November 1, 2019 · 1 sources
Crazy Tube Circuits announced the Cyclone, a new phaser pedal that expands the company's lineup of effects. The pedal is all-analog and is voiced after classic phasers, with four selectable voicings that cover designs from the 1970s and 1990s1.
The four voicings are:
- 45, voiced after a classic 2-stage phaser from the 70s
- 90, voiced after a 4-stage phaser from the 70s
- ST, voiced after the first implementation of another 4-stage phaser from the 70s
- LT, voiced after a boutique UK phaser from the 90s1
Each voicing is shaped by four knobs: Mix, Feed, Speed and Depth, for dialing in your tone from each setting. The pedal also has a dedicated tap tempo footswitch and an expression pedal input for controlling the speed of the LFO (the low-frequency oscillator that drives the sweep)1.
Crazy Tube Circuits described the pedal's range in its announcement1:
"With the addition of extra controls, not part of some of the classic designs, a whole range of classic and non-classic uses becomes available making it an ideal texture machine with unparalleled harmonic richness"1
The Cyclone is hand-built in Athens, Greece, uses true bypass switching, and runs on a 9V DC supply. It was available at announcement with a direct price of approximately $2051.
