Unlock a world of tonal possibilities with the Crazy Tube Circuits HI-Power Overdrive Effects Pedal. Engineered for the discerning guitarist, this pedal marries boost and overdrive with analog amp simulation, delivering an authentic homage to the iconic tones of David Gilmour's "Wish You Were Here" era. On the right side, experience a faithful reproduction of the legendary Colour sound boost and overdrive, while the left side serves as an analog replica of a Hiwatt 100W or 50W amp.

Designed for versatility, the HI-Power features a dynamic playing feel, thanks to its internal voltage doubling to 18V. This pedal allows independent use of the boost and amplifier sections, with a dedicated send/return socket for signal path separation. Navigate effortlessly between boost and overdrive modes with the PWR/ODR switch, and adjust your dynamics with the 103/504 switch to toggle between 100W and 50W amp settings.

This pedal offers a range of tonal sculpting options, including a Hiwatt-style 3-band EQ and a Baxandall EQ design for bass/treble on the boost side. Whether you're aiming for a bright, linked, or normal input combination, the B/L/N switch has you covered. With true bypass footswitches, a robust power supply connection, and a sleek design, the HI-Power is a must-have for any pedalboard.
