The Tone City Double Durple is a dual overdrive pedal built as a collaboration between Tone City Pedals and Peter Honore, the AndertonsTV presenter better known as Danish Pete. Instead of one circuit and one stomp switch, it puts two discreet overdrive circuits in a double-stompbox format, each with its own footswitch, so you can run either side on its own or stack them together1. Tone City describes it as a punchy pedal that essentially replicates Pete's favorite setup, covering everything from a crisp boost to stacked crunchy saturation and crispy blues-meets-rock tones1.
Two overdrives in one box
Each side of the pedal has its own character and its own ancestry. Tone City says the "Durple" side is based on the original Durple pedal, while the "Double" side is a modded version of the Blues Man. Each side carries individual gain, volume and tone controls, plus a couple of extra tweakable features1.
| Side | Based on | Boost alone |
|---|---|---|
| Durple | The original Durple pedal | 11dB (Engine A on only)1 |
| Double | A modded Tone City Blues Man | 10dB (Engine B on only)1 |
Because the two circuits are separate, the pedal works in more than one way on a board: as a single overdrive when only one engine is engaged, as a boost into a drive when they are stacked, or as two independent drives for two different gain levels. Tone City describes the Blues Man circuit behind the Double side as having a transparent timbre that lets it keep working in most effect links3.
Controls, power and specifications
Each engine has gain, volume and tone, with additional tweakable features per side1. The pedal runs on a regulated 9V DC supply and draws 25mA with both engines turned on, with a normal input level of -10dB1.
Tone City specifies a DC 9V regulated power supply. At 25mA with both engines running, it is worth planning your supply's current budget accordingly1.
The housing stands 5.2 cm high and weighs 0.35 kg net, so it takes about the footprint of two compact pedals rather than one1.

Questions
Is the Tone City Double Durple true bypass?
Yes. Tone City's product page lists the Double Durple as true bypass, so the pedal takes itself fully out of the signal path when both sides are switched off. The Blues Man circuit that the Double side is based on is also listed as true bypass on its own product page.
Can you use both sides of the Double Durple at once?
Yes. Tone City describes the Double Durple as two discreet overdrive circuits that can be used independently or together, each with its own stomp switch. Stacking them is part of the design: the maker describes the pedal as replicating Peter Honore's favourite setup, from a crisp boost to stacked crunchy saturation.
Who designed the Tone City Double Durple?
The Double Durple is a collaboration between Tone City Pedals and Peter Honore, the AndertonsTV presenter known as Danish Pete. Tone City describes it as a punchy pedal that essentially replicates his favourite setup, and the Durple side is based on the original Durple pedal.
How much boost does each side of the Double Durple give?
According to Tone City's product page, Engine A alone gives 11dB of boost and Engine B alone gives 10dB. With both engines turned on together, the pedal draws 25mA.
