Crazy Tube Circuits Crossfire Dual Overdrive Pedal

Two legendary circuits, one seamless combination.

The Crossfire by Crazy Tube Circuits merges blackface Fender amp tones with classic green mid-hump overdrive, delivering sparkly cleans, dynamic breakup, and touch-sensitive drive. Whether you're chasing Stevie Ray Vaughan-inspired tones or crafting your own blues and rock textures, Crossfire provides authentic analog response with versatile gain staging.

Key Features

• Dual-Effect Design – Two independent circuits:

  • Left Side – Emulates blackface Fender amps like the Twin Reverb and Super Reverb, offering bold lows, sparkly highs, and slightly scooped mids.

  • Right Side – Recreates the classic green mid-hump overdrive (Ibanez Tube Screamer), with selectable clipping and gain modifications.

• Headroom Switch – Toggle between:

  • Solid-State Rectified 4x6L6GC Power Amp – Provides super-clean headroom.

  • Tube-Rectified 2x6L6GC Power Amp – Adds spongier compression and breakup.

• Clipping & Gain Toggles – The right-side overdrive includes:

  • Clipping Switch – Select symmetrical (original) or asymmetrical clipping for enhanced touch-sensitive drive.

  • Gain Toggle – Adds more gain and alters low-frequency response, mimicking two Tube Screamers in series.

• Passive Effects Loop – Allows users to place pedals between the overdrive and amp sections, or use each side independently.

• Internal Voltage Boost – The overdrive section can run at 18V DC internally, increasing headroom and clarity.

• Selectable Bypass Modes – Choose between relay-based true bypass or buffered bypass, ensuring smooth signal transitions.
