Say hello to Unobtanium, a rare sonic element born out of legendary tones! With Unobtanium, a mythical overdrive meets the sound and feel of two iconic amplifiers. Crazy Tube Circuits have accurately recreated the circuit of the high-headroom overdrive with the magic blend of clean and overdriven tones and added extra features for versatility.

The amp-in-a-box section uses an all-analogue circuit to capture the essence of two legendary D-style tube amplifiers — delivering anything from tube-like, compressed fat cleans to sweet singing overdrive with blooming harmonic overtones. Combine both sides for near-infinite smooth sustain and to enter sonic bliss, while a passive series effects loop gives you the option to connect your beloved pedals between the overdrive and amp section; building your ideal rig.

Key Features

  • Dual overdrive with independent operation.
  • Two legendary sonic elements combined in one device.
  • Right side: K-style pedal overdrive circuit including the fabled germanium diodes.
  • Left side: D-style Amp in a box overdrive.
  • Passive series effects loop to connect other pedals between the two sections or use them separately.
  • Runs internally at 18V DC for higher headroom and tube-like performance.
  • Exceptional pick attack response — almost infinite smooth sustain when both sides are combined.
  • Top-mounted jacks for easy pedalboard mounting.
  • Click-less true bypass design via high-quality relay.
  • Use only 9V DC center negative power supply (not included).
  • Modest current consumption of 83mA.
  • Pebble grey die-cast enclosure with black ink in old-school type print.
  • Made in Greece.

Right Side Controls

  • Controls: gain, treble (tone), volume, bypass mode and clipping/compression.
  • Wide gain range control, from transparent boost to high headroom overdrive.
  • Treble control is an active circuit to boost or cut highs.
  • Volume knob sets overall output (huge amount of dB boost available).
  • Toggle switch to select between the original buffer bypass to add clarity and run long cables or true bypass.
  • Toggle switch to select between stock clipping/compression or enhanced gain and headroom/output.

Left Side Controls

  • Controls: gain, emphasis, tone, volume, amplifier voicing toggle.
  • Gain control, from clean boost to sweet singing overdrive.
  • Emphasis control is a pre-drive EQ to control presence and bottom-end response.
  • Tone knob controls the amount of post overdrive high-end frequencies.
  • Volume knob sets overall output (match bypassed volume or use as a clean boost or preamp).
  • Toggle switch selects between two distinct D-style overdrive circuits.
  • SSS: clean and transparent overdrive with natural organic compression.
  • ODS: higher gain overdrive with enhanced mid frequencies and harmonic overtones.
  • External footswitch input to select amplifier voicing (bypasses onboard toggle switch).
  • Internal trimmers adjust EQ and volume boost of D-style overdrive voicings.

Stuff About 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.

The Important stuff

Circuits. Dual — Dual describes gear designed with two of the same or complementary features working together, such as dual channels, dual pickups, or dual effects. This allows greater flexibility and tonal range, letting players switch or blend between sounds for different styles, settings, or playing dynamics without changing their setup.. 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..
