Inside every SWELL pedal

The one and only B-TOD has become the go to pedal for artists for quite some time now…and for good reason.

As with all SWELL drives the TOD has smooth natural compression, rich complex overtones and is fundamentally transparent with NO loss of low-end frequencies.

Everything from a gentle purr to a grinding roar is footswitch selectable for both live and recording applications while remaining dead-quiet even with the output level control maxed out!

The B-TOD’s real tube-driven tones are full, round and woody in addition to responding to both playing style and volume-knob tweaks just like a classic tube amp.

Footswitch select between Gain 1 and 2 for the just the right amount of drive for rhythm and solo playing.

The NEW Fat & Cut switches in addition to the Tone control allow you to shape your tone both easily and quickly.

Cranked amp tone and feel at any volume level delivered by Amp & Record outs.

Groove on over to the B-TOD.
