Radial Tonebone Plexitube Distortion

Price List Rp.4.200.000
Radial Tonebone Plexitube Distortion
The Radial Plexitube is a two channel tube distortion pedal that combines the natural warmth and harmonic generation of a 12AX7 tube with the control and saturation of Radial's unique multi-stage solid-state drive circuit. This combination provides incredible gain with tons of overtones and, when combined with our unique passive-interactive EQ, produces four generations of Marshall Plexi tones worthy of a Shakespearian Ode. Build like a little Sherman tank, yet compact enough to fit on your pedalboard, the Tonebone Plexitube pedal is among the world's most compact tube distortions. The Plexitube uses a proprietary hybrid circuit that combines the control of a dual-stage solid-state front end with the natural harmonic generation and warmth that only a real live 12AX7 tube can generate. The Plexitube may just be the ultimate in guitar distortion!
Radial Tonebone Plexitube Tube Distortion At-a-Glance:
  • Ultra-quiet Operation
  • Built for the Stage
  • Versatile

Ultra-quiet Operation
Just as you'd expect form Radial, the Plexitube is built for very low self-noise. The tube is mounted on its side to keep the pedal profile down for easy pedal action and is powered by an external 15VDC supply. Power is internally regulated and filtered to eliminate noise. To further reduce self-noise a unique ground plane circuit topology is employed that makes Tonebone tube distortion pedals the quietest of all pedals in their class.

Built for the Stage
The Tonebone Plexitube is built tough. The 14-gauge steel construction reduces stress on the PC board and a baked enamel finish will keep your Tonebone Plexitube looking great for years! Designed to enhance on-stage functionality, the Plexitube features two distinct distortion channels for on-the-fly transition between rhythm and lead settings. Channel-1 has been optimized for rhythm with chunk rhythm tones and scooped out mids for a thunderous wall-of-sound and complete world domination. Channel-2 is optimized to produce razor-sharp cut for solos and sustaining mids that are so smooth, they can make a grown man cry. This is augmented with an effects loop that can automatically turn your delay on for leads. No tap dancing!

Versatile
The Plexitube is your 'Plexi-in-a-box'! Just plug the Plexitube output into your amp to open up a world of tube driven British rock tones. The separate trim, drive, contour and EQ controls give you instant command of both rhythm and lead distortion settings as well as a true bypass mode that ensures that nothing gets in the way of your pure guitar-to-amp tone. When the Plexitube is off, true-bypass connectivity ensures the natural tone of your guitar goes directly to your amp without obstruction or a tone robbing load. But that's just the beginning because you've also got a foot-switchable effects loop at your disposal thats there when you need it and out of your clean signal path when you don't. You will be amazed at the breadth and scope of the sounds just waiting to be discoverd in this truly versatile pedal!

Radial Tonebone Plexitube Tube Distortion Features:
  • 12AX7 equipped tube distortion
  • Clean, rhythm and lead in one pedal
  • Insert loop on lead channel for effects
  • True bypass clean for natural tone
  • Huge chunky rhythm settings with scooped mids

Radial Tonebone Classic Trimode
The Tonebone Classic Trimode is Radial's most progressive pedal ever! Trimode gives you instant access to superb clean, rhythm and lead tones without tap dancing. And tone you will receive. Based on the heritage of America's finest tube amplifiers, the Trimode delivers five generations of tone from the slight overdrive of early rock & roll to blistering power tones of today's high gain amps. Following the award-winning Tonebone Classic, the Trimode combines the warmth and even harmonics of a 12AX7 tube with Radial's unique dual-stage drive for the natural dynamics and response of a vintage tube amp. The Trimode may be the closest thing you can get to a real tube amp in a pedal!
Radial TriMode Tube Distortion At-a-Glance:
  • Three Modes of Operation
  • Amazingly Flexible
  • Easy to use
Three Modes of Operation
As the name implies, Trimode has three settings: 'True Bypass Clean Mode' for the natural tone of your guitar - direct to your amp; 'Rhythm Mode' with input drive, output gain and our unique Interstage drive to precision-tune the mayhem you are about to unleash; and 'Solo Mode' with its own input drive, output gain, and mid boost for days of sustain. Trimode goes even further with a built-in effects loop on the solo channel that lets you instantly engage a delay or pedal chain with a single foot action. Trimode: 3 modes, huge tone and amazing dynamics - finally, a pedal that sounds and feels like a real tube amp!

Amazingly Flexible
Imagine having a second 2-channel amp in front of your guitar amp. How cool would it be to have individual input drive and output level control on each channel so that you could dial in the perfect amount of grit? Now imagine being able to adjust the mid boost separately on your solo channel to increase sustain for those violin type solo tones. How about automatically introducing a delay as soon as you go from crunchy rhythm tones to Star Spangled solos? This is Trimode.

