The Tone Secret (TS) is the answer to the love/hate
relationship countless guitarists have with a
particular screaming green overdrive pedal that
originated in late 1970’s Japan. The Tone Secret
recreates the sonic DNA of the most iconic users
of the green screamer heard on countless studio
recordings and live performances without the need
for a cranked mid-scooped amplifier to run the
pedal into. The TS only utilizes 50% of the gain found
in a traditional green OD pedal; however, the
added pre-overdrive and post overdrive controls
allow you to tweak the OD characteristics to
match any amplifier and simulate amp break-up
without dime-ing the “DRIVE” knob on your pedal.
Additionally, we’ve added individual controls for
treble and mid-range frequencies, along with our
“GRIT” control to dial in the ratio of your amp’s
natural break-up in tandem with the overdrive
produced by the Tone Secret. If you’re looking
for a screaming OD pedal that nails the classic
and contemporary sounds heard on your favorite
records, look no further than the Tone Secret.
