The Crazy Guitar Pedals always come out on top. This is New is in stock and ready to post out to you, with fast, reliable delivery straight to your door. For more New Guitar Pedals options, read on for full specifications, demos, and secure online ordering.

Back in 2016, Crazy Tube Circuits built a custom amp that was designed to morph between the sounds of a 5E3 Tweed Deluxe and a 6G2 Brownface Princeton. CTC liked the sound and feel of that amp so much, that they decided to capture it in a pedal format!

The Falcon pedal was designed as a painstakingly-close emulation of the circuits found in these amps. With every detail in mind, CTC copied the behavior, sound and feel of the preamp, phase inverter and power amp of both these designs. Applying JFET technology, they managed to recreate not only the overdriven sounds, but the lower gain/clean tones as well.

The most important part was emulating the compression and sag coming out of the power amp and tube rectifier respectively. This effect enhances the pedal's dynamic, musical feel and makes it very responsive to your picking attack. Depending on amp mode setting and your guitar/pickup's output, this effect can be more or less pronounced.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Classic

Falcon

Falcon is a model name most closely associated with large, premium hollow body electric guitars known for their bold appearance and rich, resonant tone. Falcons are typically full-sized hollow body instruments with ornate styling, high-quality hardware, and a strong emphasis on visual presence as well as sound.

Tonally, Falcon-style guitars deliver warm lows, clear highs, and a broad, open character that works well for clean and lightly driven sounds. They are commonly used in rock and roll, country, jazz, and roots music, and appeal to players who want a striking instrument with classic tone, projection, and stage presence.

Overdrive

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit, and natural compression to your tone, capturing the feel of a pushed tube amp. They respond dynamically to your playing, offering everything from a light bluesy crunch to full, saturated rock tones. Perfect for boosting solos or shaping your core sound, an overdrive pedal brings character and life to any setup. Whether you prefer vintage smoothness or modern bite, these pedals are essential for players who want expressive, touch-sensitive drive with plenty of personality.

Pedal

Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.

Tube

Tube refers to valve-based amplification or circuitry that uses vacuum tubes to amplify the guitar signal. Tube amps and tube-driven pedals are valued for their warm tone, natural compression, and smooth overdrive, responding dynamically to playing strength and volume changes for a more expressive feel.
