Description

Say hello to Unobtanium, a rare sonic element born out of legendary tones! With Unobtanium, a mythical overdrive meets the sound and feel of two iconic amplifiers. Crazy Tube Circuits have accurately recreated the circuit of the high-headroom overdrive with the magic blend of clean and overdriven tones and added extra features for versatility. The amp-in-a-box section uses an all-analogue circuit to capture the essence of two legendary D-style tube amplifiers — delivering anything from tube-like, compressed fat cleans to sweet singing overdrive with blooming harmonic overtones. Combine both sides for near-infinite smooth sustain and to enter sonic bliss, while a passive series effects loop gives you the option to connect your beloved pedals between the overdrive and amp section; building your ideal rig. Key Features Dual overdrive with independent operation. Two legendary sonic elements combined in one device. Right side: K-style pedal overdrive circuit including the fabled germanium diodes. Left side: D-style Amp in a box overdrive. Passive series effects loop to connect other pedals between the two sections or use them separately. Runs internally at 18V DC for higher headroom and tube-like performance. Exceptional pick attack response — almost infinite smooth sustain when both sides are combined. Top-mounted jacks for easy pedalboard mounting. Click-less true bypass design via high-quality relay. Use only 9V DC center negative power supply (not included). Modest current consumption of 83mA. Pebble grey die-cast enclosure with black ink in old-school type print. Made in Greece. Right Side Controls Controls: gain, treble (tone), volume, bypass mode and clipping/compression. Wide gain range control, from transparent boost to high headroom overdrive. Treble control is an active circuit to boost or cut highs. Volume knob sets overall output (huge amount of dB boost available). Toggle switch to select between the original buffer bypass to add clarity and run long cables or true bypass. Toggle switch to select between stock clipping/compression or enhanced gain and headroom/output. Left Side Controls Controls: gain, emphasis, tone, volume, amplifier voicing toggle. Gain control, from clean boost to sweet singing overdrive. Emphasis control is a pre-drive EQ to control presence and bottom-end response. Tone knob controls the amount of post overdrive high-end frequencies. Volume knob sets overall output (match bypassed volume or use as a clean boost or preamp). Toggle switch selects between two distinct D-style overdrive circuits. SSS: clean and transparent overdrive with natural organic compression. ODS: higher gain overdrive with enhanced mid frequencies and harmonic overtones. External footswitch input to select amplifier voicing (bypasses onboard toggle switch). Internal trimmers adjust EQ and volume boost of D-style overdrive voicings.
