In the beginning, there was overdrive…Not distortion. Certainly not fuzz. But overdrive – that almost miraculously warm, saturated sound of one vintage tube amp pushing the next one just a little too hard. It’s what the blues are made of. And it’s what created rock and roll. In fact, it’s the First Foundation of just about every style of guitar playing out there. And now it’s yours, with the ToneBug Overdrive.

Simply gorgeous
ToneBug Overdrive is a masterpiece of simplicity, offering just the controls you need to give your sound the unmistakable warm edge that’s the hallmark of every guitarist that’s ever meant anything to rock and roll. You get a Gain control for setting the amount of overdrive, a Tone control for tuning the timbre of your gain, and Level for making sure your overall volume is right. It’s neither more nor less than everything you need.

T-Rex tone
What sets ToneBug Overdrive apart from other pedals out there is this: legendary T-Rex tone. It’s the same tone that’s made our top-end pedals such a huge success – and a fixture on the pedal boards of a long list of guitar greats (see our website for recent T-Rex sightings). Try ToneBug Overdrive today, and discover the sweetest vintage overdrive you’ll ever hear

As with all of their pedals, the T-Rex ToneBug series offers sturdy construction, great looks, great sound sound and impeccable workmanship.

Switching - Many people have had questions about switching on the Tonebug series. These are not true-bypass, they are buffered (very much like Boss pedals). Don't worry! You won't experience signal or tone loss with the Tonebug pedals and it's wise to have a buffered pedal on your board, especially with a ton of true bypass effects on there.
