Overdrive, distortion & fuzz effect pedal
The CRAZY TUBE CIRCUIT Motherload (Fuzz/Distortion) pedal is a true fusion of retro sounds, designed for guitarists looking for authentic and powerful distortion.
Overview
Built around a 100% analog circuit, the CRAZY TUBE CIRCUIT Motherload pedal combines two of the most iconic effects for electric guitar: the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff and the ProCo RAT. Thanks to its independent circuits and high-performance EQ, this pedal will satisfy fans of rock, blues-rock, alternative rock, grunge, and stoner rock.
Two circuits for varied and customizable tones
The Motherload features a pair of circuits that can be switched between using a dedicated toggle switch, allowing you to explore a wide range of tonal textures. The gain and volume controls are shared, while each circuit has its own individual EQ.
Rich, dynamic distortion for all styles
The R section is inspired by the ProCo RAT and produces generous distortion, ranging from mid-gain overdrive to cutting distortion. The Filter control lets you adjust the high frequencies to shape the character of your tones. On the other hand, the M section, inspired by the EHX Big Muff, delivers a dense and complex fuzz with impressive sustain while ensuring clear note separation.
Link EQ: Expand Your Sound Possibilities
The LINK EQ switch activates all three EQ parameters simultaneously, whether you’re in R or M mode. This feature provides access to additional tonal options, particularly by transforming the mid-frequency response to enrich your sonic palette.
