Description

The Crazy Tube Circuits Killer V is a boutique California-style preamp and vibrato pedal from the Greek builder, designed to capture the warm, clean preamp character of classic Fender amplifiers combined with an authentic vibrato effect. The discrete preamp circuit delivers the glassy, clean American tone associated with blackface Fender amplifiers, while the vibrato section adds the swirling pitch modulation of classic amp-built tremolo and vibrato circuits. Suited for blues, country, surf, and vintage American tone players seeking authentic California amp character and vibrato in a pedal format.

The Mooer Micro Preamp 003 Power-Zone is voiced after the Koch PowerTone, a Dutch boutique head prized for a mid-forward, dynamic crunch that sits between British bite and American girth. Two footswitchable channels each with three-band EQ.
