Crazy Tube Circuits Cyclone vs Schulte Compact Phaser

The Crazy Tube Circuits Cyclone and the Schulte Compact Phaser are both pedals sharing modulated. The Crazy Tube Circuits Cyclone leans analog warmth.

Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Crazy Tube Circuits Cyclone is a four-in-one analog phaser pedal that includes emulations of the MXR Phase 90, MXR Phase 45, Electro-Harmonix Small Stone, and the rarer Lovetone Doppelganger phasers in a single compact unit. Features Rate, Depth, Mix, and Feedback controls for comprehensive phaser shaping, going beyond the single Rate knob of the original Phase 90, Phase 45, and Small Stone designs. At lower Depth settings produces harmonic tremolo-like character. Made in Greece by Crazy Tube Circuits.

The Schulte Compact Phaser is a vintage phase-shifting effects unit that formed part of Ritchie Blackmore's outboard effects setup during his Deep Purple and Rainbow years, adding a swirling, modulated texture to his guitar tone distinct from the more common flanger and chorus effects other 70s hard rock guitarists favored. As with much of the era's boutique European effects gear, detailed specifications and production history are less documented than for the more famous American and British stompbox brands, but its use in Blackmore's rig places it within the broader wave of phase-shift technology that became a signature texture across 1970s rock guitar.
