Crazy Tube Circuits Venus
Product information "Crazy Tube Circuits Venus"
The Venus is a true tube overdrive that brings the magic of one of the most legendary tube circuits into a modern, compact format. Inspired by the most iconic tube overdrive pedal in history, Venus offers everything from a gentle, bluesy breakup to fully saturated distortion.
Equipped with a high-quality ECC832 tube, Venus delivers exceptional dynamic response and tonal flexibility. The three-band EQ provides precise tone shaping, while the tube-bias control lets you shape the compression and saturation of the overdrive. Whether as a transparent boost or a full-bodied drive, Venus delivers the warmth and harmonic complexity that only a true tube circuit can provide.
A switchable line-driver/buffer ensures a strong, clear signal throughout the chain, making Venus a reliable choice for both live performance and studio applications. With the PowerUp preset function for the footswitch you can set your preferred bypass/engage state. That way you can determine whether the pedal is "On" or "Off" as soon as it receives power.
Designed for guitarists who crave the rich sound of a tube but don't have room for huge pedals, Venus is the perfect companion for any setup — from vintage amps to modern pedalboards.

Je suis satisfait de cette période à lampe. Bonne fabrication, les sons sont hypers précis, en Overdrive comme en distorsion. Je la recommande fortement.
Der Venus ist ein echter Röhren-Overdrive mit Anlehnung an einem BK Butler Tube Driver, den ich leider aber noch nie anspielen konnte. Diese klassische Röhrenschaltung kommt hier als kompaktes Format, kann mit 9V Speisung oder dem originalen Netzteil platzsparend auf alle Pedalboards integriert werden. Persönlich war mir der Röhren-Overdrive-Klang einfach zu viel Gezerre. Nach 10 Minuten habe ich darauf die originale JJ ECC832 gegen eine alte ECC82 NOS Röhre getauscht und fand sanftere Gain Einstellungen, die mir eher entgegenkommen. Grundsätzlich total spannend und da man die Röhre von ECC81 bis ECC83 nach Belieben tauschen kann, ziemlich flexibel und vielseitig einsetzbar. Den Kaluna II kann er nicht ersetzten, scheint andere Ziele zu verfolgen, je nach Geschmack kann mancher damit aber bestimmt glücklich werden.
