All three have landed at EGM Distribution.
Three new Tone City pedals from the Mini Series have landed in Australia, including the Buzz Bee, London Bender and Nashville, which covers a buffer/boost, fuzz and overdrive, all in the same compact enclosure at 9.4 x 4.5 x 4.8cm.

The Nashville is a TS-style overdrive with a twist. Where most Tube Screamer-inspired circuits lean hard into the midrange, the Nashville pulls back on that emphasis for a more open, articulate voice with better top-end clarity. A dedicated Bass Cut control handles low-frequency response, useful for tightening up the bottom end with high-output pickups or an already driven amp. Drive, Volume and Tone controls cover the rest, with a gain range that runs from edge-of-breakup to smooth sustaining leads.
The London Bender takes its cues from British fuzz tones of the 1970s. Volume, Tone and Attack controls keep the pedal fairly straightforward, and its midrange character is the main event – thick and present enough to cut through a mix without turning to mush.
The Buzz Bee is a buffer and boost in one. With the Gain control near minimum and the pedal left engaged, it acts as a buffer to restore high-end clarity across a long signal chain. If you turn it up past the 1 o’clock position, it becomes a more aggressive tone-shaper, with up to 25dB of boost on tap for pushing amps or gain pedals harder.
All three run on 9V, feature true bypass, and are available now through EGM Distribution.
