Blended 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.51% — moderately similar

The Crazy Tube Circuits Sidekick is a multi-effects pedal inspired by 1980s digital processing hardware, combining a sweet sparky echo/delay (up to 700ms) with three algorithms of spacious reverb (Exciter, Plate, and Shimmer) plus a fully analog BBD chorus. The analog chorus can be switched for less modulated delay time with extra feedback creating flanger-like effects. An 80s-inspired multi-effects workstation in a compact boutique format. Made in Greece by Crazy Tube Circuits.
The Crazy Tube Circuits Sidekick Jr is a compact modulation, delay and reverb combo pedal from the Greek builder, successor to the 2019 Sidekick with more DSP power and double the algorithms in a smaller enclosure. It carries six reverb types, two delays and three modulation algorithms explicitly modelled on Boss's 1980s benchmarks -- an Ensemble mode for warm, lush chorus, a Dimension mode for subtle stereo-style widening and shimmer, and a flanger for sweeping, metallic jet-plane movement. The reverbs and delays are quiet and high quality, staying analogue-flavoured and never sounding digital unless intended. There are no menu screens: each section has its own straightforward controls. Well suited to players wanting an all-in-one '80s-voiced ambient and modulation section without the cost or board space of three separate pedals.
