The Crazy Tube Circuits Crossfire is inspired by one of the most iconic pedal and amp combinations in guitar history. The left side is voiced after the legendary "Blackface" amps that defined clean electric guitar sounds. All-analogue and following the circuit path to the exact detail, CTC managed to include all of the essential sonic ingredients! From the big bold lows to the sparkly highs and slightly scooped mids.
2-in-1 Design!
Match that to the green "mid-hump" overdrive we've all grown to love, upon its inception in the late '70s, found on the right side. CTC chose to accurately recreate the circuit of this classic overdrive but with the addition of some of the most common modifications the pedal has seen throughout the years of its mass production or boutique variations. A clipping toggle switch selects between symmetrical (original) or asymmetrical clipping for enhanced touch-sensitive drive characteristics, while a gain toggle adds more gain and alters the low frequency response making it reminiscent of placing two of the same overdrive pedals in series. An internal switch offers additional headroom by providing 18V DC to the overdrive circuit.
Built-In Effects Loop
A passive effects loop gives you the option to connect your beloved pedals in the signal chain, building your ideal rig or use the two sides independently (send is the output of the overdrive side, return is the input of the amp side). When both sides are in bypass mode, the loop is true bypass as well, so your signal won't be affected at all.
