Radial Engineering HOTBRITISH

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!

Features:

  • A high-gain double-stack 'plexy-in-a-box'!
  • Real 12AX7 tube for natural overdrive
  • Powerful EQ for extreme tonal range
  • Retains note clarity even at high gain
  • Compact & low profile to fit your pedalboard

  • Input impedance: 1meg Ohm at input jack

        * High: +12dB @ 620Hz
        * Medium: +6dB @ 390Hz
        * Bypass: No boost
  • Drive control: Used in conjunction with the drive gain switch, drive is used to adjust the overall amount of gain to the overdrive circuit.
  • VOICING 3-way switch: Allows the user to jump to chunky scooped rhythms in the NOTCH position or huge solos in the FAT position.
        * FAT: Mid-boost - passive filter
        * bypass: Flat
        * NOTCH: Mid-cut - passive filter
  • Contour control: Used in conjunction with the VOICING selector switch, 'contour' dials-in the mid-center frequency with cut or boost with the switch in the NOTCH or FAT position.
  • TOP END 3-way switch: Switch sets the overall tonal character of the Classic to best match the amp and settings. Brighter amps are normally compensated with darker settings.
