The pedal is known for its ability to transform the sound of the amplifier, providing the unmistakable cranked AC-30 sound. It is suitable for fans of old-school jangly rock 'n' roll or British rock in general. The gain control offers a wide spectrum of grit, from mild overdrive to classic rock sound, while the volume control allows seamless transition or contrasting dynamics. The tone control provides a range from smooth and rounded tones to bright jangles with top-end definition and cut.

The Black Tea Distortion pedal is housed in a mini pedal format, saving space on the pedalboard without compromising on quality. It features true bypass switching to maintain signal purity and uses high-quality components for the controls.
