Crazy Tube Circuits Stardust V3 Overdrive

Crazy Tube Circuits Stardust V3: three Blackface amp characters in one all-analog overdrive pedal

The Crazy Tube Circuits Stardust V3 is designed to capture the sound and response of three different Blackface amps just as they start to sing. An all-analog signal path with discrete MOSFET gain stages delivers juicy overdrive tones with excellent note separation, cleaning up to that sparkling, shimmering sound we all know from classic recordings. Set gain and tone and control everything from your guitar: from sparkling clean to crunchy and mean.

The three Blackface characters can be selected via the toggle switch: BSM (inspired by a Blackface amp head that became famous for classic rock guitar tones), VLX (a chimey 2×10″ combo with the perfect amount of controllable crunch), and DLX (one of the most popular low-wattage 1×12″ combos that has found its way into countless recording studios and clubs). The internal voltage booster raises the 9V signal to 18V for extra headroom and dynamic response.

The Stardust V3 is handmade in Greece by Crazy Tube Circuits, features top-mounted jacks and a soft-click true bypass via a high-quality relay. An excellent choice for guitarists who want the versatility of three Blackface characters in one compact pedal.
