Tampco's Rodolphe Puccio has released Custom Editions of the Tone Oven overdrive, a limited edition of the pedal that moves the Bass Cut and Comp controls from internal dip-switches to external toggle switches12. Delicious Audio dated its report September 23, 2026; Guitar Pedal X published its account September 28, 202612.
On the stock Tone Oven, Bass Cut and Comp were internal dip-switches; on the Custom Editions they are external toggles1. The Bass Cut applies to both Start and Grill modes, while Comp applies only to the Grill mode, where it raises output1. The Grill Level is still set by an internal trimmer1. Start is the default gain setting and channel; Grill adds a second gain stage but is not an independent gain setting or channel1. Delicious Audio describes Grill as a second, more aggressive saturation circuit engaged via a dedicated footswitch, and describes the Comp control as a headroom switch that tailors the compression profile of the Grill circuit2.
The controls are Time (drive), Temp (tone), Fan (volume), Bass (Cut Up / Stock Down) and Comp (More Output Up, Grill channel only)1. Delicious Audio gives the same three knobs as Fan (output level), Temp (shaping high frequencies) and Time (dialing in the warmth and saturation)2. Guitar Pedal X writes that the Tone Oven is supposedly inspired by the Greer Lightspeed (Start) and Southland Harmonic Overdrive (Grill)1.
The Custom Editions come in Green, Black and Red1. Delicious Audio calls the release a limited edition2.
Guitar Pedal X describes the advantage of the Custom Editions as being able to more easily ramp up the gain and output of the pedal, which it says delivers an expansive range of gain and tones via relatively simple controls while retaining dynamics in the response to guitar controls, pick attack and playing style1. The Tone Oven is an overdrive; more are covered in our overdrive pedals section.
