Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio vs Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio V2

The Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio and the Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio V2 are both pedals sharing warm. The Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio V2 leans compressed.

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 Golden Ratio (Phi) is a dual-engine compressor pedal featuring separate FET and optical compression circuits in one enclosure with a switch to select between them. The FET engine delivers crisp, punchy compression while the optical circuit provides warm, fluid compression. The pedal essentially delivers two distinct compressor voices in one unit. Built in Greece by Crazy Tube Circuits with boutique quality components.

The Crazy Tube Circuits Golden Ratio V2 (Phi V2) is an enhanced three-engine compressor pedal adding an OTA (operational transconductance amplifier) feed-forward detection circuit to the original Golden Ratio's FET and optical engines, achieving three separate analog compression circuits in one compact enclosure selectable via a switch. The OTA engine is optimized for catching fast transients and serving as a hard limiter. The V2 achieves engineering nirvana for players who want three distinct analog compression voices. Made in Greece.
