MPN: SHTONECITYBIGRUMBLE
£60.00
This pre loved Tone City Big Rumble is in excellent condition and is an overdrive + clean boost pedal and is designed to use either the overdrive side, the clean boost side, or both together to shape your tone.
Here are its controls, switches, and general layout:
| Control / Switch | Function / Description |
|---|---|
| Drive | Controls the amount of overdrive / grit. |
| Tone | EQ shaping — treble vs bass / mids balance. |
| Clean | Lets you mix in clean signal with the overdrive to retain clarity. |
| Boost | Independent clean boost section — add gain without (mainly) altering tone. Up to ~20 dB gain. |
| Attack | Shapes the “punch” / how aggressively the overdrive responds. Affects how the signal is gated / how fast the dynamics respond. |
| Switch: Jazz / Rock | Two modes which change the character of the overdrive. “Jazz” tends to be smoother / cleaner, “Rock” gives more gain / bite. |
Other features:
True bypass switching.
Robust metal housing.
Power via 9 V DC, centre-negative power supply.
Current draw around 18 mA.
Size & weight: ~ 100 × 120 × 52 mm, ~350 g.
It gives you a wide range from subtle overdrive / crunch to more intense drive. You can dial in slight breakup, or push it toward more aggressive tones using the Drive + Rock switch.
The clean boost works well for lifting the signal (for solos, or boosting clean amp parts) without losing too much of your tone’s highs or lows.
The Attack control gives extra ability to shape how aggressive or smooth the overdrive “onset” is — meaning, how fast the pedal “hits” once you play. This helps in adapting to different playing styles or guitars.
The Jazz / Rock mode provides tonal variety: Jazz mode tends toward cleaner, more mellow overtones; Rock mode adds bite, more saturation.
Highly versatile: since you get both overdrive and clean boost, and you can mix clean in, it’s usable in many contexts (blues, rock, rhythm-lead shifts, etc.).
Good clean boost strength (~ 20 dB) so usable for boosting solos or pushing amps.
Multiple tone shaping controls give you a lot of flexibility. The Attack parameter in particular is a plus for dialling in dynamic response.
True bypass & metal chassis mean it’s built for serious use and retains signal clarity when switched off.
