Here's some great news: the tube-tinted character of a fabled blue dirt box is now available at a barn burner of a price! Like the pedal it's based on, the fiery TC Electronic Cinders overdrive seeks to capture the sound, handling, and intensity of a cranked tube amp, even at bedroom levels. Smoldering when cranked yet ice cool when you roll your volume back, the TC Cinders gives you that sought-after tube amp playing response. Run it into a clean amp and sample the full spectrum of Cinders' capable control scheme, or redline a dirty channel to push rhythm and lead tones over the edge. Whatever your musical tastes, the TC Cinders is designed for transparency. Its Tone and Drive controls are created to be extensions of your base sound, even at extreme settings. Whether you're picking, plunking, thumbing, or chugging, you'll feel your guitar speak with the same dynamic intensity as being plugged straight into an amp. And when it comes to build quality, the TC Electronic Cinders is built like a tank. Its metal housing and true bypass switching help maximize your tone on both sides of that rootsy "tube" saturation. Battery evangelist? The Cinders can be powered from a standard 9-volt internal battery as well as your favorite standard 9-volt DC pedal power supply. Take it from Sweetwater players: if you're searching for certified tube tone to go, the TC Cinders has all the makings of a modern classic.
