Crazy Tube Circuits released the Mirage JR, a single-channel version of its Mirage Dual Reverb Workstation, Guitar Pedal X reported on September 24, 2025. The report said the pedal arrives a little over two months after the original dual-channel unit.

The Mirage JR is described as "literally half of the original pedal," keeping "the exact same 16 algorithms and control topology for that single channel" while omitting the routing options and stereo playback of the larger model¹. The algorithms are split into outer and inner sets, selected with a shift button. The outer set is Plate Cathedral, Hall, Room, Spring, Springier, Inchindown and Gated; the inner set is Up, Down, Dual and Pitch Shimmer, Repeater, Moduverb, Frozen Hall and Infinite¹.

Controls listed are Volume, Mix, Voice, Swell Degree, Excite and Engage Reverb, plus a shift button for the outer and inner reverb modes and an assign button for Swell or Excite¹. The report gives the US price as $235, against $349 for the dual-channel Mirage¹.

The same report said the reviewer needs reverb pedals to be full stereo, which "alas excludes the Mirage JR"¹. Gearnews, writing on September 29, 2025, described the pedal as mono and "powered by a single engine instead of the dual engine of the big one"². MusicRadar's July 1, 2025 article on the original Mirage said a stripped-down single-engine version was in the works³.
