I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. Bloody stupid. Surely a Google would've been enough to see that it's a terrible name? Yikes
