Crazy Tube Circuits Falcon

A bit of backstage info… back in 2016 they built a custom amp that was designed to morph between the sounds of a 5E3 Tweed Deluxe and a 6G2 Brownface Princeton. They liked the sound and feel of the amp so much that they 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 they copied the behavior, sound and feel of the preamp, phase inverter and power amp of both these designs. Applying JFET technology they 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.
