Crazy Tube Circuits Triptychon

The Crazy Tube Circuits Triptychon brings classic fuzz and amp drive together again

Legendary fuzz sounds are created not only in the pedal, but also in the amplifier that follows it. The Crazy Tube Circuits Triptychon brings this interaction together in three fully analog sections: fuzz, treble boost or octave fuzz, and amp-like drive. Use them separately or combine them into a complete gain structure, even when playing with a clean amplifier.

The fuzz section offers four voices, inspired by the Fuzz Face, Vox Tone Bender, Tone Bender Mk1.5, and MkII. Ranging from open and dynamic to saturated and biting, with silicon transistors designed for a germanium-like response and clean-up via the guitar volume. The right section switches between treble boost and upper octave fuzz. With MOD, you can choose a fuller mid boost or a louder, harmonically richer octave sound. Below that, the drive provides the compression and response of an overdriven tube amplifier.

The fuzz has its own fuzz and volume controls; the boost/octave section has a gain control, and the drive features drive, tone, and master controls. Two switchable anti-buffer circuits support use after buffers or active pickups. The drive can be engaged with the fuzz or boost/octave, or operated independently with an optional XT footswitch via a TS instrument cable. All sections feature true bypass with relays. Use only regulated 9 V DC, center-negative; the maximum power consumption is 80 mA, and the adapter is not included. An isolated power supply is recommended.
