Crazy Tube Circuits Falcon Overdrive

crazytubecircu... A bit of backstage info… back in 2016 we built a custom amp that was designed to morph between the sounds of a 5E3 Tweed Deluxe and a 6G2 Brownface Princeton. We liked the sound and feel of the amp so much that we decided to capture it in a pedal format.
Falcon was designed as a painstakingly close emulation of the circuits found in these amps. With every detail in mind we copied the behavior, sound and feel of the preamp, phase inverter and power amp of both these designs. Applying JFET technology we managed to recreate not only the overdriven sounds but the lower gain / clean sounds as well.
The most important part was emulating the compression and sag coming out of the power amp and tube rectifier respectively. This effect enhances the pedal’s dynamic, musical feel and makes it very responsive to your picking attack. Depending on amp mode setting and your guitar / pickup’s output this effect can be more or less pronounced.

The Falcon is the new Tweed pedal king.

I love this channel's demoing format.
The first 2 minutes he does an amazing job making classic songs sound fresh while displaying a guitar pedal's full potential.
The rest of the video he does what we all do when we get a new pedal, noodle, but Mike's noodling is a studio quality demo.

[@hansfreekit]

I love your arrangement and chord inversions during this version. absolutely lovely.

[@melima9693]

Awesome pedal one of my favorites.love it great demo Mr. H

[@williamroark]

I love your choice of tunes.... you need to do an “Instrumental Band Camp” or something
(Or am just UNaware of your HIGH TENSION SUPER HERO IDENTITY?)
You’re my FAV STOMPBOX demonstrator by far,
(and I’m not a guitarist, rather a Seaboardist /Roli , who makes noise on a guitar)
You should do a RIG RUNDOWN sometime
(I would LOVE to see YOUR PEDALBOARD..... It must be like the Death Star 💫

[@popintothechemist]

I might just release some demo track compilations if anyone would be interested...

[@Xenormous]

@@popintothechemist Please do, we're all craving for that

[@jacobthomas2756]

Do it mike. Your arrangements always flow so well, I've been listening to you play for years and it never gets old.

SunCoaster It’s a killer drive!

[@GregVasquez777]

great playing for this pedal!! thanks

[@PhaseLockedLoop]

I have the lovepedal Les Lius (which is great!) but I may have to try this one too. Something about the tweed sound…

[@walterworrall]

Same! I recently got a fender twin and the les Luis is not quite jiving with the amp so I'm looking for other options.

[@tablaturebutler2823]

Let's be honest - whoever can play like Mike Hermans could plug into an empty cigarette carton and blow the rest of us away...

[@jsebsteelguitar]

Any good guitar in the hands of Mike Hermans into a Two Rock SP50 will sound amazing, whatever the pedal used...

[@franciscojavierzorrillabau4354]

[@olredbeard420]

[@belo1971]

Hi, I am a big fan of boutique OD pedals ( have many ones for collection !) but would like to get one soft fuzz/ OD one in my Fender DRRI 65 ...which one would match with my Fender amp ? Thanks a lot R.J and all friends here who will help me ! Kind regards from France
