The Aclam The Woman Tone is a gorgeous, sonic time machine that perfectly captures one of the most iconic guitar tones in rock history: Eric Clapton’s legendary "Woman Tone" from his 1960s tenure with Cream. Rather than forcing you to constantly tweak your guitar's volume and tone pots to find that elusive sweet spot, Aclam has meticulously engineered that exact warm, singing, and womanly overdrive character into a single, specialized pedal board weapon.

To achieve absolute historical accuracy, Aclam painstakingly replicated the preamp circuit of a vintage 1960s Marshall JTM45 amplifier being pushed into natural saturation. They then paired it with a custom-calibrated pickup simulation circuit that mimics the exact frequency roll-off of a vintage Gibson humbucker's tone control rolled all the way down to zero. The result is a pedal that delivers rich, vocal-like sustain, smooth top-end compression, and a uniquely articulate mid-range bloom.

Intuitive, Era-Specific Control

The Woman Tone provides a streamlined interface designed to let you dial in legendary British blues-rock saturation instantly:

• The Woman Tone Knob: The heart of the pedal. This control simulates rolling off the tone pot on a vintage humbucker. Turning it counter-clockwise darkens the highs and sweetens the mids, allowing you to fine-tune the exact amount of "woodiness" and vocal compression in your signal.
• Volume & Gain: Behave exactly like the controls on a cranked plexi-style amplifier, letting you dial in everything from subtle, touch-sensitive breakup to thick, endlessly sustaining classic rock overdrive.

The "Humblocker" Pickup Simulator

One of the most innovative aspects of this pedal is its built-in Humblocker circuit. Traditional tone roll-offs can often sound muddy or lose definition when used with single-coil pickups. Aclam's integrated pickup simulator ensures that whether you are plugging in a Strat, a Tele, or a Les Paul, the pedal responds with the exact same harmonic thickness and impedance characteristics of Clapton’s famous "Fool" SG.

Boutique Build & Eye-Catching Design

• Custom Artwork: Housed in a striking purple enclosure featuring stunning, era-correct psychedelic artwork designed by Marijke Koger-Dunham—the original artist behind Cream's iconic painted instruments and fashion.
• Smart Track Fastening System: Features Aclam's proprietary side-groove chassis design, making it instantly compatible with Aclam Smart Track pedalboards for a secure fit without the need for messy velcro.
• True Bypass Switching: Utilizes premium relay-based true bypass switching to ensure your dry signal remains 100% pristine when the effect is disengaged.
