pedal details
Tonecat’s secret tone inspectors are on the case.
Inside every Internal Affairs Overdrive lives a small department of highly trained Tonecat agents. Their mission? Protect your tone at all costs.
Based on the beloved Tonecat BlankSlate Overdrive, this variation keeps everything players love about the original: transparency, responsiveness, and musical breakup — but wrapped in a playful concept where the circuit becomes a tiny tone laboratory.
Internal Affairs doesn’t impose a voice. It listens to yours.
Pick softly and it stays polite and articulate.
Dig in and it pushes your amp with rich harmonic grit.
Roll your guitar volume back and it cleans up naturally, keeping every nuance of your playing intact.
What It Does Best
🎛 Adds grit without clouding your core tone
Your guitar and amp still sound like your guitar and amp.
🎸 Crunches but never crumbles
Smooth, musical breakup that stays articulate even when pushed.
✨ Smooths the edges but keeps the details
Every pick attack, chord texture, and harmonic remains present.
Where It Shines
Internal Affairs feels at home in almost any setup:
Always-on tone enhancer
Stacked with fuzz or distortion
Light edge-of-breakup drive
Pushing a clean amp into sweet saturation
The result is a pedal that lives in that elusive feel-good zone — where your tone becomes richer, more responsive, and more inspiring to play.
The Verdict
No tone crimes detected. Only better playing.
