Crazy Tube Circuits Ziggy V2

The Crazy Tube Circuits Ziggy v2 is a British-voiced dual overdrive and distortion pedal designed to deliver the dynamic, amp-like response of vintage tube heads. Built with discrete MOSFET gain stages, Ziggy v2 offers remarkable touch sensitivity, allowing players to shape their tone using just their pick attack and guitar’s volume knob. A true-bypass relay switching system toggles between two distinct channels: a low-gain circuit inspired by late ’60s Super Bass amps, and a high-gain channel modeled after the aggressive, saturated tones of late ’70s British master volume amplifiers.

Each channel has its own independent controls, with gain knobs that not only adjust saturation but also subtly shift the voicing—adding bass as you turn them up for thicker, heavier tones. The tone knobs function more like presence controls, dialing in top-end sparkle and bite. Powered by an internal voltage boost to 18V from a standard 9V input, Ziggy v2 maintains high headroom and clarity across both channels, making it an ideal foundation for players chasing articulate crunch, classic rock punch, or touch-sensitive lead tones.
