PRE-OWNED Pro Tone Tosin Abasi Overdrive

The Tosin Abasi Overdrive: Modern Tone Sculpting with Elite Pre-filter Shaping

Description & Features (Signature Overdrive Pedal)

The Pro Tone Tosin Abasi Overdrive is a modern, mid-gain pedal built for players who demand clarity, tight low end, and genre-spanning flexibility. With moderate play wear and visible finish scuffing and chipping on the housing, this unit remains in fully functional condition with no internal mods or repairs.

This drive is an evolved take on the Pro Tone Dead Horse platform, reimagined in collaboration with genre-defying guitarist Tosin Abasi. It fuses the best elements of several Dead Horse versions, balancing smooth saturation with articulate punch. The result is a sonically versatile pedal that performs as well in extended-range modern prog as it does in tight rock or metal rigs.

At the heart of its adaptability is a 6-way Filter switch, which offers pre-set frequency curves crafted to shape your tone before it even touches the clipping stage. These filter points help refine low-end response and give players an intuitive way to cut or boost specific tonal regions to suit different tunings, amp voicings, or styles.

Tone and Feel (Overdrive Pedal Dynamics)

Tonally, the Tosin Abasi Overdrive lands between the Dead Horse’s smooth midrange drive and the aggressive edge of the Dead Horse Deluxe. It retains the touch sensitivity and note definition required for complex chord voicings and fast runs, while still dishing out enough gain to push a clean amp or tighten up a distorted one.

This is not just another "mid-hump" overdrive clone. It's a precision tool with a tailored EQ section that offers surgical control, whether you're stacking it with other pedals, boosting an amp, or using it as your primary drive tone.

Creative Use Case (For Advanced Guitarists)

This is a precision-engineered overdrive for players who live on the edge of complexity. With its smart EQ tailoring and balanced gain structure, it’s ideal for 7- or 8-string extended-range players, progressive rock tones, or anyone chasing articulate gain with tight low-end control.
