The Tonebone Hot British is tube distortion at its best! Fashioned from a modified Marshall double-stack plexy, the Hot British delivers five decades of brute power for everything from scooped-out chunky rhythm to screaming sizzling hot lead tones.
Based on high-gain amplifier designs, the Hot British employs a triple hybrid gain stage that combines the control and dynamics of solid-state with the warmth and harmonic generation only possible from a real 12AX7 tube. This unique design produces ultra-rich harmonic textures and full-on saturated tube settings without the mud or noise that is typical with other pedals. Listen and you will hear how each note retains its distinctiveness and clarity, right down to the lowest notes.
Switch on the Contour, dial in the interactive EQ and wham! Enter a world where huge, musically rich tones that you never thought possible magically come alive. No other pedal delivers more - no other pedal even comes close!
God save the Queen!
"Kirk Hammet, Kerry King, Steve Lukather, Eric johnston, Alan Holdsworth, Frank Gambale, Gary Moore, Buddy Guy, Joe Perry, Neil Schon, Vinnie Moore...The list of Radial product users reads like a who's-who of the best rock/metal/blues/country/progressive and jazz players. The reason why the world's best players in all of these styles use Radial is simply that their products are the best! The sound of the 'Hot British' distortion pedal will be familiar to anyone that has heard a JCM800 cranked up, only more controllable and with more gain available. Use this pedal to add tone to a rig that may be a bit flat sounding, or even to add more sounds / channels to a great sounding set-up. The best sounding amp will still sound better with a tonebone in front!"
