Crazy Tube Circuits
Crazy Tube Circuits (CTC) has quickly carved a niche for itself in the boutique effects pedal market, specializing in high-gain, vintage-voiced circuits with a focus on tube-like saturation and character. Founded in the late 2000s, CTC's designs are often inspired by classic, sought-after amplifiers and effects, reimagined for the modern pedalboard. They’ve earned a reputation for delivering premium-priced, powerful tones in relatively compact enclosures.
