A Magnatone-inspired overdrive and vibrato!
With the Killer V, Crazy Tube Circuits set out to replicate the sound and feel of the classic 1962 Magnatone Custom 460 Vibrato amp.
The basic paradigm here is to provide two amp functions in one compact pedal.
On the one hand, this is a deliciously dirty Magnatone-inspired preamp.
On the other, the Killer V is also a nice-sounding vibrato with its own dedicated footswitch.
Crazy Tube Circuits designed the Killer V around JFET technology and an internal voltage multiplier.
This gives the Killer V much higher headroom in an attempt to create the ultimate tube-like tone.
CTS managed to recreate not only the overdriven sounds but the lower gain, clean sounds of this classic amp as well!
Magnatone-inspired preamp.
The preamp tone here isn’t your average hi-fi, clean preamp sound.
Instead, the Killer V gives you a big dose of dirt, compression and a colouring reminiscent of sounds from the 50s and 60s.
In addition to the 2-band EQ, you can select 3 modes via a toggle switch: Mellow, Normal and Bright.
Over the years, the Magnatone amplifiers have been modified a few times to get even more gain out of them.
To reflect this, Crazy Tube Circuits included an additional hidden setting allowing for more dirt.
Magnatone-style vibrato.
Magnatone amps are renowned for their pitch-shifting vibrato.
With the Killer V, Crazy Tube Circuits set out to create a pitch modulation effect reminiscent of the real thing.
CTS also added the option of placing dry (unmodulated) signal in parallel with the wet (modulated) signal to create whirling phaser / vibe sounds.
