Great video, Shane! You clearly dig this pedal - I love CTC pedals, too: I bought a Falcon a few years ago after you demo'd it. I'll have to add this one to my list along with the Crossfire.

Gotta love made in Greece pedals. Those Greeks are pedal geeks. Tsakalis audio works, crazy tube circuits, jam pedals, VS Audio and so on!

[hutchfromba]

Very nice pedal Shane. Especially for home playing. Blues On....💙

[lostreb]

Thank you for another great demo, review, and video, Shane. Please keep them coming.

[shanewalton]

Incredible tones. Those Greeks know guitar tone almost as well as they know philosophy.

[jamalabdul]

Not a bad pedal! It can really flavor your amp with classic Fender amp tones wit a flick of a switch! Awesome job Crazy Tube Circuits and tasty licks Shane! 🎸🎸🎸

[kevinmusso]

Hey now! That was some inspired riffing Shane. Really sweet. I have version 2 and love it, but I think I’m going to swap it for this one

[jeffmariajenson]

I'd have liked to hear it also through a non-Fender amp. Would it deliver with the DSL clean channel?

[FernandoLopez-juuv]

Hola, ya que has probado la epiphone sg standard y la tokai sg 58, cual consideras que es mejor. Gracias. Un saludo.

[ronnievox]

Shane - which pedal sounds better to you between the v2 and v3?
Thanks!

[darthj_der]

I wish more pedals had jax on top. Nice attention to details that players like!

[BelgianDoomer]

Hi fellow lefty, i have the v2 of this pedal, i read on the v3 page that the new version can act as a preamp. Is this also true for the v2? i couldnt find any info on this

I own Fender Champion 50 XL. I kept it locked in the closet for almost two years, because I have three other valve amps. This one was ment for small venues which due to CV never took place. Now I've started to use it, . On its own it sounds very good. To the point that I have started to to think about the combination of the two (Champion+ Stardust) hoping that it would make this set-up to sound like a real valve amp (alike Princetone 68) . Did anybody tried this set-up?

[scottreynolds]

Looks like another pedal purchase is in my future!!!

[aarongrimwood]

Love the idea and sound of this. The graphics are a bit underwhelming, this with a more fender amp or 50/60s styling would be awesome to see. It’s a small thing but lots of us love crazy graphics with out crazy circuits!

[sassycat]

If I hadn't just purchased the Volta Black Tweed Plus, this would have strong consideration for purchase. Great sounds out of it.

[tbone]

Sounds great. What model Stratocaster is that?

[Emas]

Sounds great! Wonder what it would sound like through a TDR?

I thought I was already subscribed. Now I have to pay?
