The Crazy Tube Circuits Limelight is an all-analog fuzz/distortion pedal that pays tribute to the earliest fuzz tones in rock history—starting with the first commercially available fuzz and its British descendants. While it’s not a part-for-part clone of any specific circuit, Limelight delivers those classic sounds with added versatility and range.

At the heart of the pedal is the Beam control, which lets you morph between gated, sputtering fuzz reminiscent of early “Satisfaction”-style tones and the more aggressive, harmonically rich distortion of classic mkI and mkII fuzzes. Whether you're after snarling vintage grit or thick, sustaining leads, Limelight gives you a wide sonic palette to explore.

What sets this pedal apart is its remarkable low-gain performance. With the Gain set low and the Beam turned up, Limelight transforms into a highly dynamic, amp-pushing boost—perfect for players who want edge-of-breakup tones with vintage color and character.

Each Limelight is equipped with three hand-selected NOS Germanium transistors, chosen for optimal performance and tonal consistency. This careful selection ensures that every unit delivers warm, expressive fuzz with excellent responsiveness.

From dirty boost to full-blown retro fuzz, the Limelight is a unique, expressive tool for anyone chasing bold, character-driven tones.