Easy to use
The Radial Trimode offers an amazing combination of simplicity and functionality with innovative, well thought-out features accessible through intuitive controls and I/O options. The two footswitches provide for easy toggling between modes and large LED indicators allow instant at-a-glance monitoring of the Trimode's status. Separate drive, level and mid-boost control for each distortion channel gives you the power to easily set up exactly the distortion sounds you want, then toggle between them with no tap-dancing! The overall Top End and Drive Gain switches together with variable High and Low EQ controls and the 'anti-presence' Filter control will guide you to the perfect tone for your amp/guitar combination. Effects can be connected via the Insert 1/4" send-receive TRS jack and are switched in when you press the 'Toggle' switch to select Ch-2.

Radial TriMode Tube Distortion Features:
  • True bypass clean mode
  • Dynamic rhythm distortion mode
  • Sustaining lead distortion mode
  • 12AX7 tube for natural overdrive tone

Radial Tonebone Classic


Price List Rp.3.250.000
Radial Tonebone Classic Distortion
American guitar tradition. The natural distortion of the original Bassman, the sweet-spot of a Vintage Tweed, to those hot-rod amp tones that that smoke the blues and whistle Dixie all night long. They're are all in the Classic.
Radial Tonebone Classic at a Glance:
  • Vintage overdrive distortion pedal with variable overdrive.
  • Drive and level controls
  • Post distortion EQ for maximum flexibilty.
  • Mid-Boost switch to fatten up single coil pickups.
The Tonebone Classic is an extremely flexible distortion pedal. With three drive settings and a variable drive control, you can dial in everything from dirt to drastic and everywhere in between. The Tonebone Classic's design is based on vintage overdrive sounds that started in the 1960's and 1970's and today remain some of the most sought after tones. The Classic is exceptionally dynamic and transparent and as such, is extremely adept at retaining your playing style and signature. Even at high distortion settings, you can turn your guitar level down and the Classic cleans up naturally and without the noise, hum or buzz that is common with most other pedals. At higher settings, every note remains distinct and the natural tone of the instrument shines through.

Drive and Level Controls
The Tonebone Classic design follows the way a guitar amplifier works whereby the input DRIVE is akin to the input channel volume, while the LEVEL control acts more like a master volume control.

As such, the DRIVE control provides overall input gain to the distortion circuit. This works in conjunction with the 3-position DRIVE switch that controls low, mid or high distortion range settings. At low settings, the Classic creates lighter rock & roll tones like the sounds you would hear from Keith Richards or the cleaner side of Hendrix. In the mid-distortion range, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton type tones come alive. At the higher distortion settings, Eddie Van Halen to Eric Johnson type solo tones can be created while big chunky rhythm tones from Boston to ZZ Top to Deep Purple are also easily attained.

Equalization and Tonal Structure
The Tonebone Classic employs active post-distortion equalization for maximum flexibility. Tone shaping is performed with three controls and two switches thus allowing the guitarist to dial in the type of tonal structure that may be desired.

HIGH and LOW equalization are extremely active providing up to 15dB of gain control. These work in conjunction with the TOP-END and MID-BOOST controls. Overall shaping begins with the TOP-END control with choice of Dark, Normal or Bright settings which are used to compensate for the tonal characteristics of the amplifier. The FILTER control overlaps the high-end with a subtle roll-off to further compensate for overly bright amplifiers.

The MID-BOOST switch is used to fatten-up single coil pick-ups or to add 'meat' to the tone for additional cut during soloing. The Classic's mid-range frequencies have been carefully selected to work with popular amplifiers like Twins and Marshalls. These settings are extremely effective at compensating for 'clean' oriented channels on classic tube amplifiers.

Radial Tonebone Classic Features:
  • LEVEL control: Used to balance the output level between the input drive without altering any of the tonal characteristics. Works somewhat like a master volume on an amplifier.
  • HIGH & LOW controls: Post distortion active tone controls that boost or cut from 12 o'clock position Low: +/- 14.5 db @ 100Hz, High: +/- 10 db @ 4.3kHz.
  • FILTER control: Balances the ratio of high frequencies between amplifier and Classic distortion to compensate for overly bright amplifiers.
  • DRIVE control: Used in conjunction with the drive gain switch, drive is used to adjust the overall amount of gain to the overdrive circuit.
  • TOP END switch: Switch sets the overall tonal character of the Classic to best match the amp and settings. Brighter amps are normally compensated with darker settings. Bright: Boosts +6dB @ 10kHz; Flat: No boost; Dark: Cuts -6dB @ 1.8kHz. 
  • MID BOOST switch: Used to fatten up the sound for more cut and sustain during solos. Also, will fatten up the sound of single coil pick-ups.
  • High: Boosts +12dB @ 620Hz; Medium: Boosts +6dB @ 390Hz; Bypass: No boost.
  • DRIVE switch: Used in conjunction with the drive gain control. Drive switch selects the gain range of the overdrive circuit.
  • Tube: Standard 12AX7 vacuum tube inside is used in distortion stage to accentuate upper harmonics and warmth.
  • Distortion: Proprietary tube hybrid distortion circuit. Wide range of distortion settings may be derived.
  • Footswitch: True by-pass with red in/out status LED.
  • Power Supply: 15VDC adapter (110V standard - export models available) - Included.
  • Construction: 14 gauge steel construction with baked enamel coat.

