Distortion
Hot Cake
The Crowther Audio Hot Cake is a boost/overdrive pedal designed to maintain the undistorted component of the guitar sound while providing a rich distortion without affecting the guitar's tonality. It features a Level, Drive, and Bass control knobs, along with an XLF (Extended Low Frequency) switch and a +Cream switch. The XLF switch is designed for extended low- frequency response, particularly for bass, while the +Cream switch offers a smoother overdrive sound with slightly less headroom and increased sustain. The pedal does not include a battery and is hand-made in New Zealand. The Hot Cake V2 is known for its transparency and ability to preserve the natural tone of the guitar while providing a thick distortion tone when cranked.
Double Hot Cake
The Double Hot Cake by Crowther is a dual overdrive pedal featuring two Hot Cake overdrive circuits, labeled as 'A' and 'B' in one box. The 'A' channel is a Bluesberry version, providing a slightly less buzzy edge at the onset of distortion, while the 'B' channel is the standard Hot Cake. When both channels are engaged, 'A' drives 'B' with an additional drive control. The pedal includes three knobs and a footswitch for each channel, and when both channels are switched on together, the 'A' Hot Cake drives the 'B' with an extra drive control to adjust its gain. Additionally, there is an extra clipping stage and a reduction in low frequencies to enhance the lead sound in high gain situations. The 'A' Hot Cake features a buffered bypass, while the 'B' Hot Cake is hard bypassed using gold-plated contacts. The pedal is hand-made in New Zealand and is designed to provide a fat distortion sound without altering the undistorted component of the guitar sound. The Double Hot Cake is housed in a single chassis, offering a versatile and powerful overdrive solution for guitarists.

Prunes & Custard
The Prunes & Custard by Crowther is a two-stage circuit with a preamp stage followed by a special waveshaping distortion circuit. It is capable of producing strong odd harmonic overtones with higher harmonics introduced with increased drive and signal level. The pedal can create a range of effects, from swept filter type sounds to intermodulation effects along the lines of a ring modulator. The frequency at which treble roll-off happens can be changed with the Guitar/Bass switch. The special distortion stage produces strong harmonic overtones, mostly odd harmonic, and higher harmonics are progressively introduced with increased drive settings and signal level. The Mix control is a balance between the preamp stage output and the special distortion stage output. The pedal is hand-made in New Zealand and is designed for guitar and bass guitar effects. For more detailed technical specifications, it is recommended to visit the official Crowther Audio website or authorized retailers.
