A bit of backstage info… back in 2016 Crazy Tube Circuits built a custom amp that was designed to morph between the sounds of a 5E3 Tweed Deluxe and a 6G2 Brownface Princeton. We liked the sound and feel of the amp so much that we decided to capture it in a pedal format. Falcon was designed as a painstakingly close emulation of the circuits found in these amps. With every detail in mind CTC copied the behavior, sound and feel of the preamp, phase inverter and power amp of both these designs. Applying JFET technology they managed to recreate not only the overdriven sounds but the lower gain / clean sounds as well. The most important part was emulating the compression and sag coming out of the power amp and tube rectifier respectively. This effect enhances the pedal’s dynamic, musical feel and makes it very responsive to your picking attack. Depending on amp mode setting and your guitar / pickup’s output this effect can be more or less pronounced.

Product Features

• Dual Classic Amp Emulation: Captures the iconic tones of both a 5E3 Tweed Deluxe and a 6G2 Brownface Princeton amplifier in a single pedal
• JFET Technology: Utilizes JFET circuitry to accurately recreate both clean and overdriven sounds from the original amps
• Detailed Amp Modeling: Faithfully replicates the behavior, sound, and feel of the pre-amp, phase inverter, and power amp sections of the Tweed Deluxe and Brownface Princeton designs
• Power Amp Compression and Sag: Emulates the compression and dynamic response of the original amps' power sections for a more natural and touch-sensitive playing experience
• Responsive to Playing Dynamics: Responds to your picking attack for nuanced control over the overdrive intensity
• Variable Intensity: The level of power amp compression and sag can vary depending on the selected amp mode and your guitar's output