Radial Tonebone Hot British

Price List Rp.3.250.000
Radial Tonebone Hot British
The Tonebone Hot British sweeps you from Liverpool to London, from the sound of a 4x12 double stack to the power-chord mayhem of metal thrashing over barbed wire. Tube distortion for those that want extreme.
Radial Tonebone Hot British at a Glance:
  • Distortion pedal based on high-gain amplifier designs.
  • Drive and level controls.
High and low EQ, Mid-Boost, 3-position voicing switch and contour control.
From fat hot-wired Marshall tones to the huge scooped out mid sounds, the Hot British is blistering brute force extraordinaire! Based on high-gain amplifier designs, the Hot British is tailored to extract ultra-rich harmonics and full-on saturated tube settings without the mud or noise that is typical with other pedals. The powerful EQ settings truly allow the player to dial in to the type of tones that create everything from chunky rhythms to sizzling lead solos. Best of all, even when pushing the Tonebone Hot British beyond the limits, the natural dynamics and feel of the player still shines through.

Drive and Level Controls
The Hot British design follows the way a guitar amplifier works whereby the input DRIVE is akin to the input channel volume, while the LEVEL control acts more like a master volume control.

The DRIVE control provides overall input gain to the distortion circuit. When used in conjunction with the EQ controls, the Hot British easily allows one to emulate the rhythm tones reminiscent of ZZ-Top, Metallica, Megadeath and Soundgarden. For soloing, the wailing tones popularized by players like Eddie Van Halen, Richie Blackmore, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Randy Rhodes are also easily attained.

Equalization and Tonal Structure
The Tonebone Hot British employs active post-distortion equalization for maximum flexibility. Tone shaping is performed with three controls and three switches thus allowing the guitarist to dial in the type of tonal structure that may be desired.

HIGH and LOW equalization are extremely active providing up to 15dB of gain control. These work in conjunction with the TOP-END, MID-BOOST and VOICING controls. Overall shaping begins with the TOP-END control with choice of Dark, Normal or Bright settings, which are used to compensate for the tonal characteristics of the amplifier.

The MID-BOOST switch is used to fatten-up single coil pick-ups or to add 'meat' to the tone for additional cut during soloing. The Hot British mid-range frequencies have been carefully selected to work with popular amplifiers like Twins and Marshalls. These settings are extremely effective at compensating for 'clean' oriented channels on classic tube amplifiers.

The three-position VOICING switch works with the CONTOUR control for radical souped-up tones. The FAT position develops huge blistering solo tones and the cut-through power to get past the noise when you have to. The V or 'scoop' position is used to cut the mids while allowing the lower and upper harmonics to remain, creating huge chunky rhythms when building a wall of sound with a solid foundation. Big.

Radial Tonebone Hot British Features:
  • LEVEL control: Used to balance the output level between the input drive without altering any of the tonal characteristics. Works somewhat like a master volume on an amplifier.
  • HIGH & LOW controls: Post distortion active tone controls that boost or cut from 12 o'clock position. Low: +/- 14.5 db @ 100Hz; High: +/- 10 db @ 4.3kHz.
  • CONTOUR control: Used in conjunction with the VOICING selector switch, the passive contour control dials in the mid-center frequency for either cut in the V' position or boost in the FAT position.
  • DRIVE control: Used in conjunction with the drive gain switch, drive is used to adjust the overall amount of gain to the overdrive circuit.
  • TOP END switch: Switch sets the overall tonal character of the Hot British to best match the amp and it's settings. Brighter amps are normally compensated with darker settings. Bright: Boosts +6dB @ 10kHz; Flat: No boost; Dark: Cuts -6dB @ 1.8kHz.
  • VOICING switch: Three position switch allows the user to jump to chunky V style scooped rhythms or huge solos in the FAT position. Fat: Mid boost - passive filter; Bypass: Flat Scooped: Mid cut - passive filer.
