Crazy Tube Circuits Sidekick Jr

The Crazy Tube Circuits Sidekick JR is a compact and powerful multi-effects pedal, combining modulation, delay, and reverb into a single unit ideal for both modern and vintage-inspired tones. Designed to cover a broad sonic spectrum—from lush '80s-style effects to ambient soundscapes—it offers studio-quality time-based effects in a pedalboard-friendly enclosure.

The modulation section features three distinct modes: Ensemble delivers a warm, lush chorus; Dimension offers a wide stereo-style modulation without excessive swirl; and Flanger adds metallic depth with subtle feedback. The delay section includes both analog-voiced tape echo and pristine digital rack-style repeats, while the reverb section is split into two banks: one with classic plate, spring, and hall, and another with experimental sounds like gated, shimmer, and the immersive Exciter. Each section is independently switchable, and modulation can be assigned freely—or controlled independently with an optional XT footswitch. With smart preset memory and versatile routing, the Sidekick JR is a professional-grade solution for players seeking rich, layered textures without sacrificing space.
