Insanely good!

I was in need of a decent preamp, and this with it's FET based covered it so well. It's very versatile in it's tone sculpting, and the Vibrato is a fantastic bonus. All crammed into such a small package. I can't recommend it high enough!

Sounds in the bunch

Easy to use, well built; preamp colours the sound but not in the way I expected. To me sounds as an Angry Charly or a BritishTrue Tone.

The vibrato is fine. Sounds as expected.

Good construction. Haven't opened its gut yet. But I will.

Technical Data

  • Manufactured by Crazy Tube Circuits
  • Released in 2020
  • Average price : $196
  • Pre-amp / vibrato
  • Inspired by California amps of the 50s and 60s with real pitch-shifting vibrato circuitry
  • The Killer V copies the behaviour, the sound and the feel of the preamp, the phase inverter, the power amplifier and the compression / sag of the tube rectification
  • It manages to emulate not only the overdriven sounds, but also the lower gain / clean sounds of these amps, as well as the LFO and the two phase shift modulation levels, in order to produce a pitch modulation effect that is sound-like that of the originals
  • As in most original designs, there is also the option of placing the dry (unmodulated) signal parallel to the wet (modulated) signal and thus creating swirling phaser / vibe sounds
  • Controls: Volume, Master, Depth, Bass, Treble and Speed
  • Switches: B / N / M (Bright / Normal / Mellow), Wet / Dry Wet
  • LED: Effect On, Vibrato On
  • Foot switch: effect bypass, vibrato bypass
  • Input and output: 6.3 mm jack
  • Mains adapter connection: Coaxial connection 5.5 x 2.1 mm, negative polarity inside
  • Current consumption: 45 mA
  • Power supply with a 9 V DC power adapter (not included)
  • Dimensions : 72mm x 114mm x 50mm
