Cts · pedal
The Crazy Tube Circuits Memphis is a vintage vibrato and clean preamp pedal based on late 1950s and early 1960s analog vibrato circuits. Features a 2-stage pitch shifting circuit powered by an internal voltage multiplier for high headroom and improved dynamic response. An ALL WET / DRY+WET toggle switch selects between 100 percent modulated signal or parallel dry and wet signals simultaneously. A clean period-correct preamp section provides up to 20dB of clean boost. Reviewed by MusicRadar and Guitar World. Suited to vintage-voiced guitar tones across blues, country, and classic rock.
