Warm Audio is known for faithfully recreating legendary recording gear and guitar effects. Today they have announced the release of two new guitar pedals: the Tube Squealer and the Throne of Tone. These new additions pay tribute to some of the most sought-after vintage overdrive sounds in guitar history, offering modern flexibility and premium components for today’s players.
Tube Squealer: Three Iconic Mid-Gain Circuits in One Pedal
The Warm Audio Tube Squealer is an all-in-one mid-gain solution that faithfully recreates three legendary Japanese overdrive circuits—the 808, TS9, and TS10.
This single pedal allows guitarists to select between the earliest iteration of the classic overdrive (808), the most widely recognized version (TS9), and the revered, underrated circuit (TS10).
Key features for modern players include:
- A Mix knob for blending clean and driven signals, enabling precise tone shaping.
- A pickup-voicing selector to optimize response for either single-coil or humbucker pickups.
- An external voltage booster for instantly increasing headroom and dynamics.
Asymmetrical Clipping
Inside, the Tube Squealer features JRC4558 op-amps, discrete transistors, and diodes, ensuring the authentic character and response of the originals, complete with asymmetrical clipping.
“For Tube Squealer, we couldn’t limit ourselves to just one of the classic pedal tones so we built the most legendary three into one pedal,” said Bryce Young, founder & president of Warm Audio.
Pricing
The Tube Squealer is available for MSRP $149/£139/€159
Throne of Tone: Dual-Sided British Blues Overdrive and Distortion
The Warm Audio Throne of Tone is a versatile, dual-sided overdrive pedal inspired by two of the greatest British amp-inspired blues circuits of all time.
It’s designed to deliver the signature mid-gain “breaking” tone found in celebrated vintage amps and their boutique pedal recreations.
The Throne of Tone is built for maximum tonal flexibility, featuring:
- Two independent circuits (sides) in one enclosure.
- Two classic voicings, with low/high gain settings per side.
- Three drive modes per side: Boost, Overdrive, and Distortion, allowing players to move from subtle breakup to saturated lead tones.
- Independent Presence control (
) on each side, alongside the standard tone knob, for detailed tone sculpting.
- A rear-mounted external voltage doubler (9V–18V) to add extra headroom on demand.
true bypass switching, with send/return jacks for integrating other pedals between the circuits.
Dual Overdrive
This design honors the original three-knob vintage pedal that inspired a wave of boutique recreations, while adding functionality and a second side for unprecedented tonal combinations.
It utilizes diodes and premium JRC4580 and TL072 op-amps to deliver a fully analog circuit with symmetrical clipping that captures the feel of classic tube amps.
Pricing
The Throne of Tone is available at all authorized Warm Audio retailers worldwide for MSRP $229/£219/€249
Warm Audio’s Commitment to Vintage Tone and Quality
Both the Tube Squealer and Throne of Tone continue Warm Audio’s legacy of combining vintage-accurate tone with premium components and feature-rich functionality. As with all Warm Audio gear, both new pedals are meticulously hand-tested and inspected by technicians in Austin, TX, ensuring high-quality, performance-ready additions to any pedalboard.
