Stardust

The Stardust V3 by Crazy Tube Circuits is an overdrive pedal designed to capture the sound and response of three distinct blackface amplifier models. It features an all-analog signal path with discrete gain stages utilizing MOSFET transistors, providing juicy overdrive tones with great note separation that clean up to a sparkly sound. The pedal allows users to set gain and tone and control everything from their guitar, offering a range from sparkly clean to crunchy mean.

Key features include:
- Voicing selection via an onboard toggle switch for three amplifier models: BSM (voiced after a blackface amp head primarily targeted for bass guitar players), VLX (voiced after a chimey 2x10” combo offering controllable crunch), and DLX (voiced after a popular low wattage 1x12” combo amp).
- Top-mounted jacks and soft-click true bypass via a high-quality relay.
- Loads of output volume and enhanced headroom provided by 18V DC (boosted internally from an external 9V DC power supply), allowing it to be used as a preamp/booster.
- Warning: Designed for 9V DC center negative power supply only; do not use a higher voltage power supply.
