Lil Heat

OVERDRIVE

Zany blues guitarist Greg Koch, otherwise known as the “Gristleman”, is a highly talented, expressive player. The towering American has a unique playing style, combining quick chicken-picked hybrid licks with walking basslines. He does all this with a touch of heat in his tone – and that’s where Tone City come in. The Lil Heat is based on the Sweet Cream, but adds more of everything! The bonus here is adding a touch of higher gain and a fatter low-end. This fiery stompbox produces outstanding edge-of-breakup tones like a true vintage amp. The end result lends itself to both precise technical intricacies in Greg’s playing and big rock chords. Stick the Lil Heat in front of any clean amp and you’re ready to go. It even works well as a Klon-like transparent drive if you’ve got more pedals to stack in your arsenal.
