Crazy Tube Circuits Heatseeker

The Crazy Tube Circuits Heatseeker is an amp-in-a-box pedal that revives the iconic sound of three legendary British tube amps.

This pedal brings the sounds of three Marshall amps that shaped rock music. The power of the Heatseeker lies in its analog preamp/tone enhancer circuit, which boosts the dynamics and harmonic richness of your guitar signal. It offers a percussive attack that takes your sound to the next level and is a modern reinterpretation of classic amp sounds.

The pedal is made up of two sections. The right side is a recreation of the preamp and tone enhancer expander circuit of the Schaffer Vega Diversity System. Here you operate the Enhance and Level knobs to control this section. The left side is a full analog simulation of the preamp and power amp circuit of three iconic Marshall amps: the JTM45, the Super Lead Plexi and the JMP 2203.

Thanks to a fully analog JFET circuit, operating at 27 volts via an internal voltage booster, the Heatseeker delivers the pure rock 'n' roll feel. With a dynamic response that ranges from bright to powerful, this pedal offers impressive versatility.

The "WoS" (Wall of Sound) circuit expands your sound by increasing the output, adding powerful lows and rich mids. The effect is reminiscent of "adding" a wall of amps. In addition, there is a passive effect loop that allows you to place your favorite pedals between the two sections for added flexibility.
