Crazy Tube Circuits Pedals Review: Top 3 Picks - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

Crazy Tube Circuits' Black Magic delivers robust high-gain tones that cater to rock enthusiasts, boasting impressive touch sensitivity and a thick, muscular sound when paired with a tube amp. However, the mid-boost switch lacks noticeable impact, which may disappoint some users. Overall, it excels for those seeking British-styled rock sounds, though it may not suit players less inclined towards high gain or extensive EQ options.
