ModTone Guitar Effects - Ultratone Guitars - Product Reviews without Complaints

ModTone Guitar Effects

The world of boutique guitar effects is becoming more and more saturated.  From multi-effects that range the spectrum of sounds to individualized effects, the market has a lot of pedals and a lot of makers from which to choose.  How do we make the right choice?  Can you pick out a quality effects pedal based solely on price?  How about based on appearance and ease of function?  What about basing your desires on the sounds you can create?  ModTone guitar effects solve this riddle by offering visually appealing, pedalboard friendly, highly functional, and very economical effects pedals. Today, we will take a look at the Pro Series of ModTone effects pedals.

The ModTone MT-AD Analog Delay Pedal:

The Vintage Analog Delay features exclusive analog circuitry coupled with a PT-2399 processing chip. This unique hybrid combination delivers a warm lush sounding delay reminiscent of the spell binding analog circuits of yesteryear without the unnecessary bulk or excessive price. Time, Repeat and Mix is all you need to tap into that expansive canyon of tone!

The ModTone MT-CH Aqua Chorus Pedal:

The ModTone Aqua Chorus features a rate and depth controls that emulate the shimmering tones of a classic vintage chorus or rotating leslie effect adding a liquid dimension to your tone without any degrading signal loss or unwanted noise.

The ModTone MT-DD Deep Dive Octave Plus Effects Pedal:

The Deep Dive Octave Plus is a true bypass sub harmonic effect that’s great in single note or lead guitar applications. Using High Filter, Bass Filter and Sub Level together can create a touch of “octave below” or when maxed out can cross over into some truly great low end frequencies! Flip the modulation switch on and add some square wave fuzz to your tone.

The ModTone MT-DS Speedbox Distortion Pedal:

If you like the sound of a 59 Les Paul roaring through a Marshall stack, you are going to love this pedal. In fact; get all your classic distortion tones here. This pedal is very versatile and is a virtual workhorse that is adaptable to all rock genres.

The ModTone MT-EM Extreme Metal Effects Pedal:

The Extreme Metal pedal is a true bypass boutique style pedal that delivers insane gain levels that go from subtle to over the top. Our specialized “scoop” knob covers plenty of metal territory while leaving all the articulate definition intact. Adjusting the “Low” knob gives any amp that ground shaking low end thump.

The ModTone MT-FL Space Flanger Effects Pedal:

Classic Flanging Like They Used To Make! Slow sweeps, fast warble...it’s all here! Transparent tone and all true bypass circuitry keeps your tone pure. From subtle to extreme the Space Flanger does it all. Crash and burn!

The ModTone MT-HG High Gainer Distortion Pedal:

The High Gainer is a feat of sonic engineering that packs an amazing punch of glorious overdriven tones that gain junkies will love. Go from a mellow laid back gain setting to the sound of tubes on the verge of catching fire! In addition the High Gainer features a set of concentric eq knobs that control both high and low frequencies independently. Add some sparkle on top or enjoy the almost sick level of low end you can achieve.

This blog reviews a small amount of the ModTone guitar effects pedals available.  I encourage all players in the market for a new brand of effects to explore ModTone effects.

Who is ModTone?

After nearly 20 years of designing musical products, our design team emerged from their underground tone lab and hit a home run with the ModTone line of effects pedals that include:

Distortion, Overdrive, Chorus, Phaser, Vintage Delay ,  Deep Dive Octaver, Tremolo, Chromatic Tuner ,Funk Filter Enveloper , Clean Boost , Vintage Wah, Xcellerator Volume+ , Power Plant and Powered Pedalboard. The whole family of  pedals deliver clean, quiet, fat tones in a reliable sealed, corrosion resistant metal chassis that are built to last and compact enough to fit on any pre-existing pedal board without any major modifications. No component went into these without the unrelenting scrutiny from our team of dedicated gear-heads. And this does not even touch on the Mini-Mod series...  ModTone has taken all of the features of the Pro Series and packed them into a tiny footprint at an even smaller price...  Check 'em out HERE!

Where some would simply stick it in a box and be done, this crack team of designers decided a pedal line this good deserved special packaging that reflected their commitment to tone and made sure each heavy duty transport box (with a cool magnetic lid) included a collectible instruction card with all warranty (5-YEAR) and website info. Once these people get an idea in their head they just won't let go and the ModTone line of effect pedals is the culmination of their commitment to bringing high quality tone to the masses.

"Boutique for everyone!" they say. And we agree.

Long Live Tone! Ultratone!
