Nobody saw this coming… could the King Of Tone be de-throned?

Welcome to the show! Regular viewers will know that Dan’s favourite overdrive of all time is the Analog Man King Of Tone. It has become the stuff of guitar legend, and now has a hilariously long wait list should you want to buy one.

Then right out of leftfield, to all our surprise, came a collaboration between Chase Bliss Audio’s Joel Korte and Mike Piera, aka Analog Man. Together, they’ve worked on packing a King Of Tone and a two-voice treble booster into the ‘standard’ Chase Bliss pedal format. The result is a phenomenally capable overdrive, not just in tonal terms but also with advanced switching and control options.

For good measure we’ve invited the rest of the family (Prince & Duke of Tone), and also the most important ancestor (Marshall Blues Breaker). Let’s do this.

Enjoy the show…
