Crazy Tube Circuits Stardust V3 Overdrive Pedal

Three legendary black-panel amp tones in one compact pedal.

The Stardust V3 by Crazy Tube Circuits replicates the breakup and dynamic response of classic 1960s black-panel American amplifiers, delivering smooth drive, rich harmonics, and responsive touch sensitivity. Whether used as a low-gain boost or medium-gain drive, Stardust provides warm tube-like saturation with three distinct amp voicings.

Key Features

• Three Amp Voicings – Select between:

  • BSM – Voiced after a Bassman, known for tight low-end and punchy mids.

  • VLX – Modeled after a Vibrolux, offering chimey cleans and controllable crunch.

  • DLX – Inspired by a Deluxe Reverb, delivering warm breakup and rich harmonics.

• MOSFET Gain Stages – Uses discrete MOSFET transistors to replicate tube-like response, ensuring smooth drive and dynamic touch sensitivity.

• Internal Voltage Boost – Converts 9V to 18V DC, increasing headroom and output volume, allowing the pedal to function as a preamp or booster.

• Soft-Click Relay Switching – Uses true bypass via a high-quality relay, ensuring silent switching.
