Crazy Tube Circuits Ziggy V2 Overdrive/Distortion Pedal

Authentic British amp tones in a compact pedal.

The Ziggy V2 by Crazy Tube Circuits captures the essence of British-voiced tube amplifiers, delivering dynamic overdrive that ranges from mild breakup to full-stack saturation. Featuring two independent gain stages, Ziggy allows seamless transitions between crunchy rhythm tones and soaring lead gain, making it a versatile drive pedal for any setup.

Key Features

• Dual Gain Stages – Two distinct circuits inspired by legendary British amps:

  • Low-Gain Channel – Voiced after a late '60s Super Bass, offering warm, dynamic overdrive with rich harmonic content.

  • High-Gain Channel – Modeled after a late '70s Master Volume British amp, delivering tight, saturated distortion with enhanced midrange presence.

• MOSFET Gain Stages – Designed to respond like a tube amp, providing ultra touch sensitivity for expressive playing.

• Voicing Controls – The Gain knobs on both channels also act as voicing controls, adding more bass as you turn clockwise, allowing for jangly cleans to thick crunch.

• Presence Control – The Tone knobs behave as a presence control, adding bite and clarity to the signal.

• Internal Voltage Boost – Converts 9V to 18V DC, ensuring maximum headroom and tube-like response.

• True Bypass Switching – Maintains signal integrity when disengaged.
