Hotone Skyline series
When we first caught sight of these lil’ stompers at NAMM, we couldn’t quite believe our eyes – each pedal is hardly bigger than a pair of nine-volt batteries! They’re completely practical in use, though, and they sound great.
10 of these bijou stompboxes have just landed in TG’s postroom of gear, so join us as we take to the Sky(line).

Each of the Skyline pedals comes with stickers, instructions, a rubber pad and Velcro pad for attaching it to your pedalboard. Also, did we mention how freakin’ small these things are?

See that metal bar? That prevents you stomping on all those controls in the heat of the moment. This trio is made up of the Liftup boost, Komp compressor and Blues overdrive

Each pedal also has a button that gives you additional tonal options. These four are the dirtier stompers in the series: the Chunk British-style distortion, Fury fuzz, Grass boutique-esque overdrive and Whip metal distortion

Just to really hammer the point home, here’s a Hotone pedal next to a couple of other ‘regular’ and Nano-sized stompboxes. It’s so tiny!
