VaLEDine’s Day 2025.
In Blackfeet culture, there was no stronger bond than that between a warrior and their war horse. This year, we honor that powerful connection with the Love Pony — our Valentine’s Day-inspired evolution of our faithful War Pony overdrive/distortion pedal.

This limited-edition pedal comes wrapped in love, featuring:
Heart of War Pony - A robust gain structure and dynamic range.
Redesigned Post-Gain Tone Circuit: We've tightened the low-end response, resulting in a more focused and articulate overdrive/distortion.

A NativeAudio.com exclusive.
War Pony is an overdrive and distortion, delivering tone that’s aggressive, wild, and designed for battling a range of tonal situations. Originating from our War Party, War Pony completely removes all boundaries when it comes to NativeAudio™ design. From the fresh layout to the updated and destructive tonal characteristics, War Pony is here to wage war on bad tone.
The tone.
The War Pony is an amp-like overdrive/distortion with touch sensitive dynamic response that is inspired by the NativeAudio™ Kiaayo and the legendary ProCo™ RAT. The streamlined interface includes volume, gain, and tone controls for maximum versatility in any overdrive/distortion application. The War Pony bridges the gap between overdrive and distortion with the unique filtering and asymmetrical clipping found in the Kiaayo along with the RAT’s low gain to high gain flexibility.
*NativeAudio™ is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with ProCo, ProCo’s trademarks, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
Thick and hardy.
We hooked War Pony up with our hybrid clipping which is two entirely different clipping styles (diode and LED) that in return creates something super tasty. In addition, we completely reworked the high pass filtering that’s integrated into the gain circuitry to further open the doors to creativity.
How does this new gain structure sound? It has all the tube-like response that you get from asymmetrical clipping but with the hybrid and newly filtered approach, you get the following:
Additional headroom for low frequency content. The low frequencies retain their structure through all levels of gain, making this pedal perfect for all bass lovers and guitarist who don’t mind thick tone.
No bacon sizzle. No annoying bacon sizzle sound when you push the pedal to towards the higher gain range, only smooth and elegant tone that’s a little rageful.
High-end clarity. Every single note can be heard at all stages of gain so whether your slinging jangly tunes or throwing down the D-stortion, individual notes maintain maximum clarity when met with complex chording.

About the Artwork.
The term “War Pony” is in reference to the warrior’s beloved war horse. In Native American culture, the horse was an extension of the warrior. The warrior would proudly ride their War Pony into battle, earning them approval and prominence within the tribe. The War Pony would often be painted with the same pattern and colors that the warrior used in battle, and it was through these markings the story of the warrior was told.
