Crazy Tube Circuits Killer V - California Style Preamp/Vibrato with authentic tube drive behavior
The Crazy Tube Circuits Killer V is a detailed homage to the rare Californian amps of the 50s and 60s, which are known for their unique pitch shifting vibrato. Using a completely analog JFET circuit and internal voltage boost, the pedal authentically recreates the dynamics, compression character and overdrive behavior of the originals, including natural output stage saturation. The vibrato is based on an analog LFO that controls two modulation stages and creates real pitch modulation, while a parallel dry signal provides shimmering vibe and phaser like sounds when desired. As a result, Killer V delivers both punchy vintage cleans and lively modulation sounds with three dimensional depth.
