MXR Duke of Tone Overdrive

Great pedal super small size for floor space economies but the big win is the tone of the pedal is great, also works well to stack tone too and great value for money

It's really really good

Only used it for one gig so far. Decent sound. Good build quality and very compact.

I really wanted to like this pedal as I really like all of my other blues breaker circuit drives. Compared to my cheap king of tone clone it sounds harsh and thin even after adjusting the trim pot. Really surprised me.

Based on the Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal from the early 1990s, the Analogman King of Tone (KoT) dual overdrive/distortion is one of those boutique guitar pedals that has become legendary, not only because it sounds good but also because of the lengthy waiting list to buy one which is currently in the region of 5 years! For those of us not blessed with such high levels of patience Analogman has now worked in partnership with MXR to produce this new pedal, the Duke of Tone, which is a faithful recreation of one half of the original King of Tone and they re onto a winner! The MXR Duke of Tone is a pedalboard friendly mini pedal with Volume, Gain and Tone controls plus a dip switch to swap between Overdrive, Boost and Distortion, Additionally there is a trim pot inside enabling you to tweak the top end response. Soundwise the pedal is in the classic low/medium gain bracket. If you're after something heavier then the Duke of Tone isn't for you, although I found it works well cranked up in into an amp set at the edge of break up or stacked with other dirt pedals to create a dirtier sound. Personally I found The Duke of Tone with all knobs at around 2 O'Clock suited a telecaster into a Vox Style amp perfectly creating my favourite a classic rock tone that I could play for hours. I didn't notice a massive difference between the three dip switch settings, although there is definitely some there, but then again I have only used it at bedroom rather than gig or rehearsal volume. One thing worth noting is that like most mini format pedals the Duke of Tone has no facility for battery and you'll need to use an external boss style centre negative power supply to power it. In conclusion I recommend the Duke of Tone and if you buy two and run them in tandem you will effectively have your hands on a King of Tone without that wait!!

Tout est dans le titre. En soi la disto est plutôt sympa mais on dirait que ça amplifie les aigus et retire toutes les basses. À ce prix là bif

Se stai leggendo qui, è perché hai quasi deciso di prenderlo dopo aver guardato 849 video su YouTube. Per quel che può valere, prendilo! Fa esattamente quello che ci si aspetta, il suono è QUELLO senza aspettare 11 anni o spendere follie per un usato.

Love the tone and quality.

Incredible OD and boost. It is light and touch-sensitive, but also provides plenty of sustain and warmth. Very versatile. Good on its own, or stacked for a boost. As with any OD its hard to explain without trying it yourself, but for a very reasonable price, you can have a smooth, pro-quality overdrive on your board with this.

Great pedal that gets better and better at volume. With a good valve amp, you can really punch through.
