Warm Audio WA-TOT Throne of Tone Dual-Sided Overdrive Pedal

Warm Audio WA-TOT Throne of Tone Dual-Sided Overdrive Pedal

The Warm Audio Throne of Tone dual-sided British-style overdrive pedal combines two classic mid-gain, amp-inspired circuits in one flexible analog design. Each independent side provides Blues and King voicings, high or low gain, and selectable Boost, Overdrive, or Distortion modes for tones ranging from transparent breakup to saturated leads.

Built for guitarists who need a versatile dual overdrive pedal for pedalboards, recording sessions, and live rigs, the Throne of Tone supports rhythm, boost, and solo sounds without menu navigation. Players can stack both sides, reverse their signal order, or insert additional effects between them through the integrated send and return connections.

Independent Volume, Gain, Tone, and Presence controls provide detailed shaping for each channel. The variable Presence circuit targets upper-midrange clarity, while an internal voltage doubler switches operation from 9V to 18V for greater headroom. Premium all-analog components, true-bypass switching, and individual hand testing support responsive, amp-like performance in professional guitar systems.

Key Features

• Dual-Sided Overdrive: Combines two independently adjustable drive channels for stacked, alternating, or complementary guitar tones.
• Two Classic Voicings: Selects Blues mode for vintage British amp-in-a-box character or King mode for boutique-inspired response.
• Three Drive Modes: Provides Boost, Overdrive, and Distortion settings on each side for flexible gain and compression levels.
• High and Low Gain: Switches between dynamic breakup and increased saturation without opening the pedal enclosure.
• Independent Tone Shaping: Equips each side with dedicated Volume, Gain, Tone, and Presence controls.
• Switchable Signal Order: Reverses the order of the two drive circuits to create different stacking responses.
• Integrated Effects Loop: Places external pedals or an effects chain between the two overdrive sections.
• Voltage Boost: Uses an internal voltage doubler to increase operating voltage from 9V to 18V for added clean headroom.
