Citadel Electronics was founded by Santiago Alvarez and Tommi Otsavaara.
Designed by musicians, for musicians
Citadel Electronicsf mission is simple yet ambitious: to provide high-quality circuit designs at affordable prices. With a focus on quality, performance, and reliability, we strive every day to create tools that meet the needs of musicians while reflecting our rigorous standards and vision.
Their dedication as craftsmen is evident in every aspect of their work.
While the current lineup consists primarily of analog circuits, Santiago and Tommi are fully committed to pursuing new innovations. By integrating novel features, they aim to break free from conventional wisdom and inspire usersf creativity. Citadel Electronics pedals are infused with a passion for music and engineering, crafted with the intention of creating products that they themselves would use and be proud of.

The Vector is an octave fuzz pedal that delivers a torrent of raw, harmonically rich distortion, enhanced by the magic of an octave-up effect. Its hybrid silicon-germanium circuit delivers a wide range of tones, from warm, vintage-inspired textures to crunchy, synth-like square-wave sounds.
Control Details
OCTAVE: Adjusts the amount of the octave-up effect, adding crisp and crunchy layers to the sound. This effect is strongest in the high frequencies and is focused on single notes.

TONE: Adjusts the high-frequency response after the fuzz circuit, balancing the brightness and warmth of the sound.

LEVEL: Sets the pedalfs output volume.

FUZZ: Controls the overall intensity of the fuzz, ranging from subtle grit to uncontrollable, chaotic fuzz.

WEAR: Simulates the sound of a dying battery by adjusting the internal voltage between 9V (counterclockwise) and 5V (clockwise). The lower voltage destabilizes the transistor bias, producing a more erratic and chaotic lo-fi sound.

TRUE BYPASS (with activation mode switch): Use the side switch to set the pedalfs operating mode (On/Bypass).
