The Planet B by Crazy Tube Circuits is voiced after a 70s high wattage guitar tube amp that was also used on bass guitar in rock, doom, sludge, and stoner bands. It features a gain control that provides a wide range of sounds, from big bold clean to heavy overdrive that retains clarity even at maximum settings. The blend control allows users to mix the clean signal and preserve low frequencies. The tone control only affects the overdrive signal, and the volume control sets the master volume of the pedal (post blend).
Additionally, the pedal includes a voicing toggle switch that boosts mid frequencies in supersonic mode to ensure the user will be heard from a distance. There is also a second channel with separate gain and volume controls and an "ignition" toggle switch for even more drive, providing massive clean to legendary mean tones.
The Planet B is an all-analog overdrive pedal designed to deliver the essence of a 1970s Orange OR120 through a smaller combo or class-D amp. It features standard controls for tone, volume, gain, and blend, as well as a supersonic switch for on-the-fly mid boost. The pedal is known for providing excellent overdrive sounds and a smooth, warm tone.
The pedal is priced at $200 and is designed to cater to bassists seeking a new/old flavor of OD grit.
