The Crazy Tube Circuits Cyclone is an all-analogue phaser pedal voiced after classic phaser designs of the past. CTC set out to emulate the phasing notches, frequency shifts and the general behavior of the original units that each of the voicings are modelled on. With the addition of extra controls, a whole range of classic and non-classic uses become available — making it an ideal texture machine with unparalleled harmonic richness!

Besides guitar and bass, the Cyclone can be used on any instrument and works particularly well with classic keyboard sounds too. Place before or after your favorite drive pedal to create different sound effects and textures.

Voicings

  • 45: Voiced after a classic 2-stage phaser born in the mid '70s. Add spacy ambience to your sound with this subtle and musical effect somewhere between a warm, organic phaser and a rotary speaker effect.
  • 90: Voiced after a classic 4-stage phaser from the '70s. From subtle, warm and shimmering modulation to all-out high-velocity swoosh! The original units and their alterations/derivatives had little or no feedback signal at all. With the addition of the feedback knob on the Cyclone, you can emulate all these different versions and then some.
  • ST: Voiced after the 1st implementation of another classic 4-stage phaser design of the '70s. Stronger and dirtier mid-frequency notches for a whirling, pulsating and whooshing phaser effect. The original unit had a switch to select between no feedback and a fixed amount of feedback. With the addition of the feedback knob, you can emulate all the in-between settings and more.
  • LT: Mesmerising phaser/vibrato. Voiced after a highly sought-after boutique phaser pedal that came to life during the '90s in the UK with 4 distinct phase-shift notches. Takes an ideal space between a phaser and a vibe type of effect (depending on settings). CTC's take focuses mainly on the classic phaser/vibe, not the extreme sci-fi, sounds that were available from the original unit.

Phaser — A phaser is a type of guitar effects pedal that creates a swirling, sweeping sound by modulating the phase of the audio signal. It works by splitting the incoming signal into two paths, shifting the phase of one path, and then recombining them. This creates peaks and troughs in the frequency spectrum, resulting in a distinctive, “phasing” effect characterized by moving notches in the frequency response. Here’s how a phaser pedal typically works and some common features: 1. **Rate**: The rate control adjusts the speed at which the phase-shifting effect oscillates. Increasing the rate produces faster modulation, creating a more pronounced swirling effect, while decreasing the rate slows down the modulation for a smoother, more subtle effect. 2. **Depth**: The depth control adjusts the intensity or depth of the phase-shifting effect. Higher depth settings result in more pronounced peaks and troughs in the frequency response, while lower settings produce a more subtle modulation. 3. **Feedback (or Regeneration)**: Some phaser pedals feature a feedback control that determines the amount of modulated signal fed back into the effect. Increasing the feedback creates more pronounced peaks and troughs in the frequency spectrum, resulting in a more intense and resonant phasing effect. 4. **Stages**: Phasers typically have multiple stages (usually four, six, or eight), each of which contributes to the overall phase-shifting effect. More stages generally result in a more complex and textured phasing sound. 5. **Sweep (or Manual)**: The sweep control adjusts the center frequency of the phase-shifting effect. This allows you to focus the phasing effect on specific frequency ranges, altering the tonal character of the modulation. 6. **Resonance (or Feedback)**: Some phaser pedals feature a resonance control that emphasizes the peaks and troughs in the frequency response, creating a more pronounced and resonant effect. This control can add richness and depth to the phasing sound. Phaser pedals are commonly used in various music genres, including rock, funk, and psychedelic music, to add movement, depth, and texture to guitar tones. They can be used to create swirling, swirling effects on rhythm parts, add dynamics to lead lines, or create atmospheric textures for ambient music. Overall, phaser pedals offer guitarists a versatile tool for shaping their tone and adding expressive modulation effects to their playing.. Tube — Tube-sounding guitar effect pedals are celebrated for their ability to replicate the warm, rich, and dynamic tones associated with classic vacuum tube amplifiers. These pedals emulate the natural harmonic distortion and compression produced by tube circuitry, which adds depth and character to the guitar’s sound. This results in a more organic and engaging tone with a pleasingly smooth overdrive that many musicians find desirable. The warmth and complexity of tube emulation can enhance both subtle nuances and powerful lead tones, making it ideal for genres that favour vintage or classic sounds. Tube-sounding pedals often provide greater responsiveness to playing dynamics, allowing for expressive performance variations based on how hard or softly you play. This dynamic sensitivity ensures that the pedal’s effect adjusts naturally with your playing style, preserving the nuances of your technique. The harmonic richness and clarity achieved through these pedals offer a more detailed and full-bodied sound, which helps in achieving a distinctive tone that stands out in both live performances and studio recordings. Despite the higher cost and occasional maintenance needs, the unique tonal qualities of tube-sounding pedals make them a favoured choice for guitarists seeking an authentic and versatile sound..
