Tone City Bad Horse v2025 Boost Overdrive

Small, pedalboard-friendly effects units are always nice to have on hand, especially for an overcrowded signal chain that takes up a lot of real estate. The fine folks at Tone City continue to recognize and build on this, as evidenced by today’s pedal, the Bad Horse v2025 Boost Overdrive. With a wide-spanning range of sounds and all the amp-pushing, grit-filled tone you’ve been searching for, this little wonder proves that you can make big sounds with tiny pedals…

Bad Horse is an amazing overdrive pedal that gives you a sweet creamy tone. When setting it as clean boost, it can assist the character of your guitar and amplifier, benefiting from the clean/drive mix circuit and the germinated diode. The sound will also be clear even when you increase the gain, blowing away the cognitions you may have had on mini pedals. If you’re after a mini super-sweet overdrive, Bad Horse is an amazing choice!

The Bad Horse v2025 has enough grit to take you into a medium-gain crunch on its own, but it is really in its element when used in conjunction with an already driven amp. The slight mid-range boost that it offers will help you to cut through in a mix, and the extra gain that it delivers will push your guitar’s sustain to a new level. In this Version 2025, it has been upgraded on the internal boost circuit, and adjusted the tone much better. It is absolutely a perfect match for the single-coil neck pickup, and to get all the tone you want.

Although the Bad Horse v2025 Boost Overdrive is a mini-sized pedal, the controls are usable at almost any setting from 0 to 10, making it very versatile and easy to use. The lineup of pedals from Tone City feature just about every effect genre you can think of, and are available from our friends at Osiamo Music Gear.
