The Details

The Radial Tonebone Trimode Classic Distortion is a serious valve-driven distortion pedal crafted for guitarists who demand dynamic response, musical gain and effortless stage control. Inspired by the award-winning Tonebone Classic, the Trimode combines true bypass operation with two fully adjustable gain channels, allowing seamless movement between articulate rhythm textures and saturated lead tones.

Its compact 12AX7 tube-hybrid design captures the warmth and touch sensitivity of a real tube amplifier, cleaning up naturally from your guitar’s volume control while retaining superb note definition even at high gain settings. Three selectable drive ranges cover everything from vintage rock growl to modern high-gain saturation, while the Interstage Drive control fine-tunes harmonic texture on the rhythm channel.

A particularly clever feature is the integrated effects loop on Lead Channel 2, automatically activating delay or modulation effects for solos without frantic pedalboard choreography. Combined with the responsive passive EQ, top-end shaping and individual mid-boost switches, the Trimode becomes a formidable all-in-one gain solution for live rigs and studio sessions alike.
