Toneczar Effects Dove

The Dove is a distortion pedal with equalizer from Toneczar Effects, sitting in the distortion family alongside overdrive and fuzz designs. It is an analog circuit built around three gain modes, a four-band active EQ and a deep switch, and it can take an expression pedal for control of gain¹.

What it does

RockBoard's PedalPedia describes the Dove as able to create an array of classic low to medium gain distortion tones without adjusting the amplifier's tone controls away from their optimum clean tone settings¹. In practice that means the pedal carries the voicing work itself: the three gain modes set the amount and character of drive, while the four-band active EQ shapes the tone on the pedal rather than on the amp¹.

The feature set, as RockBoard's PedalPedia lists it¹:

• Three gain modes
• Four-band active EQ
• Deep switch
• Exceptional guitar volume knob clean-up
• Optional expression pedal control of gain

The volume-knob clean-up point matters for players who set a pedal for one sound and use the guitar's volume control to move between clean and driven tones. The expression input adds another way to sweep gain by foot, using an expression pedal.

Power

The Dove runs on 18V DC, center negative, and draws 45mA¹. That voltage requirement is worth noting when planning a power supply, since a supply with an 18V output is needed.
