Crazy Tube Circuits · pedal
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.
