Crazy Tube Circuits Cyclone Multi-Mode Phaser Pedal.

Description

The Crazy Tube Circuits Cyclone is an all-analogue phaser pedal voiced after classic phaser designs of the past. CTC set out to emulate the phasing notches, frequency shifts and the general behavior of the original units that each of the voicings are modelled on. With the addition of extra controls, a whole range of classic and non-classic uses become available making it an ideal texture machine with unparalleled harmonic richness!

Besides guitar and bass, the Cyclone can be used on any instrument and works particularly well with classic keyboard sounds too. Place before or after your favorite drive pedal to create different sound effects and textures.

Voicings

45: Voiced after a classic 2-stage phaser born in the mid ’70s. Add spacy ambience to your sound with this subtle and musical effect somewhere between a warm, organic phaser and a rotary speaker effect.
90: Voiced after a classic 4-stage phaser from the ’70s. From subtle, warm and shimmering modulation to all-out high-velocity swoosh! The original units and their alterations/derivatives had little or no feedback signal at all. With the addition of the feedback knob on the Cyclone, you can emulate all these different versions and then some.
ST: Voiced after the 1st implementation of another classic 4-stage phaser design of the ’70s. Stronger and dirtier mid-frequency notches for a whirling, pulsating and whooshing phaser effect. The original unit had a switch to select between no feedback and a fixed amount of feedback. With the addition of the feedback knob, you can emulate all the in-between settings and more.
LT: Mesmerising phaser/vibrato. Voiced after a highly sought-after boutique phaser pedal that came to life during the ’90s in the UK with 4 distinct phase-shift notches. Takes an ideal space between a phaser and a vibe type of effect (depending on settings). CTC’s take focuses mainly on the classic phaser/vibe, not the extreme sci-fi, sounds that were available from the original unit.
