Tone Lord Tone Era Solo Boost and Shaper
The Audiostorm Tone Lord Solo Boost and Shaper, retailing for £199, is the 8th incarnation of a studio-grade clean booster and surgical tone-enhancer. Designed with ultra-low noise, its core function is to deliver an impressive 25dB of pure clean boost, which can be increased up to 35dB using the HNO3 switch for added presence. Its versatility comes from the Tone Era rotary selector, allowing users to choose from four custom EQ curves that emulate classic tonal eras: a warm '60s mid boost, a bright '70s edge, a sharp '80s peak, or a '90s top-end punch, plus a neutral mode. Additional tone-shaping options include OXY2 mode for wideband air and clarity, and NOVA mode, which introduces soft saturation clipping and a complementary midrange boost. This pedal is highly regarded for its precision and ability to function as a tone fixer.
