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. It utilizes 50% of the gain found in a traditional green OD pedal, with added pre-overdrive and post overdrive controls to tweak the OD characteristics to match any amplifier and simulate amp break-up without dime-ing the "DRIVE" knob on your pedal. Additionally, it has individual controls for treble and mid-range frequencies, along with a "GRIT" control to dial in the ratio of your amp’s natural break-up in tandem with the overdrive produced by the Tone Secret.

The Tone Secret is designed to provide classic and contemporary sounds heard on favorite records, making it a versatile and powerful tool for guitarists.
