New ToneCandy True Blue Harmonica Magic Pedal
I want to make it clear that this is NOT a guitar pedal and NOT a distortion pedal. True Blue was designed to enhance high impedence harmonica microphones. After hearing many blues bands with harp players, I found that getting good harmonica tone without the right amplifier is difficult. The 1959 Fender tweed 4X10 Bassman was always the standard for producing "that tone". Many harmonica players want to get good tone with newer and smaller amplifiers but many of these amps lack the depth.
The ToneCandy True Blue Harmonica Magic Pedal can give you the depth needed to achieve great tone. It produces a deep rich tone at any volume.The Bass and Mid controls can be dialed in to fit your style of playing. These controls are set at just the right frequencies to help control your desired tone. When the bass and mid controls are set lower, it has a cleaner sound. When the bass and mid controls are turned up the pedal can be used as a boost with a little edge. The volume control is a master that does not change the tone. The pedal also helps control feedback. This is not an anti feedback pedal but it really helps playing at higher volume.
Bass Control - Produces deep rich bass and can also be used as a boost when turned up.
Mid Control - Adds just the right amount of midrange to make the harp sing. It acts as a boost when turned up.
Volume Control - Master volume control
Power: 9-volt DC battery or input jack 2.1mm center pole ground quality standard 9 or 9.6 volt regulated power supply
Each pedal is made in the USA and hand soldered with pre-tested top quality components for long lasting durability. No machines are used in the assembly process and every step of construction is inspected thoroughly.

True Blue Harmonica Magic Pedal With a Clean Amplifier
This sound sample has three 15 second parts. The pedal is set to a higher gain with a clean amp with the master volume only on about 1/3 up. I used a Deluxe reverb that is only on volume 2 with bass and treble at 4. Also, there is a 10 inch speaker installed for better harp tone. I wanted to show how the pedal can get some edge with the amp at lower volume. You can also use it through a clean PA system and get great tone.
If the Bass and Mid controls are set lower, you can get a cleaner tone.
The True Blue Harmonica Magic Pedal is hand soldered and made in the USA using top quality parts like all ToneCandy pedals.
The pedal controls are set with volume at 10AM. Bass and Mid at 2PM.
1 - First Part is with the pedal off with an Astatic JT30 mic.
2 - Second Part is with the pedal on with an Astatic JT30 mic.
3 - Third Part is with a hotter chopped Astatic 200 mic with a Shure white CM element.
True Blue Tone Test
The pedal circuit is a 5 stage class A analog preamp using discrete components. There are no digital components in this circuit. We use top quality FET transistors, capacitors and resistors to shape the tone for each preamp stage. It is all hand wired and hand soldered made in the USA.
This short sound sample shows the deep rich bass the pedal produces. The pedal is set for a cleaner tone with Bass and Mid at 10 AM and the volume half up. I used a Deluxe reverb that is only on volume 2 with bass and treble at 4. Also, there is a 10 inch speaker installed for better harp tone. I used a newer Astatic JT30 mic.
