The Crazy Tube Circuits Hi-Power, model HPR, is a dual amp in a box overdrive inspired by the rig behind Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. The right side is a faithful recreation of David Gilmour's Colorsound Power Boost overdrive, ranging from mild preamp breakup through drive to full fuzz, while the left side is an all analog emulation of the Hiwatt amp used on the record, with selectable 50 watt and 100 watt voicings. Together they deliver high headroom British clean tones and creamy, singing lead drive with rich harmonic content. It suits classic rock, prog and blues players chasing Gilmour style sustain and vintage British amp character, or anyone wanting a flexible boost into amp in a box combination.
The Revv G2 is a preamp, overdrive and distortion pedal reproducing the Green channel of Revv's Generator amplifiers, with the widest gain and EQ range in the company's pedal line. A three-way switch gives three distinct voices: Off is a full-range clean boost with the three-band EQ still active; Blue is the Green channel's signature touch-responsive breakup; and Red delivers a more authentic, amp-like saturated gain feel. On its own it is open, woody and chewy, with the dynamic response of a cranked tube amp rather than a compressed pedal distortion, which has made it a favourite of Nashville session players for its clarity and dynamics. It works equally as a classic crunch box, a boost to push a tube amp into sweet saturation, or an always-on drive, covering both rhythm and lead duty. This is the Gold finish edition of the same circuit.
