Description

Edit description

Born from a collaboration between guitar maestro Greg Koch and Tone City, the Lil Heat is a compact overdrive pedal built to deliver rich, amp-like tone with extra gain on tap. Based on Tone City’s beloved Sweet Cream circuit, this fiery little box adds a custom “HEAT” boost stage—personally requested by Greg—to kick things into higher gear.

Whether you're cooking up buttery blues, twangy grit, or searing solos, the Lil Heat responds with warmth, articulation, and a wide dynamic range that makes it feel like a natural extension of your amp.

Based on the Tone City Sweet Cream circuit
Added HEAT boost for extra gain and growl

Critic Reviews

Greg Koch joins forces with Tone City for the Lil Heat mini overdrive pedal | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

The Tone City Lil Heat mini overdrive pedal brings Greg Koch’s signature touch to your setup, offering a compact and affordable option for those seeking “edge-of-breakup” tones. It builds on the Sweet Cream model with a bit more gain and low end, providing a versatile sound palette. However, its simplicity may not appeal to those looking for extensive customization, as it features a basic three-knob control system. At approximately $60, it's a budget-friendly choice for guitarists wanting nuanced amp-like tones but could leave tone-tweakers wanting more.
