A deliciously tuned Klon style transparent overdrive pedal handcrafted for players with a taste for the finer things in tone. The Klonka-Bar has Blankslate Overdrive under the hood and is part of Tonecat’s Bon-Appetone Collection—a playful yet meticulously designed boutique series inspired by Klon pedal circuit warmth, chocolatey character, and vintage flavor.
Underneath its whimsical shell lies a Blankslate circuit - refined Klon-inspired circuit, carefully tuned for extra cream, smooth midrange bloom, and a more delicate, touch-responsive feel. Think golden-hour harmonics and that just-right push that melts into your amp rather than punching it.

BassPresso V2 is here - The brew just got stronger.
We went back to the TONECAT café and gave BassPresso a proper re-brew. Version 2 brings higher headroom, greater fidelity and a more refined response, giving you more punch, more control and even more ways to shape your low end.
The original BassPresso was built to bring warmth tone inspired by the AMPEG bass preamp. V2 keeps that same recipe at its heart for any bass rig — just brewed a little stronger. And yes, it got a new look too. Brushed aluminium, fresh from the workshop.
Same BassPresso. New recipe. Stronger brew.
