Product Info

The California TrueTone is a surprisingly decent little distortion pedal for the price. It delivers a warm, usable overdrive tone that's great for blues, classic rock, or adding a little grit to your clean amp. It's an excellent entry point for players on a tight budget wanting a simple, straightforward distortion effect.
